Heating With Multiple Cooking Stages; Suggestions For Getting The Best Results - Furrion FMCM15-BL Manuel D'instructions

Operation
Heating with Multiple Cooking
Stages
For best results, some microwave recipes
call for different power levels or different
lengths of time for cooking. Your microwave
may be set to change from one stage to
another automatically (2 stages maximum).
Example: to cook food for 3 minutes at 80%
power and then 50% power for 6 minutes 30
seconds:
1. Press Microwave pad.
2. Use the number pads to enter heating
time for the 1st stage (cook time may be
set up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds).
3. Press Power Level pad once.
4. Use the number keys to enter power
level for the 1st stage. PL8 appears in the
display (80 % power).
5. Press Microwave pad for 2nd stage.
6. Use the number pads to enter heating
time for the 2nd stage (cook time may be
set up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds).
7. Press Power Level pad for 2nd stage.
8. Use the number key to enter power level
for the 2nd stage. PL5 appears in the
display (50 % power).
9. Press START/+30SEC. pad.
When heating has finished you will hear
beeps .
NOTE: Power level must always be
programmed for first stage - 100% =10.
Suggestions for getting the Best
Results
To help you achieve the best possible results
from your microwave oven, read the following
suggestions below;
● Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or
refrigerator take longer to cook than the
same foods would at room temperature.
● Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than
large ones. Pieces similar in size and
shape will cook more evenly when cooked
13
together. For more even results, reduce
the power levels when cooking large
pieces of food.
● Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly
because microwave energy heats water
molecules very efficiently.
● Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and
vegetable from the outside to the center
to distribute the heat more evenly. This
will allow the food to cook faster. Constant
stirring is not necessary.
● Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops,
roasts or whole cauliflower halfway
through the cook time. This will help to
expose all sides equally to microwave
energy.
● Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such
as asparagus tips, toward the center of
the turntable tray.
● Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such
as chicken pieces or salmon, with the
thicker or meatier parts toward the
outside of the turntable tray.
● Let the food stand
After removing the food from the
microwave, cover the food with foil or
a casserole lid and let it stand to finish
cooking. This will help the food finish in
the center and avoids overcooking the out
edges, The length of stand time depends
on the density and surface area of the
food items.
● Wrapping in paper towels or waxed
paper
Sandwiches and many other food types
containing prebaked bread should be
wrapped prior to placing in the microwave
to help prevent the food items fro drying
out while heating.
