Program 1 minute of cook time at 100%. If dish becomes hot and the water stays cool, do not use the dish in the microwave oven. Microwave Oven Use For list of preset programs, see the Cooking Guide label on the front facing of the microwave oven opening, behind the door. Manual Cooking/Stage Cooking Doneness 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, then touch the Start control. 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. Warm Hold 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. WARNING Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Add More Time At the end of any cycle, "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. Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven. The Warm Hold function uses 10% cook power. Warm Hold can be used by itself or can be programmed to follow a cooking cycle. Opening the door during Warm Hold will cancel the function. 5
