COOK POWERCHART

Recipes in your Cookbook use Cook Power settings from HIGH to LOW. Recipes from other books and mag- azines may use different Cook Power percentages. The following chart may be helpful:

YIGH - 100% of full power UED- 70% of full power DEFROST- 50% of full power MID-LOW - 40% of full power XIW - 20% of full power

To stop the oven

1. Turn the Timer Knob counter- clockwise to “OFF”

2.E:en the oven door. Open- ing the oven door stops the oven so you can stir, turn, re- arrange or add ingredients to the food. Close the oven door to complete cooking. If you remove the food, set the timer to “OFF”before closing the oven door so oven will not operate.

Defrosting in your microwave oven

Use the DEFROST setting to thaw frozen food before cook- ing. This setting cooks at 50% of full power for the desired defrosting time. For suggested defrost times, see the chart in your Cooklng Gulde.
