USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
COOKING WITH MORE THAN ONE
COOK CYCLE
For best results, some recipes call for one cook power
for a certain length of time, and another cook power for
another length of time. Your oven can be set to change
from one to another automatically, for up to two cycles.
1. Put food in oven and close the door.
2. Set cooking time for first cycle.
Touch COOK TIME and the desired amount of
time.
3. Set cook power for first cycle.
Touch COOK POWER and desired power level for
first cycle.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to set cooking
time and cook power for the second
cycle.
5. Start oven.
Touch START/ENTER.
After the first cycle is over, the next cycle will count
down.
At end of cooking time: The display will show
“END”.
Changing instructions
You can change times or cook powers for a cycle any
time after that cycle starts by repeating Steps 2 and/or
3 and 4.

(within 3 seconds).
While display shows “1 CUP”, you may increase the
quantity to 2-4 cups (500-1000 mL) by pressing
cook repeatedly.

Your microwave oven automatically defrosts a variety
of common meats at preset cook powers for preset
times. The 3-stage defrost cycle is programmed for
meat, poultry, and fish.

or three times for fish.
