As you get to know your microwave oven, you may find that a particular setting is too low or too high for the results 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 POWER 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.
