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).

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.

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 .

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:

3 = PL:30 (Defrost)
8 = PL:80 (Reheat)
