Cookware and Dinnerware Turntable Turntable may be turned off for manual cooking only. This is helpful when cooking with plates that are bigger than the turntable, or when cooking with plates that are side by side. Turntable cannot be turned off during preset or sensor (on some models) functions.

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, and 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. Doneness Adjust doneness for automatic cooking functions by touching COOK TIME repeatedly to scroll through "NORMAL," "MORE DONE" or "LESS DONE" within the first 20 seconds of starting the cook cycle. Doneness cannot be adjusted for Defrost functions. 4
