Setting Timed Cooking With Power Level
This feature lets you program a specific cook time and power. For best results, there are 10 power level settings in addition to HIGH (100%) power.

NOTE: If you do not select a power level, the oven will automatically cook at HIGH (100%) power.
Setting Two-Stage Cooking
For best results, some recipes call for different power levels during a cook cycle . You can program your oven for two power level stages during the cooking cycle.


NOTE: You can program a "0" power second stage for standing time inside the oven.
To Set Power Level
There are eleven preset power levels.
Using lower power levels increases the cooking time which is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk and long slow cooking of meats. Consult cookbook or recipes for specific recommendations.

NOTE: DO NOT STORE THE RACK IN THE MICROWAVE WHEN NOT IN USE.
Using the Rack
The rack allows several foods to be cooked or reheated at one time. However, for the best cooking and reheating, use Turntable ON function and cook with SENSOR COOKING or AUTO COOKING without the rack. When the rack is used, set time and power level manually. Allow plenty of space around and between the dishes. Pay close attention to the cooking and reheating progress. Reposition the foods and reverse them from the rack to turntable and/or stir them at least once during any cooking or reheating time. After cooking or reheating, stir if possible. Using a lower power level will assist in better cooking and reheating uniformity.
Avoid:
NOTE: Turntable on/off function can be used in Manual Operation. See page 28.
Manual Defrost
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Defrost chart or is above or below the limits in the Amount column on the Defrost chart (see page 22-23), you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using power level for 30%.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on power level 30% until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.
Sensor cooking has an electronic controlled sensor that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for various foods and quantities automatically.
Using Sensor Settings:
Covering Foods:
Some foods cook better when covered.
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from you.
NOTES for SENSOR COOKING
Sensor Cook
You can cook foods by pressing the sensor cook pad multiple times. You don’t need to calculate cooking time or power level.

Available weight is 0.1-6.0 lbs

NOTES: The oven will beep during the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food. Remove any portions that have thawed. Return frozen portions to the oven and touch
to resume the defrost cycle.
Operating Tips
This table shows food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.

Weight conversion table
You are probably used to measuring food in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.
If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following table to convert the weight to decimals.

NOTES: If between two decimal weights, choose the lower weight for the best defrosting results.
Auto Defrost Table
NOTE: Meat of irregular shape and large, fatty cuts of meat should have the narrow or fatty areas shielded with foil at the beginning of the defrost sequence.
