SETTING THE MICROWAVE
Add Cook Time (+30 Sec)
Pressing the START pad once starts cooking at 100%
power with 30 seconds of cooking time.
Pressing the START pad during cooking adds 30 seconds
(for each press) to the cook time at the current power level.
NOTE: The “+30sec” function is not available when using
the Defrost or any of the Preset features.
Defrost
The auto defrost feature provides you with the best
defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking guide will
show you which defrost sequence is recommended for the
food you are defrosting.
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes a built-in
beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over,
separate, or rearrange the food in order to get the best
defrost results. Three different defrosting levels are
provided: MEAT, POULTRY, and FISH.
To set automatic defrost:
1. Press Defrost until the correct food type displays.
2. Press START.
3. Use the numeric keys to enter the weight of the food in
pounds. The setting can be from 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.
4. Press START.
When the food is ready, three long tones sound, and
“FOOD READY” shows in the display.
Popcorn
The Popcorn feature lets you pop three different sizes of
commercially packaged microwave popcorn.
1. Press Popcorn until the correct popcorn amount
displays.
2. Press START.
When the food is ready, three long tones sound, and
“FOOD READY” shows in the display.
Potato
The potato feature cooks 1-4 baked potatoes automatically
(starting from room temperature).
Note: Foods with unbroken outer "skin" -- such as potatoes,
hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and
other giblets, and egg yolks -- should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.
To set the Potato feature:
1. Press Potato.
2. Press START.
When the food is ready, three long tones sound, and
“FOOD READY” shows in the display.
