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 COOK
CONTROL, and then touch “7” and “5.” The Display
Window will show “75,” indicating that your oven is set
to run at a 75% power level-halfway between ROAST
and REHEAT.
