Manual Operation
TIME COOKING
Your microwave oven can be programmed for 99 minutes 99 seconds
(99.99). Always enter the seconds after the minutes, even if they
are both zeros.
• Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 100%.
1. Enter cooking time 5,0,0.
2. Touch START pad.
TO SET POWER LEVEL
There are eleven preset power levels.
Using lower power levels increases the cooking time, which is
recommended for foods such as cheese, milk and long slow
cooking of meats. Consult cookbook or recipes for specific
recommendations.
• Suppose you want to defrost for 5 minutes at 30%.
1. Enter defrosting time 5,0,0.
2. Touch Power Level pad eight times or hold down until the
desired power level appears.
3. Touch START pad.
When the defrost time is complete, a long tone will sound and END
will appear in the display.
MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the SPEED
DEFROST or AUTO DEFROST CHART or is above or below the
limits in the AMOUNT column on the SPEED DEFROST or AUTO
DEFROST CHART, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked,
by using Power Level for 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure
found under TO SET POWER LEVEL. Estimate defrosting time
and press Power Level pad eight times for 30%.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb
is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4
minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the microwave oven periodically to remove or
separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at
the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the microwave
oven in 1 minute increments on Power Level 30% until totally
defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long
enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a
microwave-safe dish.
