Soften and Melt
The oven uses low power to soften and melt certain foods.
Soften butter and cream cheese so they will be ready to use in a
recipe. Ice cream will be softened enough to make scooping
easier. Melt items such as butter, chocolate and marshmallows
with minimal spatter. Use the following chart as a guide.
To Soften or Melt:
1. Place container of food on turntable.
2. On “Home” screen, touch “Melt”
or
touch “More Choices” and then “Soften.”
3. Select food item to be softened or melted.
4. Enter amount.
Doneness may be adjusted at this time by touching
“Doneness,” and then touching “+” or “-.”
Preparation instructions can be viewed for the specific food
by touching “Prepare.”
5. Touch “Start” or press START button.
The display will count down the Soften or Melt time.
When the cycle ends, the “End” screen will appear in the
display, 4 end-of-cycle tones will sound, and then reminder
tones will sound every minute.
When melting, foods may not be completely melted when the
program ends, but stirring the food will complete the melting.
6. Press OFF/CANCEL or open the door to clear the display
and/or stop reminder tones.
Keep Warm
