MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS

For best results, some recipes call for different cook

powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the

cooking. Each number from 1 to 9 stands for a

different percentage of full cook power.

The following table gives the percentage of cook power

each number pad stands for, and the cook power

name usually used.

It also tells you when to use each cook power.

Follow recipe or food package instructions if available.
