Selecting Power

& Cook Time

NOTES:
1. For more than one stage cooking, repeat

steps 1 and 2 for each stage of cooking
before pressing Start Button. The maxi-
mum number of stages for cooking is 5.
When operating, two beeps will sound
between each stage. Five beeps will
sound at the end of the entire sequence.

2. When selecting P10 (HIGH) power for

the first stage, you may begin at step 2.

3. When selecting P10 (HIGH) power, the

maximum programmable time is 30 min-
utes. For other power levels, the maxi-
mum time is 90 minutes.

4. For reheating, use P10 (HIGH) for liq-

uids, P7 (MED-HIGH) for most foods and
P6 (MEDIUM) for dense foods.

5. For defrosting, use P3 (MED-LOW).

DO NOT OVER COOK. This oven requires
less time to cook than an older unit. Over
cooking will cause food to dry out and may
cause a fire. A microwave oven’s cooking
power tells you the amount of microwave
power available for cooking.
