Setting Cooking Times & Power Levels

Your microwave allows you to set up to two different stages of cooking, 
each with its own time length and power level. The power level button 
lets you control the heating intensity from Warm (1) to High (0).

One-stage Cooking 

For simple one-stage cooking, you only need to set a cooking time. The 
power level is automatically set to High. If you want to set the power to 
any other level, you must set it using the Power Level button.

1

Use the number buttons to set a cooking time. You can set a time 
from one second to 99 minutes, 99 seconds. To set a time over one 
minute, enter the seconds too. For example, to set 20 minutes, 
enter 2, 0, 0, 0 .

2

If you want to set the power level to something other than High, 
press the Power Level button, then use the number buttons to 
enter a power level.

Power Levels:

1 = PL:10 (Warm)

6 = PL:60 (Simmer)

2 = PL:20 (Low)

7 = PL:70 (Medium High)

3 = PL:30 (Defrost)

8 = PL:80 (Reheat)

4 = PL:40 (Medium Low)

9 = PL:90 (Sauté)

5 = PL:50 (Medium)

0 = PL:Hi (High)

3

Press the Start button to begin cooking. If you want to change the 
power level, press Pause/Cancel before you press Start, and re-
enter all of the instructions. 

Some recipes require different stages of cooking at different 
temperatures. You can set multiple stages of cooking with your 
microwave.

Multi-stage Cooking 

1

previous page. 

When entering more than one cooking stage, the Power Level 
button must be pressed before the second cooking stage can be 
entered. 

To set the power level at High for a stage of cooking, press the 
Power Level button twice.
