The microwave oven can be set to cook at different cooking powers for various lengths of time, up to 3 stages, plus a Defrost cycle. Cook settings can be used in any order, except Defrost, which must be the first stage.

Sensor cooking cannot be done in stages.

To Cook in Stages:

1.Place food on the turntable, and close the door.

2.Touch MIN or SEC "up" or "down" arrow pads to set cooking time for first stage.

3.Touch TEMP/POWER "up" or "down" arrow pads to set cook power for 1st stage.

4.Touch MICRO pad.

5.Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the cooking time and cook power for each additional stage.

6.Touch START/ENTER.

When the cycle ends, "END" will appear in the display, and the end-of-cycle tones will sound.

7.Touch OFF/CANCEL or open the door to clear the display.

A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from the food as it heats, and adjusts the cook time accordingly.

Many sensor cycles require the covering of foods. Microwave- safe containers or steamers with loose-fitting lids are recommended. The loose-fitting lid allows enough steam to escape to be detected by the sensor. When covering foods with plastic wrap, be sure to leave a large enough vent opening to allow the steam to escape.

NOTES:

•The microwave oven should be plugged in for at least 3 minutes.

•The microwave oven cavity and the exterior of the cooking container should be dry.

•The room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).

•If the door is opened during a sensor cycle, sensing will stop and the program will be canceled.

A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from the food and automatically sets a cooking time based on the selected pad.

Use the following chart as a guide.

NOTE: When covering foods, make sure the vent opening is large enough for moisture to escape. This will allow the sensor to accurately determine cooking time.

To Use SENSOR COOK:

1.Place food on the turntable, and close the door.

2.Touch SENSOR COOK until the desired food type is displayed.

The microwave oven will automatically turn on after a brief delay.

When the cycle ends, "END" will appear in the display, and the end-of-cycle tones will sound.
