TIME COOKING

Your microwave oven can be programmed for 99 minutes
and 99 seconds (99.99). Always enter the seconds after
the minutes, even if they are both zeros.
• Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 100%.
PROCEDURE
1. Enter cooking time.
2. Touch Start/Touch On pad.

TO SET POWER LEVEL

There are eleven preset power levels.
Using lower power levels increases the cooking time which
is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk and long
slow cooking of meats. Consult cookbook or recipes for
specific recommendations.

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
Super Defrost and Auto Charts or is above or below the
limits in the "Amount" column on the Super Defrost
and Auto Defrost Charts (pages 24 and 25), you need to
defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 4-step
procedure found under To Set Power Level. Estimate
defrosting time and press Power Level eight times for
30% power.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the
rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound.
For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen
spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the microwave oven periodically to remove
or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not
defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time,
program the microwave oven in 1 minute increments at
30% until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost
only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to
place in a microwave-safe dish.
