Microwave Operation
Timed Cooking
This feature allows you to program a specific cook time
and power level. The microwave oven can be pro-
grammed for up to 99 minutes.
Power levels represent a percentage of microwave
power. See Page 12.
Example: You want the oven to cook for 5 minutes, 30
seconds at 80% power.
Using Your Microwave Oven
Manual Defrost
Manual Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of
frozen foods and is one of the great advantages of a
microwave oven.
Manual Defrost can be used to quickly thaw foods such
as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen dinners.
QUICK DEFROST and AUTO DEFROST are preferred
for meats and poultry because the oven is programmed
with the defrosting time and power level.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or cooked,
by using Power Level 3. Follow the same procedure for
Timed Cooking: enter the estimated defrosting time
and then touch 3 for 30% power level.
For raw or cooked foods, a good rule is to defrost
approximately four minutes per pound. For example, for
1 pound of pasta sauce, defrost for four minutes.
Always check food periodically, stirring, rotating or
separating defrosted portions of food. If food is not
defrosted at end of defrost time, set the oven at Power
Level 3 for one minute increments until food is thawed.
