Microwave Oven Use
For list or description of various programs, see the Quick Reference Guide provided with your microwave oven.
Sensor Cooking
Make sure microwave oven has been plugged in for at least 2 minutes.
Use microwave-safe dish with loose-fitting lid, or cover microwave-safe
dish with plastic wrap and vent. For optimal performance, wait at least
30 minutes after convection cooking or grilling (on some models) before
sensor cooking.
Stage Cooking
If programming stage cooking, follow the screen prompts on the display
to add additional stages, and set time, power and/or temperature (on
some models) for each stage. Up to 4 stages may be programmed.
Doneness
Add or subtract time from most automatic cook functions by touching
“Doneness” on the touch screen during programing, and following the
prompts. Doneness is remembered for specific programs. Some meat,
poultry and/or fish functions may not give you the option to lessen
doneness.
Popcorn
Popcorn is a sensor function. The sensor determines appropriate
cooking times for commercially packaged popcorn.
Warm Hold
Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven. The Warm
Hold function uses 10% cook power. Warm Hold can be used by itself
or can be programmed to follow a cooking cycle. Opening the door
during Warm Hold will cancel the function.
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
