MANUAL COOKING

Time Cooking

Your Over Range Microwave 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, 30 seconds at 100% power

Using One Touch Start

• This is a time saving pad that will automatically start cooking 2 seconds after selected. Numeric key 1-9 can be touched for 1-9 minute to start cooking feature

Using Add 30 Sec.

This is a time-saving pad. It is a simplified feature that lets you quickly set and start microwave cooking at 100% power

• Suppose you want to cook for one minute.

Setting Two-Stage Cooking

For best results , some recipes call for different power levels during a cook cycle . You can program your oven for two power level stages during the cooking cycle.

• Suppose you want to set a 2-stage cook cycle. The first stage is a 3 minute cook time at 80% cook power then a 7 minute cook time at 50% cook power.

Using the Rack

• The rack allows several foods to be cooked or reheated at one time. However, for the best cooking and reheating, use Turntable ON function and cook with SENSOR COOKING or AUTO COOKING without the rack. When the rack is used, set time and power level manually. Allow plenty of space around and between the dishes. Pay close attention to the cooking and reheating progress.
• Reposition the foods and reverse them from the rack to turntable and/or stir them at least once during any cooking or reheating time. After cooking or reheating, stir if possible. Using a lower power level will assist in better cooking and reheating uniformity.
• Avoid:
  • Storing the rack in the microwave oven when not in use.
  • Popping popcorn with the rack in the microwave oven.
  • Using any browning dish on the rack.
  • Using SENSOR COOKING and AUTO COOKING with the rack.
  • Cooking directly on the rack—use microwave-safe cookware.

Operating Tips

• For best results, remove fish, shell fish, meat and poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
• For best results, roll your ground meat into a ball before freezing. During the DEFROST cycle, the microwave will signal when it is time to turn themeat over. Scrape off any excess frost fromthe meat and continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings. This table shows food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.

Auto Defrost Table

• NOTE: Meat of irregular shape and large, fatty cuts of meat should have the narrow or fatty areas shielded with foil at the beginning of the defrost sequence
