To Use:
1. Place food on the turntable and close the door.
2. Touch COOK TIME/POWER.
3. Turn dial to desired cook time.
If using a cooking power other than 100%, touch "Power,"
then turn dial to desired cooking power.
4. Touch START.
When the cycle ends, the "End" screen will appear in the
display, and the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by
reminder tones.
5. Touch STOP/CLEAR or open the door to stop reminder tones.
To Change Cook Time or Power During a Cooking Cycle:
Cook time and/or power may be changed after cooking begins
without interrupting cooking.
1. Touch "Time" or "Power."
2. Turn dial to select new time or power.
3. Touch START.
A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from
the food as it heats, and adjusts the cook time accordingly. The
progress bar appears during sensing (see "Progress Bar"
section).
Many sensor cycles require the covering of foods. Microwave-
safe containers or steamers with loose-fitting lids are
recommended. The loose-fitting lid allows enough steam to
escape to be detected by the sensor. When covering foods with
plastic wrap, be sure to leave a large enough vent opening to
allow the steam to escape.
NOTES:
• The microwave oven should be plugged in for at least
3 minutes.
• The microwave oven cavity and the exterior of the cooking
container should be dry.
• The room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).
• If the door is opened during a sensor cycle, sensing will stop
and the program will be canceled.
For many cooking functions, the screen displays a "Doneness"
bar which can be adjusted by touching "+" or "-" or turning the
dial. For most foods, the maximum and minimum doneness
settings add to, or subtract from normal cook time.
For Defrost, the controlled percentage depends on food type and
weight.
When doneness has been set for a specific food, the "Doneness"
bar remembers that setting, and will remain at that setting for all
future cooking cycles of that specific food, until it is reset.
REMEMBER: Doneness control for Poultry, Pork, Fish,
Hamburger and Steak can be set for no less than the default
doneness.
For many cooking functions, the "Prepare" screen is available.
Touch "Prepare" for preparation instructions, as well as additional
information about the food item, cookware, etc.
