Microwave Cooking Times & Power Levels
The power level lets you control the heating intensity from Warm (1) to High (10).
Cooking at high power levels
1. Use the number buttons to enter the cooking time.
2. Press the ENTER/START button.
3. When the cooking time is over, four beeps will sound and End is displayed.
NOTE
If you do not enter a power level, the microwave oven cooks at the High Power
Level by default.
Cooking at lower power levels
Cooking at high power does not always give you the best results with foods that
require slower cooking, such as roasts, baked goods, or custards. Your oven has 9
additional power settings in addition to high.

When selecting more than one cooking stage, you must press the Power Level

stage.
