The Micro Cook II feature lets you set 2 time cooking
functions within one program. This is ideal if you
want to change power levels during your cooking
operations. Here’s how to do it.

Step 1: Place the food in the oven in a microwave-
safe container and close the door.

Step 2: Touch MICRO COOK. 

Step 3: Select your first cook time. For example,
touch 2, 1 and 5 for 2 minutes and 15 seconds.

Step 4: Now is the time to change the power level if
you don’t want full power for MICRO COOK. (Press
POWER LEVEL. Select desired power level 1–10.)

Step 5: Touch MICRO COOK again.

Step 6: Set your second cook time.

Step 7: Change the power level for MICRO 
COOK. (Press POWER LEVEL. Select desired 
power level 1–10.)

Step 8: Press START.

The microwave oven will start and the time set for
“COOK TIME I” will count down. Also, “POWER
10” or the power level selected for “COOK TIME I”
will be displayed.

At the end of “COOK TIME I”, the second power
level is displayed and the time for “COOK TIME II”
is shown counting down.

When time is up, the oven signals and flashes “End”.
The oven, light and fan shut off. Open the door.

If you interrupt Micro Cook to check the food, simply
close the door and press START to resume cooking. 
If there is no time remaining on the timer you must
reset the timer to resume cooking.

COOKING BY TIME

Micro Cook I

Micro Cook allows you to microwave for a preset
amount of time.

Power Level 10 (High) is recommended for most
cooking, but you may change this for more flexibility.
See the Cooking Guide.

To become better acquainted with time cooking, make
a cup of coffee by following the steps below.

Step 1: Fill a cup 
2/3 full of water,
add 1 teaspoon of
instant coffee and
stir to dissolve. 
Use a cup that has
no metal decoration
and is microwave-
safe (refer to
Microwaving Tips section). 
Place cup in oven and close door.

Step 2: Touch MICRO COOK.

Step 3: Select your time. Touch pads 1, 0 and 0 for 
1 minute.

Because automatic Power Level 10 is recommended
for this cup of coffee, there is no need to change the
power level. (If Power Level 10 is not appropriate, 
see ‘‘How to Change Power Level’’ below.)

Step 4: Touch START.

Step 5: When time is up, the oven signals and flashes
‘‘End’’. The oven, light and fan shut off.

Step 6: Open the door.

If you interrupt Micro Cook to check the food, simply
close the door and press START to resume cooking. 
If there is not time remaining on the timer you must
reset the timer to resume cooking.
