For most automatic cooking functions, the doneness of a particular food item can be adjusted by turning the dial. Increasing or decreasing the doneness adds time to, or subtracts time from the cooking cycle.

For up to 20 seconds after cooking has started, turning the dial will change the doneness value. There are 5 settings: default, “2,” “1,” “-1” and “-2.” The display shows “----” for the default

setting.

Doneness cannot be adjusted for Defrost functions or for the Popcorn function.

Doneness cannot be decreased for Boneless Chicken Breasts function.
