Your oven allows you to set three different cooking stages, each with their own time length and power level.
The power level lets you control the heating intensity from Warm (1) through to High (0).
For simple one-stage cooking, you only need to set the cooking time. The power level is
automatically set to High. If you want to set the power level to any other level, use the Power
Level button.
1. Use the number buttons to set a cooking time. You can enter a time from one second
right up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds. To select a time greater than one minute, enter the
seconds too. (For example, to set a cooking time of 20 minutes, enter 2, 0, 0, 0.)
2. If you want to set the power level to a level other than High, press the Power Level button
and use the number buttons to enter the power level. The display will show: PRESS START
OR ENTER NEXT STAGE COOKING TIME.
3. Press the Start button to begin cooking. If you want to change the power level, press the
Stop/Clear button before you press the Start button, and enter all the instructions again.
