Doneness
Doneness is a function used for adjusting the cook time. This
feature can be used on automatic functions. Doneness cannot be
adjusted for Defrost functions. Doneness can be changed within
the rst 20 seconds of starting the cook cycle.
To Change Doneness Setting:
After starting the cooking cycle, press COOK TIME/POWER
repeatedly to scroll through “NORMAL,” “MORE DONE,” or “LESS
DONE”.
Sensor Cook
A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from
food as it heats and adjusts the cooking time accordingly.
Use microwave-safe dish with loose-tting lid or cover microwave-
safe dish with plastic wrap and vent.
For Best Cooking Performance:
Before using a Sensor Cook function, make sure power has been
supplied to the microwave oven for at least 2 minutes, the room
temperature is not above 95°F (35°C), and the outside of the
cooking container and the microwave oven cavity are dry.
Manual Cooking/Stage Cooking
Touch COOK TIME/POWER and touch the number keypads to
enter time. If using a cooking power other than 100%, touch
COOK TIME/POWER again, then enter desired cooking power.
Touch START.
If programming additional stages (up to three), touch CLOCK/
OPTIONS to enter programming for the next stage. Enter the cook
time and cook power of each, then touch START.
Add More Time
At the end of any cycle, “PRESS 0 TO ADD MORE TIME” scroll
in the display. Enter the addition 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.

Defrost
For optimal results, food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder when
defrosting.
Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before
defrosting.
Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the end
of the cycle for more even defrosting.
Foods left outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes or
frozen ready-made food should not be defrosted using the
Defrost feature but should be defrosted manually.
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such
as chicken wings, leg tips, and sh tails. See the “Aluminum
Foil and Metal” section rst.
