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
2/3 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 TIME COOK
Step 3: Select your time. Touch
pads 1, 3 and O for one minute
and 30 seconds.
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 the START pad.
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 Time 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.
How to Change Power Level
After setting cooking time, touch POWER
LEVEL pad, then touch desired number for new
power level. Then touch START.
