Convection Rack

Use the short convection rack for convection cycles (baking or
roasting). Place cookware directly on rack for bake and for some roast
functions. Some roast functions require that the food be placed
directly on the rack. Use a microwave-safe, ovenproof dish or pan
under the rack to catch the drippings.

Microwave Oven Use

For list of preset programs, see the Quick Reference Guide provided with your model.
Manual Cooking/Stage Cooking
Touch COOK TIME, touch number pads to enter time, touch
COOK POWER (if not 100%), touch number pads to enter power level
(10-90), then touch the Start control.
If programming additional stages (up to three), touch OPTIONS/
CLOCK to enter programming for the next stage, then enter the cook
time and cook power of each, then touch the Start control.

Sensor Cooking

A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from food
as it heats, and adjusts the cooking time accordingly.
Make sure microwave oven has been plugged in for at least 1 minute.
Use microwave-safe dish with loose-fitting lid, or cover microwave-
safe dish with plastic wrap and vent. For optimal performance, wait at
least 30 minutes after convection cooking or grilling (on some models)
before sensor cooking.
Add More Time
At the end of any cycle using less than 100% cook power, "PRESS 0
TO ADD MORE TIME" scrolls in the display. Enter the additional time, if
desired, and start the microwave oven. The cook power for all non-
sensor cycles will be the same as in the finished cycle, but may be
changed. If Add More Time is used after a sensor cycle, the cook
power will be 100%, but may be changed.
