Microwave Cooking Power Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name or number. For example, 70% = 7 = Medium-High. Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested cooking power of specific foods. Percent/Name 100%, High (default setting) 90% 80% 70%, Medium-High 60% 50%, Medium 40% 30%, Medium-Low, Defrost 20% 10%, Low Use Quick-heating convenience foods and foods with high water content, such as soups, beverages, and most vegetables. Cooking small, tender pieces of meat, ground meat, poultry pieces, and fish fillets. Heating cream soups. Heating rice, pasta, or stirrable casseroles. Cooking and heating foods that need a cook power lower than high. For example, whole fish and meat loaf. Reheating a single serving of food. Cooking sensitive foods such as cheese and egg dishes, pudding, and custards. Cooking non-stirrable casseroles, such as lasagna. Cooking ham, whole poultry, and pot roasts. Simmering stews. Melting chocolate. Heating bread, rolls, and pastries. Defrosting bread, fish, meats, poultry, and precooked foods. Softening butter, cheese, and ice cream. Taking chill out of fruit. Turntable A B C A. Turntable B. Support and rollers C. Hub The turntable rotates in both directions to help cook food more evenly. Do not operate the microwave oven without having the turntable in place. See the "Assistance or Service" section to reorder any of the parts. The raised, curved lines in the center of the turntable bottom fit between the three spokes of the hub. The hub turns the turntable during microwave oven use. The rollers on the support should fit inside the turntable bottom ridge. NOTE: The microwave oven cooling fan may continue to run for several minutes after the cooking cycle has been completed. The microwave cooking does not continue beyond the end of cooking cycle. To Turn On/Off For best microwave oven performance, it is recommended to always leave the turntable on. If necessary, the turntable can be turned off (except during an auto function). This is helpful when cooking with a dish that is larger than the turntable. 8
