for another length of time. Your oven can be set to

for up to 3 cycles plus a defrost 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.
