Heating With Multiple Cooking Stages; Setting Weight Defrost - Frigidaire 316495002 Use & Care Manual

Heating with multiple cooking stages

For best results, some microwave recipes call for different
power levels or different lengths of time for cooking. Your
microwave may be set to change from one stage to another
automatically (2 stages maximum).
Example: to cook food for 3 minutes at 80% power and
then 50% power for 6 minutes 30 seconds:
1. Press cook time.
2. Use the number pads to enter heating time
for the 1st stage (cook time may be set up
to 99 minutes and 99 seconds).
3. Press power level pad once.
4. Use the number pads to enter power level
for the 1st stage. PL8 appears in the
display (80 % power).
5. Press cook time pad for 2nd stage.
6. Use the number pads to enter heating time
for the 2nd stage (cook time may be set up
to 99 minutes and 99 seconds).
7. Press power level pad for 2nd stage.
8. Use the number key to enter power level for
the 2nd stage. PL5 appears in the display
(50 % power).
9. Press START/+30sec pad.
When heating has finished you will hear 5 beeps and the
time of day will display.
Adding cook time (+30sec)
This time-saving feature will let you quickly add 30 seconds
to any cook time already set when cooking at a 100%
power level. This feature may only be used while cooking
and with cook time remaining. Each press of this pad will
add 30 seconds.
Example: to add 1 minute of cook time at the default
power level of 100%:
Press START/+30sec pad 2 times.
Manual Operation

Setting time defrost
Example: to defrost food with the default 30% power level
for 5 minutes:
1. Press time defrost pad once. 00:00 will
appear in the display.
