Cooking By Time; Questions And Answers - GE JE690T Use & Care Manual

Cooking by Time

Time Cook allows you to
microwave for a selected
amount of time.
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 and is
microwave-safe (refer to
Microwaving Tips in the Safety
Instructions section). Place cup in
oven and close door.
Touch TIME COOK pad
Step 2:
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 START.
Step 5: When time is up, the oven
signals and flashes "End." Oven,
light and fan shut off.
Step 6: Open the door.
How to Change Power Level
After setting cooking time,
touch POWER LEVEL pad,
then touch desired number for
new power level.

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
was not 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 the 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 pad must be
touched before setting the power
level otherwise your oven will not
begin cooking,
Q. I want to cook on a power
level other than 10 (High). What
do I need to do?
A. To change power level, touch
the POWER LEVEL pad, then
touch desired number for new
power level.
Q. Can I interrupt Time Cook
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.
