COOKING WITH MORE THAN ONE

COOK CYCLE

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 power level to another automatically, for up to 2 cycles plus a defrost cycle.

1.Put your food in the oven and close the door.

2.Set the cooking time for the first cycle.

3.Set the cook power for the first cycle.

4.Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to set the cooking time and cook power for each additional cycle.

5.Press START.

After each cycle is complete, 2 tones sound and the next cycle(s) will count down.

6. At the end of the cooking time:

The display will show “End” and 3 tones will sound.

NOTE: You can set your chosen cook functions in any order. However, when you use AUTO DEFROST, it must be the first cycle.
