5.SETTING COOK BY WEIGHT“

This feature is for roasting meats in the microwave. Its pre-set times and power levels give better results than microwaving at one power only, and it is easier to microwave meat with this setting than with cookbook instructions because you do not have to calculate “minutes per pound” cooking times. As soon as you enter the code (which tells the oven the type of meat) and the weight, the oven calculates cooking time. Meat must be defrosted and at refrigerated temperature to correspond with the pre-set times in this code. Meat-roast weights in about the 3 to 5 pound range microwave best, COOK BY WEIGHT code allows a setting lower than 3 lb. but no higher than 5 lb. Depending on code, two beeps signal an error in setting a too-high weight. “Cook by Weight” programs the oven to stop after partial cooking, so meat won’t overcook on one side. Turn meat over, then touch START pad to continue cooking.

•Touch CCOK BY WEIGHT pad. World prompt shows ENTER CODE on display.

•Select desired code from 1 through 3. Door frame (open the door to review) and chart at right describe types of food for each code.

•Enter the one-digit code by touching the correct number pad.

•Check weight of meat. Weight must be in pounds and ounces. If label gives weight in pounds only, change the fraction of a pound to ounces using chart on page 11.

•Enter weight. Word prompt ENTER shows in display and 0’s show where LB and OZ should be entered. LB flashes until you enter pound(s) by touching correct number pad. When pound(s) has been entered, LB will stop flashing and OZ will flash. As soon as all these digits have been set, display will immediately show cook time. Ounce weights less than 10 must be preceded by a 0. As soon as three digits are set, display immediately shows cook time.

•Touch START/STOP to start oven, CODE flashes in display as time counts down. Interior light goes on and fan sound is heard. Signal sound after about 1/4 time. If necessary, check thin edges of meat and poultry for shielding.

•After partial cooking, oven beeps twice and stops. Interior light goes off but time remains on the display. Stop is to prevent meat’s overcooking on one side before turning over. After turning meat over, touch START pad to resume the time on display and finish cooking.

•After total cooking time, 4 long beeps sound and END appears in display. Touch RESET or open oven door to clear END before starting another cooking function. Let roast stand few minutes before carving.

When oven switches power levels, you may observe change in lighting intensity and/or change in blower sound. This is normal.
