SURE SIMMER
Your microwave oven lets you simmer soups,
casseroles, stews, and other liquid foods. All you do
is set a simmer time and your oven will bring your
food to a boil and then simmer it for the time you
specify.
NOTES:
• You cannot change the cook power or doneness
for Sure Simmer.
• This function uses the sensor. The sensor needs
2 minutes 30 seconds to warm up after the oven
is connected to power or after a power failure.
If you start Sure Simmer during the warm up,
microwave energy will not be turned on until the
sensor is warm.
• When cooking vegetables, increase amount of
water to 1/4 to 1/2 cup (60 to 125ml).
• Cover dish with a hard lid, i.e., the lid that comes
with the dish or a dinner plate. Do not use plastic
wrap.

SURE SIMMER
(SENSOR)
The oven will bring the
food to a boil.
The food will then simmer for the time you set.
When simmering foods like pasta use a container
that can hold enough water to cover the food
completely when cooking, such as a 3-quart (12 cup)
casserole with a lid. When cooking pasta or noodles,
add 1 tbsp (15ml) oil to the water before boiling.
Use the following method:
Place container with water in the oven and follow
steps 2~4, setting the simmer time at 1 second. At
the end of the signal, place the food in the water and
stir until completely covered by water. Cover. Repeat
steps 2~4, setting the simmer time you want.
Changing instructions you can change the simmering
time while simmering by repeating steps 2, 3, and 4.
