Time Cooking is a familiar method
of cooking food for a predeter-
mined length of time. You will find
that cooking with microwave
energy takes a great deal less time
than conventional cooking
methods. And your microwave
oven, unlike many other ovens,
turns itself off automatically after
the preset time has elapsed.
You can
even program your oven to
Time Cook in two stages! Cook at
one power level for a desired length
of time; then the oven automati-
cally changes to a different power
level and continues cooking until
the food is done. Check the Cook-
book for foods requiring two power
levels.
Setting
the Oven Controls
Step 1: Touch TIME COOK. The
time of day disappears from the
display and "Enter Cook Time"

Questions and Answers
Q. While cooking, I wished to
change the cooking time and I
touched CLEAR/OFF.
I then tried
to
set the
oven to
microwave again
and nothing happened. Why?
A. Touching CLEAR/OFF
once
only stops the oven just like open-
ing the door. You must touch the
CLEAR/ OFF Pad twice to clear
the oven program and set a new
one.
Q. I touched the number pads to
enter cooking time but nothing
happened. Why?
A. The TIME COOK pad must be
touched before setting the number
pads or the oven will not accept the
number entries.
Q. After I touched TIME COOK
the display flashed "Prob". Why?
A. "Prob" will flash on the display
if the temperature
probe has been
left in the oven. Remove the probe
and touch TIME COOK again.
Q. I set my oven to TIME COOK
for the period in the recipe, but the
food wasn't done at the end of that
time. What happened?
A. Since house electrical power
may vary, many Time Cook recipes
give you a time range to prevent
overcooking.
Set the oven for the
minimum time, test the food for
doneness, and cook a little longer
if necessary.
