Before you use your new microwave oven, read the instructions carefully. Each oven has its own
control panel (控制板), but most microwave ovens operate in a similar way. Look at the control panel. It
shows the time at the top of the panel. Under the time are the different functions (功能).You can press
Defrost, Cook, Clock, or Power. You can also warm food by pressing Reheat Times.
Under the functions are the numbers. These numbers are shown as on telephone, from zero through
nine. You can press the numbers to set the cooking time in seconds or minutes. Under the numbers are Start
and Clear.
A microwave oven will automaticall (自动) cook on HIGH (power level 10) unless you enter a lower
power level. Suppose you want to cook a serving of broccoli for two minutes and forty-five seconds on
MEDIUM (power level 5). First, press the numbers2,4and5 (two minutes, forty-five seconds).Then press
Power. Next, press the number 5.At last, press Start to begin cooking. If you make a mistake, press Clear.
This will clear the display and allow you to start oven again.
