Microwave Oven Use
For list of preset programs, see the Quick Reference Guide provided with your model.
Manual Cooking/Stage Cooking
Touch COOK TIME, touch number pads to enter time, touch
COOK POWER (if not 100%), touch number pads to enter
power level (10-90), then touch the Start control.
If programming additional stages (up to three), touch OPTIONS/
CLOCK to enter programming for the next stage, then enter
the cook time and cook power of each, then touch the Start
control.
Sensor Cooking
A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from
food as it heats, and adjusts the cooking time accordingly.
Make sure microwave oven has been plugged in for at least
1 minute. Use microwave-safe dish with loose-tting lid,
or cover microwave-safe dish with plastic wrap and vent.
For optimal performance, wait at least 30 minutes after
convection cooking or grilling (on some models)
before sensor cooking.
Add More Time
At the end of any cycle, “PRESS 0 TO ADD MORE TIME”
scrolls in the display. Enter the additional time, if desired,
and start the microwave oven. The cook power for all
non-sensor cycles will be the same as in the nished cycle,
but may be changed. If Add More Time is used after a sensor
cycle, the cook power will be 100%, but may be changed.
Doneness
Adjust doneness for automatic cooking functions by touching
COOK TIME repeatedly to scroll through “NORMAL,” “MORE
DONE” or “LESS DONE” within the rst 20 seconds of starting
the cook cycle. Doneness cannot be adjusted for Defrost
functions.
Warm Hold
Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven.
The Warm Hold function uses 10% cook power. Warm Hold
can be used by itself or can be programmed to follow a
cooking cycle. Opening the door during Warm Hold will cancel
the function.
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
