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.
