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 power level 75 — halfway between ROAST and REHEAT.
