MANUAL COOKING
MICROWAVE
Manual Microwave has 2 functions: microwave cooking
and keep warm.
NOTES:
1. After cooking, the display may show "Now cooling".
The oven will automatically cool and you will hear the
sound of the cooling fan. The fan may continue to
operate up to 13 minutes depending on the oven and
parts temperature.
2. Do not use the baking tray and metal racks.

MICROWAVE TIME COOKING

*Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 100%
power level.
PROCEDURE
1
Turn the Dial to enter the
desired cooking time 5
minutes and press
START.
2
Press Microwave, turn
the Dial to select
MANUAL and press
Enter.

TO SET POWER LEVEL

There are eleven preset power levels.
Using lower power levels increases the cooking time
which is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk
and long slow cooking of meats. Consult a microwave
cookbook or recipes for specific recommendations.
MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in
the "Amount" column on the DEFROST CHART on page
25, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power Level 30%.
Follow the exact 4-step procedure found under
MICROWAVE TIME COOKING, TO SET POWER
LEVEL.
Estimate defrosting time and select 30% when you
select the power level.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule
of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For
example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen
spaghetti sauce. Always stop the oven periodically to
remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If
food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated
defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute
increments on Power Level 30% until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost
only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to
place in a microwave-safe dish.

KEEP WARM

Use Keep Warm to keep food at serving temperature.
*Suppose you want to keep a cup of soup warm for 15
minutes.
