OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)

• For Defrost and One Stage Cook, follow steps on previous page. Before touching START pad, touch COOK
pad, enter time using number pads and power if desired. Then touch START pad. MEM shows on the display
until oven switches (beeps twice) to COOK. See page 9 for detailed information on Staged Cooking.
• For Defrost and Two Stage Cook, follow steps on previous page. Before touching START pad, enter two
COOK programs (using different, usually lower power for the second Cook). MEM shows on the display
during both Defrost and first COOK stage. Signal sounds when switching stages.
INTERRUPT DEFROSTING
(to stir food, turn it over, or provide other attention). Either touch
START/STOP pad or open the oven door. Unelapsed time will show on the display; reclose the door and
restart to continue. Or if no additional defrosting is required, touching RESET pad clears the display of
remaining time.
SETTING COOK
BY WEIGHT
This feature is for roasting meats in the microwave. Its pre-set times and power levels give better results than
microwaving at one power only, and it is easier to microwave meat with this setting than with cookbook
instructions because you do not have to calculate “minutes per pound” cooking times. As soon as you enter the
code (which tells the oven the type of meat) and the weight, the oven calculates cooking time. Meat must be
defrosted and at refrigerated temperature to correspond with the pre-set times in this code. Meat-roast weights
in about the 3 to 5 pound range microwave best. COOK BY WEIGHT code allows a setting lower than 3lbs.
but no higher than 5lbs. Depending on the code, two beeps signal an error in setting a too-high weight. “Cook
by Weight” programs the oven to stop after partial cooking, so meat won’t overcook on one side. Turn meat
over, then touch START pad to continue cooking.
Touch COOK BY WEIGHT pad. World prompt shows ENTER CODE on display. Select desired code from 1
through 3. Door frame (open the door to review) and chart at right describe types of food for each code. Enter
the one-digit code by touching the correct number pad. Check weight of meat. Weight must be in pounds and
ounces. If label gives weight in pounds only, change the fraction of a pound to ounces using chart on page 11.
Enter weight. Word prompt ENTER shows in display and 0’s show where LB and OZ should be entered. LB
flashes until you enter pound(s) by touching correct number pad. When pound(s) has been entered, LB will
stop flashing and OZ will flash. As soon as all these digits have been set, display will immediately show cook
time.

Ounce weights less than 10 must be preceded by a 0. As soon as three digits are
set, display immediately shows cook time. Touch START/STOP to start oven,
CODE flashes in display as time counts down. Interior light goes on and fan
sound is heard. Signal sound after about 1/4 time. If necessary, check thin edges
of meat and poultry for shielding. After partial cooking, oven beeps twice and
stops. Interior light goes off but time remains on the display. Stop is to prevent
meat’s overcooking on one side before turning over. After turning meat over,
touch START pad to resume the time on display and finish cooking.
After total cooking time, 4 long beeps sound and END appears in display. Touch
RESET or open oven door to clear END before starting another cooking function.
Let roast stand few minutes before carving.
NOTE:
When oven switches power levels, you may observe change in lighting
intensity and/or change in blower sound. This is normal.
CONVERTING FRACTIONS OF A POUND TO OUNCES:
Most meat
packages show weight in pounds only. Convert fractions of a pound to ounces for
COOK BY WEIGHT feature by using chart to the right.
