When the cook time is over, you will hear four beeps and END will display. Note: If the oven is set to cook for more than 25 minutes, it will automatically adjust itself to 70 percent power after 25 minutes to avoid overcooking. COOKING AT LOWER POWER LEVELS HIGH power cooking does not always give you the best results with foods that need slower cooking, such as roasts, baked goods, or custards.

Touch ENTER/ START pad. When the cook time is over, you will hear four beeps and END will display. See cooking guide for Power levels, page 11.

Enter the second cook time. 5. Touch POWER LEVEL pad. 6. Enter the power level. 7. Touch ENTER/ START pad. When the cook time is over, you will hear four beeps and END will display. 10
