SETTING THE MICROWAVE
Quick Start
Microwave heating or cooking may be quickly set at 100%
power level for 1 -9 minutes. Use the number keys 1-9 to
choose the desired minutes of cook time (this option will
only work using the 1-9 numeric pads.)
Press the number pad key for the desired number of
minutes. The microwave will start a couple of seconds later.
When the time runs out, three long tones sound, and
“FOOD READY” shows in the display.
Timed Heating
1. Use the number pad to enter the time in minutes and
seconds. For example, to heat for 5 minutes and 30
seconds, enter 5 3 0.
Note: For time sets that start with numbers 1 - 9, the
remaining numbers must be entered within 2 second
from the first key press, otherwise the Quick Start time
will be used.
2. Press START.
When the time runs out, three long tones sound, and
“FOOD READY” shows in the display.
Timer
1. Press Timer On-Off.
2. Use the number pad to enter the time in minutes and
seconds. For example, to heat for 5 minutes and 30
seconds, enter 5 3 0.
3. Press Timer On-Off.
The timer will start counting down. The microwave does not
cook when just the timer is running. When the time runs out,
three long tones sound.
Setting Power Level
Using the highest power level to heat foods does not always
give the best results when some types of food need slower
cooking, such as roasts, baked goods, or custards. Your
oven has ten other power levels you may choose.
To set to cook at a lower power level:
1. Use the number pad to enter the time in minutes and
seconds. For example, to heat for 5 minutes and 30
seconds, enter 5 3 0.
Note: For time sets that start with numbers 1 - 9, the
remaining numbers must be entered within 2 second
from the first key press, otherwise the Quick Start time
will be used.
2. Press the Power Level pad until the desired level
displays. For example, press once for high power (PL-
HI). Press Power Level four times to change to 70%
power (PL-70). The selected power level appears in the
display.
3. Press START.
When the time runs out, three long tones sound, and
“FOOD READY” shows in the display.
Multi-Stage Cooking
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).
1. Use the number pads to enter the time for the first
stage.
2. Press Power Level until the desired power for the first
stage is shown.
1. Use the number pads to enter the time for the second
stage.
2. Press Power Level until the desired power for the
second stage is shown.
3. Press START.
The display will show the time remaining in the first cooking
stage. Three series of beeps will sound when the second
cooking stage starts, and the display will show the time
remaining for the second stage.
When the second stage time runs out, three long tones
sound, and “FOOD READY” shows in the display.
