Manual Operation

Heating with multiple cooking stages

For best results, some microwave recipes call for different power levels or different lengths of time for cooking. Your microwave may be set to change from one stage to another automatically (2 stages maximum).

Example: to cook food for 3 minutes at 80% power and then 50% power for 6 minutes 30 seconds:

1. Press cook time.

2.Use the number pads to enter heating time for the 1st stage (cook time may be set up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds).

3. Press power level pad once.

4.Use the number pads to enter power level for the 1st stage. PL8 appears in the display (80 % power).

5. Press cook time pad for 2nd stage.

6.Use the number pads to enter heating time for the 2nd stage (cook time may be set up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds).

7. Press power level pad for 2nd stage.

8.Use the number key to enter power level for the 2nd stage. PL5 appears in the display (50 % power).

9. Press START/+30sec pad.

When heating has finished you will hear 5 beeps and the time of day will display.

Setting weight defrost

Example: to defrost 1lb. of food with the default 30% power level with cook time determined automatically:

1. Press weight defrost pad once. 0.0 will appear in the display.

2.Use the number pads to enter weight of food to defrost in pounds. You may enter weight from 0.3 to 6.3 pounds.

3. Press START/+30sec pad.

When defrosting has finished you will hear 5 beeps and the time of day will display.

Note: The weight amount must be a valid entry for this feature to start. A valid weight entry is 0.3 to 6.3 pounds.

Setting time defrost

Example: to defrost food with the default 30% power level for 5 minutes:

1. Press time defrost pad once. 00:00 will appear in the display.

2.Use the number pads to enter desired defrost time (defrost time may be set up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds).

3. Press START/+30sec pad.

When heating has finished you will hear 5 beeps and time of day will display.

Note: Power levels can not be changed for both time defrost and weight defrost because the defrost performance will be affected.

Adding cook time (+30sec)

This time-saving feature will let you quickly add 30 seconds to any cook time already set when cooking at a 100% power level. This feature may only be used while cooking and with cook time remaining. Each press of this pad will add 30 seconds.

Example: to add 1 minute of cook time at the default power level of 100%:

Press START/+30sec pad 2 times.

Special notes for defrosting

After pressing START/+30sec key, the display will count down remaining defrost time. The oven will beep twice during the defrost cycle. At this time open the door

and turn the food if needed and remove any portions that have already thawed. Touch the START/+30sec key to resume the defrost cycle.

When heating has finished you will hear 5 beeps.
