than one item is being cooked or a recipe
calls for it.
NOTE:
If the oven is set to cook for more than 20
minutes, it will automatically adjust itself to
70 percent power after 20 minutes to avoid
overcooking.
Multi - stage cooking
For best results, some recipes call for one
Power Level for a certain length of time, and
another Power Level for another length of time.
Your oven can be set to automatically change
