"HI'POWER COOKING
"HI" gives highest power and is a recommended setting for cooking foods with high moisture content or for foods that need fast cooking to keep natural flavor and texture, Your Kenmore Microwave Cookbook will tell you which foods are cooked best using highest microwave power or "HI". For detailed directions on "HI" (max power) cooking, see page 12.

After reaching the set temperature the Oven switches into Hold Warm to keep the food at the chosen temperature.
"Hold" will show in the Display Window and continue for up to 60 minutes or until the Door is opened or STOP is touched. See pages !8 and 19.
TWO-STAGE COOKING
Some recipes need more than one cooking stage. Many foods will cook better when done fora period of time at one power setting and then cook for another period at a different power setting. With a cake, for example, the Cookbook rnay recommend cooking at the 60 (BAKE) setting followed by a period of cooking at the _'HI" setting, BAKE allows the cake to rise gently and then _'HI" finishes the cooking. You can set both stages at the beginning, start the oven, and the oven will change into the second stage at the preset time.
