USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS For best results, some recipes call for different cook powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the cooking. Each number from 1 to 9 stands for a different percentage of full cook power. The following chart gives the percentage of cook power each number pad stands for, and the cook power name usually used. It also tells you when to use each cook power. Follow recipe or food package instructions if available. NOTE: Refer to a reliable cookbook for cooking times based on the 900 Watt cook power of your microwave oven. COOK Power 100% of full power 9 = 90% of full power 8 = 80% of full power 7 = 70% of full power 6 = 60% of full power 5 = 50% of full power 4 = 40% of full power 3 = 30% of full power 2 = 20% of full power 1 = 10% of full power 0 = 0% of full power NAME High Medium-High Medium Medium-Low, Defrost Low None WHEN TO USE IT • Quick heating many convenience foods and foods with high water content, such as soups and beverages. • Cooking tender cuts of meat, ground meat, • Heating cream soups • Heating rice, pasta, or casseroles • Cooking and heating foods that need a Cook Power lower than high (for example, whole fish and meat loaf) or when food is cooking too fast • Reheating a single serving of food • Cooking requiring special care, such as cheese and egg dishes, pudding, and custards • Finishing cooking casseroles • Cooking ham, whole poultry, and pot roasts • Simmering stews • Melting chocolate • Heating pastries • Manually defrosting foods, such as bread, fish, meats, poultry, and precooked foods • Softening butter, cheese, and ice cream • Keeping food warm • Standing time NOTE: Once cook time has been entered, you can also use the ower Level pad as a second Kitchen Timer by entering "0" for the Cook Power.
