As you get to know your microwave oven, you may find that a particular setting is too low or too high for the results you
desire.
Multiple-power control gives you the means to obtain greater precision in setting power levels. For instance, if you want
a power level between ROAST and REHEAT, you would set the time as usual: touch POWER CONTROL, and then
touch “7” and “5.” The display window will show “75,” indicating that your oven is set to run at power level 75—halfway
between ROAST and REHEAT.
