Positioning Baking Tray
Baking tray can only be used with convection cooking and
broiling (on some models). To avoid damage to the microwave
oven, do not use baking tray in combination with microwave
cooking.
Place baking tray on slide rails as shown below. Push in tray to
stop position. Check that the baking tray is level.
For best cooking results, use baking tray only in the
recommended position.
Microwave Cooking Power
Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking
power to use by percent, name or number. For example,
70%=7=Medium-High.
Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested
cooking power of specific foods.
MICROWAVE COOKING POWER CHART
NOTE: A percentage of 0% is also acceptable. This will not heat
up.
To Set a Cooking Power other than 100%:
1. Touch the number keypads to set a length of time to cook.
2. Touch POWER LEVEL.
3. Using the Microwave Cooking Power chart above, enter the
corresponding number for the desired power level.
4. Touch START.
The display will count down the cook time.
When the stop time is reached, the oven will shut off
automatically and the end screen will appear on the display.
If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder
tones will sound every minute.
5. Touch CANCEL or open the door to clear the display and/or
stop reminder tones.
Doneness
Doneness is a function used for adjusting the cook time. This
feature is used on all sensor and non-sensor functions with the
exception of Manual Cooking, Popcorn, EasyConvect™, Reheat
(beverage-manual), Defrost (manual), and Steam (manual).
The 3 Doneness levels are Normal (default), More or Less and will
appear once activated on the lower text line of the upper oven
display. Doneness can be changed only before starting the cycle.
To Change Doneness Setting:
After setting a function, the Doneness setting can be changed if
desired. This can be done before or after the “START?” prompt
appears in the display. Touch the Power Level keypad repeatedly
to toggle through Doneness options of Normal, More, or Less.
Sensor Cook
The Sensor Cook function is used in Reheat (Meal), Steam
Cooking, and Popcorn.
During the Sensor Cook function a sensor automatically adjusts
for the cook time and power level.
The microwave oven display will show the “Maximum Time
Remaining” prompt and the time countdown once the sensor
identifies the cooking duration.
If the microwave oven door is opened during a sensor function
the microwave oven will turn off, and any additional operations
will be canceled.
For best cooking performance:
Before using a sensor cook function, make sure power has been
supplied to the microwave oven for at least 2 minutes, the room
temperature is not above 95°F (35°C), and the outside of the
cooking container and the microwave oven cavity are dry.
