About changing the power level.

POWER

START/PAUSE

The power level may be entered or changed

immediately after entering the time for Time

Cook, Time Defrost or Express Cook. The

power level may also be changed during time

countdown.

Q First, follow directions for Time Cook, Time

Defrost or Express Cook.

g Press the POWER button.

g Turn the dial clockwise to increase and

counterclockwise to decrease the power

level. Press the dial to enter.

Q Press the START/PAUSE button to start

cooking.

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

/eve/IQ) 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.

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 levels—

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; Fish, bacon, vegetables, heating

liquids.

Med-High 7; Gentle cooking of meat and

poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.

Medium 5; Slow cooking and tenderizing for

stews and less tender cuts of meat.

Low2 or3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate

sauces.

Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.

Microwave terms.

Term Definition

Arcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by;

■ the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the microwave walls.

■ metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

■ foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

■ metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.

■ recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

■ the turntable ring support being installed incorrectly.

Covering Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or

covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.

Shielding In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving,

you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would

cook before larger parts.

Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or

to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not

placed on a cooling rack.

Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess

steam can escape.
