Cooking in stages

Using Your Microwave Oven

For best results, some recipes call for one cook power for a certain length of time, and another cook power for another length of time. Your oven can be set to change from one to another automatically, for up to 3 stages.

You can set your chosen cook functions in any order. However, if you use CUSTOM DEFROST it must be the first stage.
