SETTING COOK BY WEIGHT (cont’d):
Ounce weights less than 10 must be preceded by a 0. As soon as three digits are set,
display immediately shows cook time. Touch START/STOP to start oven, CODE flashes
in display as time counts down. Interior light goes on and fan sound is heard. Signal
sound after about 1/4 time. If necessary, check thin edges of meat and poultry for
shielding (ie. check for aluminum foil layer if microwaving in original packaging). After
partial cooking, oven beeps twice and stops. Interior light goes off but time remains on
the display. This stop is to prevent meat from overcooking on one side before turning
over. After turning meat over, touch START pad to resume the time on display and finish
cooking. After total cooking time, 4 long beeps sound and END appears in display. Touch
RESET or open oven door to clear END before starting another cooking function. Let
roast stand for a few minutes before carving.
CONVERTING FRACTIONS OF A POUND TO OUNCES:
Most meat packages
show weight in pounds only. Convert fractions of a pound to ounces for COOK BY
WEIGHT feature by using chart to the right.

DEFROST & ONE
STAGE COOKING
Before touching START pad, touch COOK pad, enter time using number pads and power if desired. Then touch START
pad. MEM shows on the display until oven switches (beeps twice) to COOK. See page 9 for detailed information on
Staged Cooking.
For Defrost and Two Stage Cook, follow steps above. Before touching START pad, enter two COOK programs, using a
different (usually lower) power for the second COOK. MEM shows on the display during both Defrost and first COOK
stage. Signal sounds when switching stages.
INTERRUPT DEFROSTING
(to stir food, turn it over, or provide other attention): Either touch START/STOP pad or
open the oven door. Unelapsed time will show on display; reclose the door and restart to continue. Or if no additional
defrosting is required, touching RESET pad clears the display.
SETTING COOK BY WEIGHT:
This feature is for roasting meats in the microwave. Its pre-set times and power levels
give better results than microwaving at one power only, and it is easier to microwave meat with this setting than with cook
book instructions because you do not have to calculate “minutes per pound”cooking times. As soon as you enter the code
(which tells the oven the type of meat) and the weight, the oven calculates cooking time. Meat must be defrosted and at
refrigerated temperature to correspond with the pre-set times in this code. Meat-roast weights in about the 3 to 5 pound
range microwave best, COOK BY WEIGHT code allows a setting lower than 3 lb. but no higher than 5 lb. Depending on
the code, two beeps signal an error in setting a too-high weight. “Cook by Weight” programs the oven to stop after partial
cooking, so meat won’t overcook on one side. Turn meat over, then touch START pad to continue cooking.
Touch COOK BY WEIGHT pad. Word prompt shows ENTER CODE on display. Select desired code from 1 through 3.
Door frame (open the door to review) and conversion chart above describe types of food for each code. Enter the one-digit
code by touching the correct number pad. Check weight of meat. Weight must be in pounds and ounces. If label gives
weight in pounds only, change the fraction of a pound to ounces using chart above. Enter weight. Word prompt ENTER
shows in display and 0’s show where LB and OZ should be entered. LB flashes until you enter pound(s) by touching
correct number pad. When pound(s) has been entered, LB will stop flashing and OZ will flash. As soon as all these digits
have been set, display will immediately show cook time.
Ounce weights less than 10 must be preceded by a 0. As soon as three digits are set, display immediately shows cook time.
Touch START/STOP to start oven, CODE flashes in display as time counts down. Interior light goes on and fan sound is
heard. Signal sound after about 1/4 time. If necessary, check thin edges of meat and poultry for shielding. After partial
cooking, oven beeps twice and stops. Interior light goes off but time remains on the display. Stop is to prevent meat
overcooking on one side before turning over. After turning meat over, touch START pad to resume the time on display and
finish cooking.
After total cooking time, 4 long beeps soundand END appears in display.Touch RESET oropen oven door to
clear END before startinganother cooking function.Let roast stand fewminutes before carving.
• When oven switches power levels, you may observe change in lighting intensity and/or change in blower
sound. This is normal.
