tIigh (power level 10) or tull power is the/ilstest
way to cook and g+ves you 100% power. Each t}ower
level gives you microwave energ-y a certain percem
of the time. Power level 7 is microwave energ-y 70%
ot tile tin/e. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time.
A high setting (10) vail (ook faster but tood may

Some/oods ma} have better flavor, texture or
appearance if one of tile lower settings is used. Llse
a lower power level when cooking/oods that have a
tendency to boil ovec such as scalloped potatoes.
Rest lleriods (when tile microwave energ} Qcles o/t)
give time tot tile/ood to "equalize" or transti'r heat
to tile inside of tile tood. All example of this is
shown with power level 3--the deti'ost cycle. If
microwaxe energy did not cycle oil, the outside of
tile/ood would cook be/ore tile inside was de/i'osted.
