Program Cooking
Use your Touch Control Panel to Auto Cook, Auto Roast, Auto Reheat and Auto Defrost—with the oven setting the power levels and cooking or heating times; to Temp Cook & Hold, using your choice of temperature; to Time Cook or Time Defrost, using your choice of power levels from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest); to heat foods for 30 seconds using Add 30 Seconds; to set the clock; and to time kitchen tasks with the Min/Sec Timer.
Create your own programs to suit your individual cooking style. For example: program a hold time between Time Defrost and Time Cook I & 11; set Time Cook I & 11 for a two-stage program using different times and power levels; or use the Min/Sec Timer to delay the start of a cooking function, such as Temp Cook & Hold.
