Doneness
For most automatic cooking functions, the doneness of a
particular food item can be adjusted by turning the dial. Increasing
or decreasing the doneness adds time to, or subtracts time from
the cooking cycle.
For up to 20 seconds after cooking has started, turning the dial
will change the doneness value. There are 5 settings: default, “2,”
“1,” “-1” and “-2.” The display shows “----” for the default setting.
Doneness cannot be adjusted for Defrost functions or for the
Popcorn function.
Doneness cannot be decreased for Boneless Chicken Breasts
function.
