Setting the controls

Be sure you understand the basics of microwave oven cooking before you Start. Start with recipes from the “Microwave Cooking Recipes and Tables” section of this book. Follow the directions carefully.

DO THIS...

1.Open the oven door by pressing the Door button on the bottom of the control panel.

4.Set the Cook Power to the desired setting from HIGH Power to DEFROST. For best results, some recipes call for lower Cook Powers. (See chart below.) The lower the Cook Power, the slower the cooking.

2.Put food in the oven. DO NOT CLOSE THE DOOR.

5.Close the door. The oven will start cooking and you will hear a fan running.

3.Set the cooking time by turning the Timer Knob clockwise. To reduce the cooking time, turn the Timer Knob counter- clockwise.

To set timer for less than

1 minute, turn timer past 1 minute then to desired time.

6.When the set time is up, the oven will shut off automatically.

COOK POWER CHART

Recipes in “Microwave Cooking Recipes and Tables” use the Cook Power settings HIGH Power or DEFROST. Recipes from other books and magazines may use different Cook Power percentages. The following chart may be helpful:

HIGH Power - 100% of full power

DEFROST - 50% of full power

To stop the oven

1.Turn the Timer Knob counterclockwise to “OFF”.

OR

2.Open the oven door. Opening the oven door stops the oven so you can stir, turn, rearrange or add ingredients to the food. Close the oven door to complete cooking. If you remove the food, set the timer to “OFF” before closing the oven door so oven will not operate.

Defrosting in your microwave oven

Use the DEFROST setting to thaw frozen food before cooking. This setting cooks at 50% of full power for the desired defrosting time.
