the inside was defrosted.
Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the time. Power level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time. Most cooking will be done on Power Level 10 which gives you 100% power.
Power Level 10 will cook faster but food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. A lower setting will cook more evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the food.
Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Here are some examples of uses for various power levels::
Power Level 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, heating liquids.
Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and less tender cuts of meat.
Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces. Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.

Time Defrost
Time Defrost allows you to defrost for a selected length of time. See the Defrosting Guide for suggested times.
1.Press Defrost twice (display must show Time Defrost).
2.Enter defrosting time.
3.Press Start/Pause.
When the oven signals, turn food over and break apart or rearrange pieces for more even defrosting. Shield any warm areas with small pieces of foil. The oven will continue to defrost if you don’t open the door and turn the food.
Power level is automatically set at 3, but can be changed. You can defrost small items quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to approximately 1/3. However, food will need more frequent attention than usual.
A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting. This is normal when oven is not operating at High power.
Defrosting Tips
•Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be partially uncovered.
•Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
•For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as roasts, use Defrost Weight. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking.
•Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
•When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand for a few minutes.
Weight Defrost
Weight defrost automatically sets the defrosting tmes and power levels to give even defrosting results for meats, poultry and fish weighing up to six pounds.
1.Press Defrost (display must show Weight Defrost).
2.Using the conversion guide, enter food weight. For example, press pads 1 and 2 for 1.2 pounds (1 pound, 3 ounces).
3.Press Start/Pause.
There is a cooking guide located on the inside front of the oven.
•Remove meat from package and place on microwavesafe dish.
•When the oven signals, turn the food over. Remove defrosted meat or shield warm areas with small pieces of foil.
•After defrosting, most meats need to stand 5 minutes to complete defrosting. Large roasts should stand for about 30 minutes.
Conversion Guide
If the weight of food is stated in pounds and ounces, the ounces must be converted to tenths (.1) of a pound.

About the features
Humidity Sensor
The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.
Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the same food portion—it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. Be sure to let the oven cool down for 5-10 minutes before starting the next sensor cook.
If food is undercooked after the countdown, use Cook Time for additional cooking time.
