LEVELS (1-10)
Variable power levels add flexibility to your
microwave cooking. The power levels on your
microwave oven can be compared to the surface
units on a range. HIGH (Power Level 10) or full
power is the fastest way to cook and gives you
100% power. Each power level gives you microwave
energy a certain percent of the time. Power Level 7 is

to the inside of the food. An example of this is shown
with Power Level 3—the defrost cycle. If microwave

cook before the inside was defrosted.
Here are some examples of uses for various power

LEVEL
BEST USES
A high setting (10) will cook faster but may need
additional attention such as frequent stirring, rotating
or turning over. Most of your cooking will be done
on HIGH (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook
more evenly and with less attention given to stirring
or rotating the food. Some foods may have better
flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower
settings is used. You may wish to use a lower power
level when cooking foods that have a tendency to
boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.

Questions and Answers
Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?
Q. When I press the START pad, I hear a dull,
thumping noise. What is it?
A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention
usual. Raise the power level after entering the time
by touching the POWER LEVEL pad and then the
desired number. Power level 5 (Medium) cuts the
total defrosting time in about 1/2; power level 10
(High) cuts the total defrosting time in about 1/3.
During either, rotate or stir food frequently.
A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know
oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High).

After Auto Defrosting, meat needs to stand in order to
let the inside defrost. You may take the food out of the
oven if you wish. Stand time recommendations are
given in the Auto Defrost Guide.

Stirring. In range-top cooking, you stir foods up from
the bottom to heat them evenly. When microwaving,
you stir cooked portions from the outside to the center.
Foods that require constant stirring will need only
occasional stirring when microwaving.

foods, such as hamburgers, so both sides can directly
contact the hot pan. When microwaving, turning is
often needed during defrosting or when cooking

3. Be sure
meats are completely defrosted before cooking.
1. Food packaged in paper or plastic maybe defrosted without
unwrapping. If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place food
in cooking dish for defrosting. Most food defrosts well using
Defrost (3). For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as
beef, lamb and veal roasts, use Warm (1).
4. When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in areas.
If still slightly icy, return to microwave oven very briefly, or let
stand a few minutes.
2. After first half of defrosting time, unwrap package and check
food. Turn food over, if necessary; break apart or separate food
if possible. Shield any warm areas with small pieces of foil.
