When the cooking time ends, “End”will show on the Display and 4 tones will sound. (You can stop the tones by opening the door or by touching CANCEL.) “End”will remain on the Display and a reminder tone will sound every 30 seconds (to remind you that food is left in the oven) until the door is opened or CANCEL is touched. The Display will then show the time of day.

For best results, some recipes call for lower Cook Powers. The lower the Cook Power, the slower the cooking. Each Number Pad also stands for a different percentage of Cook Power. Many recipes in the Cooking Guide tell you, by number, which Cook Power to use. Recipes in other books and magazines may tell you by name (HI, MED, LO, etc.) or percentage (lo%, 50%, 80%, etc.).
The following chart gives the percentage of Cook Power each Number Pad stands for, and Cook Power name usually used:
automatic 100% of full power HIGH 9=90% of full power
8=80% of full power
7=70% of full power
5=50% of full power MED 4=40% of full power
3=30% of full power
1=lO% of full power LOW O=TIMER (fan and light will be off)
