C. TWO- STAGE COOKING
Two-stage cook function lets you cook a
food at two different power levels with one
time setting. For example, rice should be
cooked in two stages. Stage 1starts rice at
100% power for 5 minutes; stage 2 comp-
letes cooking 10-12 minutes at 50%
power level.
SET STAGE 1:
Assuming 100% power, just touch number
pad illustrated in "Quick and Easy" setting
above for correct first stage time. (Most 2
stage recipes start with 100% power but
you can also switch power levels after set-
ting cook time.)
DO NOT TOUCH START PAD.
SET STAGE 2:
Touch COOK pad then enter proper cook-
ing time and (lower) power level. (Most 2-
stage recipes use lower power for second
stage.) Touch START pad. First stage of
cooking begins.
MEM (memory)word prompt shows on the
display during Stage 1 Cooking, indicating
that the oven is i remembering " that a sec-
ond step(stage 2) has been programmed.
After Stage 1 time has elapsed, two beeps
may be heard, signaling the beginning of
Stage 2.
AFTER TOTAL TIME HAS ELAPSED, 4
long beeps sound and END appears in dis-
play. Touch RESET pad or open oven door
to clear END before starting another cook-
ing function.
THESE ARE NORMAL:
• Outside of oven may feel warm. Steam
may escape from oven or moisture in oven
may be seen after cooking
• Change in interior light intensity, and
change in blower sound when lower power
setting are used.
• TV or radio interference (similar to
interference experienced in other small
appliances) may be noticed. This does not
indicate a problem.
4. SETTING "SPEED DEFROST"
A. Speed Defrost automatically sets
microwave oven power for quickest thawing
of small to medium size foods. Speed
Defrost works in conjunction with the Timer,
so you must know how much time to set.
Speed Defrost thawing times are usually
fast enough that you stay close to oven and
can attend to the food as it is defrosting.
Many foods benefit from being turned over,
rearranged or broken apart (if separate
pieces are frozen together.) This attention
makes defrosting faster and more even.
"How do I know whether to set Speed
Defrost or Defrost by Weight ?"
This is determined by the type of food
being defrosted and amount of attention
that must be paid to the food. The automat-
ic-coded Defrost by Weight program is
specifically designed for large, dense meat
roasts which must thaw slowly for even
defrosting. Defrost by Weight requires only
turn -over of the meat.
• Touch SPEED DEFROST pad.
Word prompts ENTER DEF TIME shows on
the display.
• Enter desired Speed Defrost time by touch-
ing correct number pads. Digital timer sets
minutes and seconds from left to right so a
single digit can be set (5 for 5 seconds ) or
up to 4 digits (2405 for 24 minutes 5 sec-
onds). ENTER DEF remains on the display.
Touch START/STOP pad. DEF flashes on
the display and defrost time begins count-
ing down. AFTER TIME HAS ELAPSED
four long beeps sound and END appears in
display. Touch RESET pad or open door to
clear END before starting another cooking
function.
B. To set "SPEED DEFROST" and one or
two-stage cooking sequentially.
After setting SPEED DEFROST, oven can
be programmed to automatically switch to
One or Two-Stage cook.
This feature is useful for frozen, moist
casseroles and similar foods which can be
stirred while reconstituting. After defrosting,
cook at 100% power level, then reduce to
lower settings until bubbling hot. Stir occa-
sionally to break up and redistribute heat.
