Note
Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.
Using the microwave setting cooking times & Power levels
Your oven allows you to set up three different stages of cooking, each with its own time length and power level. The power level lets you control the heating intensity from Warm (1) to High (10/Power level).
Cooking at high power levels
Example: To cook food for 8 minutes 30 seconds at 100% power..
1Enter the cook time.
2Touch ENTER/ START pad.
When the cook time is over, you will hear four beeps and End will display.
Cooking at lower power levels
HIGH power cooking does not always give you the best results with foods that need slower cooking, such as roasts, baked goods, or custards. Your oven has 9 power settings in addition to HIGH.
Example: To cook food for 7 minutes 30 seconds at 70% power..
1Enter the cook time.
2Touch Power Level pad.
3Enter the power level.
4Touch ENTER/ START pad.
When the cook time is over, you will hear four beeps and End will display.
