To Use the Auto Cooking Functions:
When using preset cooking powers and cook times for selected
food types (Cereals, Eggs, Frozen Food, Vegetable, Grains, Meat,
Poultry and Fish), follow the "Cook" menus to select amounts
and begin the auto function. See "Display/Touch Screen" section
for sample programming.
To Cook Manually:
1. Touch COOKTIME/POWER.
2. Turn dial to desired cook time.
If using a cooking power other than 100%, touch "Power,"
then turn dial to desired cooking power.
3. Touch START.
When the cooking cycle ends, the "End" screen will appear in
the display, 4 end-of-cycle tones will sound, and then
reminder tones will sound every minute for 15 minutes.
4. 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.

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.
