Your microwave oven can be set to pause between COOK I and COOK 2, between AUTO SET and a following cycle, between QUICK DEFROST and a following cycle (except COOK l), or during QUICK DEFROST.

This gives you time to stir (casseroles), turn over (meat) or rearrange (potatoes) food, or to add ingredients. PAUSE is not available between any cycle and KEEP WARM or after QUICK DEFROST.
