Questions and Answers
Q. I set my oven for the time called for in the recipe, but at the end of the time allowed, my food wasn’t done. What happened?
A. Since house power varies due to time or location, many time cooking recipes give you a time range to prevent overcooking. Set the oven for minimum time, test the food for doneness, and cook your food a little longer, if necessary.
Q. I touched the number pads and selected my power level. When I touched START, however, my oven didn’t come on. Why not?
A. The TIME COOK pad must be touched before setting the number pads or else your oven will not begin cooking.
Q. I want to cook on a power level other than High. What do I need to do?
A. To change the power level, touch the POWER LEVEL pad, then touch desired number for new power level.
Q. Can I interrupt Time Cook to check the food?
A. Yes. To resume cooking, simply close the door and press the START pad. The timer must be reset for cooking to resume unless time is remaining on timer.
