MANUAL COOKING MICROWAVE Manual Microwave has 2 functions: microwave cooking and keep warm. NOTES: 1. After cooking, the display may show "Now cooling". The oven will automatically cool and you will hear the sound of the cooling fan. The fan may continue to operate up to 13 minutes depending on the oven and parts temperature. 2. Do not use the baking tray and metal racks. 2 Turn the Dial to enter defrosting time 5 minutes and press Enter. 3 Turn the Dial to select power level 30%. 4 Press START. MICROWAVE TIME COOKING * Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 100% power level. PROCEDURE 1 Press Microwave, turn the Dial to select MANUAL and press Enter. 2 Turn the Dial to enter the desired cooking time 5 minutes and press START. TO SET POWER LEVEL There are eleven preset power levels. Using lower power levels increases the cooking time which is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk and long slow cooking of meats. Consult a microwave cookbook or recipes for specific recommendations. POWER LEVEL CHART APPROXIMATE PERCENTAGE OF POWER 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% COMMON WORDS FOR POWER LEVELS High Medium High Medium Med Low / Defrost Low * Suppose you want to defrost for 5 minutes at 30% power level. PROCEDURE MANUAL DEFROST If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the "Amount" column on the DEFROST CHART on page 25, you need to defrost manually. You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power Level 30%. Follow the exact 4-step procedure found under MICROWAVE TIME COOKING, TO SET POWER LEVEL. Estimate defrosting time and select 30% when you select the power level. For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce. Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on Power Level 30% until totally defrosted. When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish. KEEP WARM Use Keep Warm to keep food at serving temperature. * Suppose you want to keep a cup of soup warm for 15 minutes. PROCEDURE 1 Press Microwave, turn the Dial to select KEEP WARM and press Enter. 2 Turn the Dial to enter the desired keep warm time 15 minutes and press START. 1 Press Microwave, turn the Dial to select MANUAL and press Enter. 32
