It just turns off the element that emits the waves for a percentage of the time so the heat has a chance to spread out more evenly. My problem is that I skim the instructions for the time, miss that it says medium power, and burn my item to a crisp on accident.
I have never learned how to change the microwave power setting, and now I am too afraid to try it
I set the power to 50% and then double the cooking time. Takes longer but everything turns out better.

Mine you need to press tge power settings until the desired power (start in 10 and go down up to 1), then press the time as usual and start.
Usually there’s a button right next to the numbers or start button that’s for cook power.
It’s only a one time thing, it doesn’t save either.
