Setting Cooking Times & Power Levels

Your microwave allows you to set up to two different 
stages of cooking, each with its own time and power 
level.  The power level lets you control the heating 
intensity from Warm (1) to High (0).

One-stage Cooking 

For simple one-stage cooking, you only need to set a 
cooking time. The power level is automatically set at 
High. If you want the power set at any other level, 
you must use the 

Power Level

 button.

1

Use the 

number

 buttons to set a cooking time. 

You can set a time from one second to 99 
minutes, 99 seconds.  To set a time over one 
minute, enter the seconds as well.  For 
example, to set 20 minutes, enter 2, 0, 0, 0 .

2

If you want to set the power level to 
something other than High, press the 

Power 

Level

 button, then use the number buttons to 

enter a power level.  

Power Levels:

1 = warm

6 = simmer

2 = low

7 = medium high

3 = defrost

8 = reheat

4 = medium low

9 = sauté

5 = medium

0 = high

The display shows “PRESS START OR ENTER NEXT 
STAGE COOKING TIME”

3

Press the 

Start 

button to begin cooking.  

If you want to change the power level, 

press 

Pause/Cancel

 before you press 

Start

and re-enter all of the instructions.

Multi-stage Cooking

Some recipes require different stages of cooking at 
different temperatures.  You can set multiple stages 
of cooking with your microwave. 
When convection is set with microwave cooking, the 
convection is always followed after microwave 
cooking.

1

Follow steps 1 and 2 in the “One-Stage 
Cooking” section on this page.  The display 
shows “PRESS START OR ENTER NEXT 
STAGE”.

When entering more than one cooking stage, the 

Power Level 

button must be pressed before the 

second cooking stage can be entered. 
To set the power level at High for a stage of 
cooking, press the

 Power Level 

button twice.  

2

Use the 

Number

 buttons to set a second 

cooking time.

Press the 

Power Level 

button, then use the 

number buttons to set the power level of the 
second stage of cooking.  The display shows 
“PRESS START ”.
