Microwave Oven Use

For list of preset programs, see the Quick Reference Guide provided with your model.

Manual Cooking/Stage Cooking

Touch COOK TIME/POWER, touch number pads to enter time, touch COOK TIME/POWER again (if not 100%), touch number pads to enter power level (10-90), and then touch the Start control.

If programming additional stages (up to three), touch SETUP/CLOCK to enter programming for the next stage, enter the cook time and cook power of each, and 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-fitting 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 using less than 100% cook power, “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 finished 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/POWER repeatedly to scroll through “NORMAL,” “MORE DONE” or “LESS DONE” within the first 20 seconds of starting the cook cycle. Doneness cannot be adjusted for Defrost functions.

Keep Warm

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.

Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven. The Keep Warm function uses 10% cook power. Keep Warm can be used by itself or can be programmed to follow a cooking cycle. Opening the door during Keep Warm will cancel the function.
