you desire.
Multiple-power control gives you the means to obtain greater precision in setting power levels. For instance, if you
want a power level between ROAST and REHEAT, you would set the time as usual: touch COOK CONTROL,
and then touch "7" and "5". The display window will show "75". indicating that your oven is set to run at
Power Level 75--halfway between ROAST and REHEAT.
