Microwave Oven Cooking TIME COOKING Your Convection DrawerMicro oven can be programmed for 99 minutes 99 seconds (99.99). Always enter the seconds after the minutes, even if they are both zeros. • Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 100%. 1 Enter cooking time 5 0 0. 2 To cook at 100% power (High), touch START/ADD30-SEC pad. TO SET POWER LEVEL There are eleven preset power levels. Using lower power levels increases the cooking time, which is recommended for foods like cheese and milk and slow cooking of meats. Consult a microwave cookbook or recipes for specific recommendations. • Suppose you want to defrost for 5 minutes at 30%. 1 Enter defrost time 5 0 0. 2 Touch POWER LEVEL pad 8 times. 3 Touch START/ADD-30-SEC pad. TOUCH POWER LEVEL APPROXIMATE PAD NUMBER OF TIMES PERCENTAGE FOR DESIRED POWER OF POWER COMMON WORDS FOR POWER LEVELS POWER LEVEL x 1 100% High POWER LEVEL x 2 90% POWER LEVEL x 3 80% POWER LEVEL x 4 70% Medium High POWER LEVEL x 5 60% POWER LEVEL x 6 50% Medium POWER LEVEL x 7 40% POWER LEVEL x 8 30% Med Low/Defrost POWER LEVEL x 9 20% POWER LEVEL x 10 10% Low POWER LEVEL x 11 0% SENSOR SETTINGS Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. Sensor adjusts the cooking times and power levels for various foods and quantities. USING SENSOR SETTINGS: 1 After the Convection DrawerMicro oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using any Sensor setting. 2 Ensure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the Convection DrawerMicro oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel. 3 Sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature. 4 Any Sensor selection can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 33 for MORE OR LESS TIME ADJUSTMENT. 5 More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook. 6 During the first part of Sensor use, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the Convection DrawerMicro oven or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cycle, as the measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and cook manually. When Sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the remaining cooking/reheating time will appear. The Convection DrawerMicro oven may be opened when the remaining time appears on the display. At this time, stir or season food as desired. 7 Except for Popcorn, if Sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods, ERROR will be displayed and the microwave will turn off. 8 Check food temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually. 9 Each food has a cooking hint. Touch the TIMER/SETTINGS pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display. E 14
