Danby DMW1104BL TWO-STAGE Cooking, Do not Touch Start PAD. SET Stage, These are Normal

C.TWO-STAGE COOKING

Two-stage cook function lets you cook a food at two different power levels with one time setting. For example, rice should be cooked in two stages. Stage 1 starts rice at 100% power for 5 minutes; stage 2 completes cooking 10-12 minutes at 50% power level.

SET STAGE 1:

Assuming 100% power, just touch number pad illustrated in “Quick and Easy” setting above for correct first stage time. (Most 2 stage recipes start with 100% power but you can also switch power levels after setting cook time.)

DO NOT TOUCH START PAD. SET STAGE 2:

Touch COOK pad then enter proper cooking time and (lower) power level. (Most 2 stage recipes use lower power for second stage.) Touch START pad. First stage of cooking begins.

MEM (memory) word prompt shows on the display during Stage 1 Cooking, indicating that the oven is remembering that a second step (stage 2) has been programmed. After Stage 1 time has elapsed, signal may be heard, signaling the beginning of Stage 2.

AFTER TOTAL TIME HAS ELAPSED, 4 long beeps sound and END appears in display. Touch RESET pad or open oven door to clear END before starting another cooking function.

THESE ARE NORMAL:

Outside of oven may feel warm. Steam may escape from oven or moisture in oven may be seen after cooking.

Change in interior light intensity, and change in blower sound when lower power setting are used. TV or radio interference (similar to interference experienced in other small appliances) may be noticed. This does not indicate a problem.

4. SETTING “SPEED DEFROST”

A.Speed Defrost automatically sets microwave oven power for quickest thawing of small to medium size foods. Speed Defrost works in conjunction with the Timer, so you must know how much time to set. Speed Defrost thawing times are usually fast enough that you stay close to oven and can attend to the food as it is defrosting. Many foods benefit from being turned over, rearranged or broken apart (if separate pieces are frozen together.) This attention makes defrosting faster and more even. “How do I know whether to set Speed Defrost or Defrost by Weight?” This is determined by the type of food being defrosted

and amount of attention that must be paid to the food. The automatic-coded Defrost by Weight requires only turn-over of the meat.

•Touch SPEED DEFROST pad.

Word prompts ENTER DEF TIME shows on the display.

•Enter desired Speed Defrost time by touching correct number pads. Digital timer sets minutes and seconds from left to right so a single digit can be set (5 for 5 seconds) or up to 4 digits (2405 for 24 minutes 5 seconds). ENTER DEF remains on the display. Touch START/STOP pad. DEF flashes on the display and defrost time begins counting down. AFTER TIME HAS ELAPSED signal sound and END appears in display. Touch RESET pad or open door to clear END before starting another cooking function.

B.To set “SPEED DEFROST” and one or two-stage cooking sequentially. After setting SPEED DEFROST, oven can be programmed to automatically switch to One or Two-Stage cook. This feature is useful for frozen, moist casseroles and similar foods which can be stirred while reconstituting. After defrosting, cook at 100% power level, then reduce to lower settings until bubbling hot. Stir occasionally to break up and redistribute heat.
