Power Levels
How to Change
the Power Level
The power level is lowered
from the default 100% (PL10)
by touching “POWER”.
Variable power levels add
microwave flexibility to
microwave cooking. The power
level on the microwave oven
can be compared to the sur-
face units on a range. The
power level of PL10 is 100%
(or full) power, and this is the
fastest way to cook. Each
power level gives you
microwave energy a certain
percent of the time . PL7
(power level 7) is microwave
energy 70% of the time. Power
level 3 is energy 30% of the
time. At the default setting
(High) food will cook faster but
it may need more frequent stir-
ring, rotating or turning over.
Most cooking will be done on
default (High/PL10). A lower
setting will cook more evenly
and need less stirring or rotat-
ing 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 cook-
ing foods that have a tendency
to boil over, such as scalloped
potatoes. 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:
