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 lime as usual: touch MICRO
POWER, and then touch "7” and "5". The display window will show '*75’’, indicating that your oven is set to
mn at power level 75—halfway between ROAST and REHEAT.
