Cook CodeTU Control is a short-cut method for en-
tering time and the Power Level on your microwave
oven. Cooking Codes are only used for recipes
which need little or no attention, and which require
no change of power level during cooking. Recipes
which require additional ingredients, attention or
change of power level during microwaving should
be cooked in the usual manner. Also, recipes with
cooking time of less than one minute or more than
99 minutes can not use Cooking Codes.
To understand the Cook Code control, it is impor-
tant to know what the numbers mean and what the
sequence is. The first and second numbers, if set-
ting a 3 digit Cooking Code, indicate the amount of
time you desire; the last control entry number is
always the Power Level. For example, 125 means
12 minutes at Power Level 5. NC)TE:Your oven can
only be programmed to 99 minutes when using the
Cook Code control and the highest Power Level is
10 which is represented by "O". When setting a
2 digit Cook Code'control entry, the first is time, the
second is power level. For example, 50 means
5 minutes at Power level 10.
On the following page is shown many frequently
prepared foods and their codes. It's easy, though,
to make Cooking Codes for many other recipes.
Just select one or two digits representingthe length
of cooking time desired, and a final digit for the
Power Level required. The Cooking Codes given on
the chart are for the minimum time needed,to avoid
overcooking which can dry out food and make it
tastelessand tough. If you feel that more cooking is
needed, add additional time by changing the first
digit of the Code. You cannot add seconds to the
cycle time—Cooking Codes are for whole minutes
only. If your recipe calls for Power Levelchangesor
different amounts of time needed between addition
of ingredients, you may set one Cooking Code for
the first part of the recipe, then after completion, set
another Cooking Code for that period of time and
Power Level.
Remembet that Cooking Codes are for micro-
waving by time only. If you are microwaving by
temperature, you must use the Temp Cook or Auto
Roastfunction.
