Questions and Answers
Q.
I set my oven for the time
called for in the recipe, but at the
end of the time allowed, my food
wasn't done. What happened?
A. Since house power varies due to
time or location, many recipes give
you a time range to prevent
overcooking. Set the oven for the
minimum time given, test the food
for doneness, and cook your food a
little longer, if necessary.
Q. I touched the number pads
and selected my power level.
When I touched the START pad,
however, my oven didn't come on.
Why not?
A. Before setting the time on the
number pads, touch the TIME
COOK pad. Otherwise your oven
will not begin cooking.
Q. I want to cook on a power
do I need to do?
A. To cook on a power level other
than High, first touch the TIME
COOK pad and set the desired
cooking time. Touch the POWER
LEVEL pad. "POWER 10" appears
on the display. Enter new power level
number and touch the START pad.
Q. Can I interrupt my Time
Cook function to check the food?
A. Yes. To resume cooking,
simply close the door and press
the START pad. The timer must be
reset for cooking to resume unless
