Microwave Oven Use

For list of preset programs, see the Quick Reference Guide provided with your model.

Manual Cooking/Stage Cooking

Touch COOK TIME, touch number pads to enter time, touch COOK POWER (if not 100%), touch number pads to enter power level (10-90), then touch the Start control.

If programming additional stages, enter the cook time and cook power of each before touching the Start control.

Sensor Cooking

A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from food as it heats, and adjusts the cooking time accordingly.

Make sure microwave oven has been plugged in for at least

3 minutes. Use microwave-safe dish with loose-fitting lid, or cover microwave-safe dish with plastic wrap and vent. For optimal performance, wait at least 30 minutes after convection cooking or grilling (on some models) before sensor cooking.

Add More Time

At the end of any cycle, “ADD MORE TIME 0:00” appears in the display. Enter the additional time, if desired, and start the microwave oven. The cook power and/or temperature (on models with convection) for all non-sensor cycles will be the same as in the finished cycle, but may be changed. If Add More Time is used after a sensor cycle, the cook power will be 100%, but may be changed.

Warm Hold (on some models)

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven. The Warm Hold function uses 10% cook power. Warm Hold can be used by itself or can be programmed to follow a cooking cycle. Opening the door during Warm Hold will cancel the function.
