5. 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 over-
cook on one side. Turn meat over, then touch
START pad to continue cooking.
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.
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 cor-
rect 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 preced-
ed 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 pre-
vent 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.
When oven switches power levels, you may
observe change in lighting intensity and/or
change in blower sound. This is normal.
