Setting Power Level
Using the highest power level to heat foods does
not always give the best results when some types
of food need slower cooking, such as roasts, baked
goods, or custards. Your oven has ten other power
levels you may choose.
To set to cook at a lower power level:
1. Use the number pad to enter the time in min-
utes and seconds. For example, to heat for 5
minutes and 30 seconds, enter
5 3 0
.
Note:
For time sets that start with numbers
1 - 9, the remaining numbers must be entered
within 2 second from the fi rst key press, other-
wise the Quick Start time will be used.
2. Press
the
Power Level
pad until the desired
level displays. For example, press once for high
power (PL-HI). Press
Power Level
four times
to change to 70% power (PL-70). The selected
power level appears in the display.
3. Press
START
.
When the time runs out, three long tones sound,
and “FOOD READY” shows in the display.
Quick Start
Microwave heating or cooking may be quickly

Press the number pad key for the desired number
of minutes. The microwave will start a couple of
seconds later.
When the time runs out, three long tones sound,
