IMPORTANT:
To avoid damge to the oven, DO NOT store
or use the wire rack in this oven unless more
than one item is being cooked or a recipe
calls for it.
NOTE:
If the oven is set to cook for more than 20
minutes, it will automatically adjust itself to
70 percent power after 20 minutes to avoid
overcooking.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Multi - stage cooking

For best results, some recipes call for one
Power Level for a certain length of time, and
another Power Level for another length of time.
Your oven can be set to automatically change
from one power level to another for two
cooking stages, or for three stages.
Example: To cook food for 3 minutes at 90% power
and then 70% power for 7 minutes 30 seconds.
1. Enter the cook time.
2. Touch POWER LEVEL pad.
3. Enter the power level.
4. Enter the second cook time.
5. Touch POWER LEVEL pad.
6. Enter the power level.
7. Touch START pad.
When the cook time is over, you will hear four
beeps and END will display.
NOTE:
You can set the second cook cycle to 0 power
to conveniently establish a period of standing
time within the oven.
