Microwave Cooking Power
Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking
power to use by percent, name or number. For example,
70%=7=Medium-High.
Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested
cooking power of specific foods.
MANUAL COOKING
Add 30 Seconds
The ADD 30 SEC. control automatically starts the oven at 100%
power for 30 seconds, and adds 30 seconds of cook time, up to
10 minutes, with each additional touch of the control. Time may
be added in 30-second increments by touching ADD 30 SEC., or
by minutes and seconds using the interactive touch screen
display. Cook power or cook time may be changed after cooking
begins by using the “Adjust Settings” control. While settings are
being adjusted, the countdown freezes, and then resumes when
adjustments are made.
Microwave Time/Power Cooking
The MICROWAVE TIME/POWER control is for manual
microwave-only cooking.
To Use MICROWAVE TIME/POWER:
1. Touch MICROWAVE TIME/POWER control pad.
2. Touch “+” or “-” controls, or use number pads to enter the
cook time in minutes and seconds.
If using 100% cooking power, skip Step 3.

use number pad to adjust the power level, between 10% and

4. Touch “Start” on the touch screen, or START control.
The display will count down the cook time.
During the countdown, cook time and/or cooking power may
be changed by touching “Adjust Settings” on the touch
screen, and following the prompts.
