Variable power levels add flexibility to your

microwave cooking. The power levels on your

gives you miciowave energy a certain percent
of the time. Power level 7 is microwave energy

70% of the time. Power level 3 is microwave
energy 30% of the time. Most cooking will be

done on High (power level 10) which gives
you 100% power.

Power level 10 will cook thster but tood may
