Questions and Answers

Q. When I press the START pad, I hear a dull,
thumping noise. What is it?
A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the
oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High).
Time Cook allows you to microwave for a preset
cooking time. The oven shuts off automatically.
Power level 10 (High) is recommended for most
cooking, but you may change this for more flexibility.
See the Cooking Guide.
To become better acquainted with time cooking, make
a cup of coffee by following the steps below.
Step 1: Fill a cup
2/3 full of water,
add 1 teaspoon
of instant coffee
and stir to
dissolve. Use a
cup that has no
metal decoration
section). Place cup in oven and close door.
Step
3: Select your time. For
example, touch pads 1, 3 and O
for one minute and 30 seconds.
Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?
A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention than
usual. Raise the power level after entering the time
by touching the POWER LEVEL pad and then the
desired number pad. Power level 5 (Medium) cuts
the total defrosting time approximately 1/2; power
level 10 (High) cuts the total defrosting time to
approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or stir
food frequently.
Because automatic power level 10 is recommended
for this cup of coffee, there is no need to change the
power level. (If power level 10 is not appropriate, see
"How to Change Power Level" below.)
Step 4: Touch the START
pad. Time countino down
Step 5: When time is up, the oven signals and flashes
"End," then shuts off.
Step 6: Open the door.
If you interrupt Time Cook to check the food, simply
close the door and press START to resume cooking.
If there is not time remaining on the timer you must
reset the timer to resume cooking.
