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 Time
Cook recipes give you a time range
to prevent overcooking. Set the
oven for minimum time, 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 START, however, my
oven didn't come on. Why not?
A. The TIME COOK I & II pad
must be touched before setting the
number pads or else your oven will
not begin cooking.
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
time is remaining on timer.
