Powerlevel 3 is energy 30% ofthe time.A high setting will cookfaster but food may needmore frequent stirring,rotating or turning over.Most cooking will be doneon power level Hi. A lowersetting will cook moreevenly and need lessstirring or rotating ofthe food.Some foods may havebetter flavor, texture orappearance if one of thelower settings is used. Usea lower power level whencooking foods that have atendency to boil over, suchas scalloped potatoes.Rest periods (when themicrowave energy cyclesoff) give time for the foodto “equalize” or transferheat to the inside of thefood. An example of this isshown with power level 3—the defrost cycle. If micro-wave energy did not cycleoff, the outside of the foodwould cook before theinside was defrosted.Here are some examplesof uses for various powerlevels:Power Level Best UsesHi Fish, bacon,vegetables,boiling liquids.Med-High 7 Gentlecooking ofmeat andpoultry;bakingcasserolesand reheating.Medium 5 Slow cookingand tenderiz-ing such asstews and lesstender cuts ofmeat.Low 2 or 3 Defrostingwithoutcooking;simmering;delicate sauces.Warm 1 Keeping foodwarm withoutovercooking;softeningbutter.How to Change thePower LevelThe power level maybe entered or changedimmediately afterentering the featuretime for TIME COOK.1 Press TIME COOK.2 Enter cooking time.3 Press POWER LEVEL.4 Select desired powerlevel 1–9.5 Press START.Changing PowerLevels1 325 67 8 90414POWER LEVEL
