Some recipes need more than one cooking stage. Many food will cook better when cooked for a period of time at

•one power setting and-then'cooked for another period of time at a different power setting. With a cake, for example, the cookbook may recommend cooking at the "60 (Bake)" setting, followed by a period of cooking time at the "HI" setting. "Bake" allows .the cake to rise gently, and then "HI" finishes the cooking cycle..You can preset up to four stages at the beginning, start the oven, and then the oven will change ,automatically into the second stage at th_ preset time. "Two, Three or Four-Stage Cooking" with_oth TIME and TEMP CONTROL can also be set. For detailed directions on "Two, Three or Four- Stage Cooking", see Pages 27 and 28.

to a preset temperature using maximum speed. Follow the directions on page 25 and you will be able to preset the

temperature you desire with the aid of the Temperature Control Cooking Guide.

the display window and will continue to show for up to

t00 minutes or until the door has been opened or STOP

has been touched. See Page 18.
