COOKING AT LOWER POWER
LEVELS
HIGH power cooking does not always give you the
best results with foods that need slower cooking, such
as roasts, baked goods, or custards. Your oven has 10
power settings in addition to HIGH.
Example: To cook food for 7 minutes 30 seconds
at 70% power.
1. Enter the cook time.

3. Enter the power level.
4. Touch ENTER/START pad. When the
cook time is over, you will hear four
beeps and COOK END will display.
COOKING WITH MORE THAN
ONE COOK CYCLE
For best results, some recipes call for one Power Level
for a certain length of time, and another Power Level
for another length of time. Your oven can be set to
change from one to another automatically, for up to
three cycles if the first heating cycle is defrost or the
last at 0% power. See Cooking Guide for Power Levels,
page 10.
Example: To cook food for 3 minutes at 100%
power and then 70% power for 7 minutes 30
seconds.
1. Enter the first cook time.
2. Touch MICRO. pad.
3. Enter the second cook time.
4. Touch POWER pad.
