Using Your Microwave Oven
Cooking with more than
one cook cycle
For best results, some recipes call for one cook power
for a certain length of time, and another cook power
for another length of time. Your oven can be set to
change from one power level to another automatically,
for up to 3 cycles plus a defrost cycle.
1. Put your food in the oven and close the
door.
2. Touch number pads to set the cooking
time for the first cycle.
3. Touch number pad to set the cook
power for the first cycle.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to set the
cooking time and cook power for each
additional cycle.
5. Touch START.
After each cycle is complete, 2 tones sound and
the next cycle(s) will count down.
6. At the end of the cooking time:
Display will show “END” and 3 tones will sound.
NOTES:
• You can set your chosen cook functions in any
order. However, when you use CUSTOM
DEFROST, it must be the first cycle.
• Cooking with more than one cook cycle will not
work with AUTO SENSOR COOK or AUTO
SENSOR REHEAT functions.
