COOKING BY TIME

Micro Cook I

Micro Cook allows you to microwave for a preset amount of time.

Power Level 10 (High) is recommended for most cooking, but you may change this for more flexibility. See the Cooking Guide.

To become better acquainted with time cooking, make a cup of coffee by following the steps below.

Step 1: Fill a cup 2/3 full of water,

add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee and

stir to dissolve. Use a cup that has no metal decoration and is microwave- safe (refer to

Microwaving Tips section). Place cup in oven and close door.

Because automatic Power Level 10 is recommended for this cup of coffee, there is no need to change the power level. (If Power Level 10 is not appropriate, see ‘‘How to Change Power Level’’ below.)

Step 4: Touch START.

START

Step 5: When time is up, the oven signals and flashes ‘‘End’’. The oven, light and fan shut off.

Step 6: Open the door.

If you interrupt Micro Cook to check the food, simply close the door and press START to resume cooking. If there is not time remaining on the timer you must reset the timer to resume cooking.
