Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave
cooking . The power levels on the microwave oven can be
compared to the surface units on a range . Each power
level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of
the time . Power level 7 is microwave energy 70% of
the time . Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time . Most
cooking will be done on High (power level 10) which
gives you 100% power . Power level 10 will cook faster
but food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or
turning over . A lower setting will cook more evenly and
need less stirring or rotating of the food . Some foods
may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of
the lower settings is used . Use a lower power level when
cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as
scalloped potatoes and some casseroles .

Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off)
give time for the food to "equalize" or transfer heat to
the inside of the food . An example of this is shown with
Power level 3—the defrost cycle . If microwave energy
did not cycle off, the outside of the food would cook
before the inside was defrosted .
Here are some examples of uses for various power
levels:
High 10 (100%): Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids .
Med-High 7 (70%): Gentle cooking of meat and poultry;
baking casseroles and reheating .
Medium 5 (50%): Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews
and less tender cuts of meat .
Low 2 or 3 (20 or 30%): Defrosting; simmering; delicate
sauces .
Warm 1 (10%): Keeping food warm; softening butter.
NOTE: You can also change the power level during
many cooking modes by pressing the power level button
entering a valid power level .
