Hi there, valued consumer! Great question! On many Frigidaire microwaves, including the Gallery 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-The-Range model, when you start entering a cooking time, if you just press a number like "4" it often triggers the Quick Start function at 100% power immediately—especially if you press Start right away.

To time cook for 4:20 at 70% power without activating quick start, here’s the usual way to avoid that immediate quick start:

Step-by-step:
1. Press the Power Level button first (sometimes labeled "Power Level" or just "Power").
2. Enter the desired power level as a percentage on the keypad:
- For 70% power, press 7 (some models expect a number from 1 to 10, where 10 is 100%, so 7 corresponds to 70%).
3. Enter the cooking time:
- Press 4, then 2, then 0 for 4 minutes and 20 seconds.
4. Press Start to begin cooking at the set time and power level.

Correct order:
Power Level → 7 → 4 → 2 → 0 → Start
