Cooking by Time
Time Cook I & II allows you to
microwave for a selected amount
of time.
Power level 10 (High) is
recommended for most cooking,
but you may change this for more
flexibility. See the cookbook.
To become better acquainted with
time cooking, make a cup of coffee
by following the steps below.
Step 1: Fill a cup 2/3 full of water,
add
1
teaspoon of instant coffee
and stir to dissolve. Use a cup that
has no metal decoration and is
microwave-safe (refer to section
on Microwaving Tips). Place cup
in oven and close door.

the power level. (If power level 10
is not appropriate, see “How to
Change Power Level” at right.)

Questions and Answers
Q. I set my oven for the time
called for in the recipe, but at the
end of the time allowed, my food
wasn’t done. What happened?
A. Since house power varies due
to time or location, many time
cooking recipes give you a time
range to prevent overcooking. Set
the oven for minimum time, test
the food for doneness,
and
cook
your food a little longer, if
necessary.
Q.
I touched the number pads and
selected my power level. When I
touched START, however, my
oven didn’t come on. Why not?
A. The TIME COOK pad must be
touched before setting the number
pads or else your oven will not
begin cooking.
Q. I want to cook on a power
level
other than High. What do I
need to do?
A. To change the power
level,
touch the POWER LEVEL pad,
then touch desired number for new
power
level.
Q. Can I interrupt Time Cook to
check the food?
A. Yes.
To resume cooking, simply
close the door and press the START
pad. The timer must be reset for
cooking to resume unless time is
remaining on timer.
Step 4:
Touch START.
