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 dish
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
dish 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 number
pads or else your oven will not
begin cooking.
Q. I want to cook on a power
level other than HIGH. What do
I need to do?
A. To change the power level,
touch the POWER LEVEL pad
after entering cook time. "ENTER
POWER" flashes on the display
panel. Enter new number.
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.
