TIME COOKING
Your oven can be programmed for 99 minutes and 99 sec-
onds (99.99). Always enter the seconds after the minutes,
even if they are both zeros.
• Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 100%.
1. Enter cooking time by touching the number pads 5 0 0.
2. Touch the START/+30 SEC pad.
TO SET POWER LEVEL
There are eleven preset power levels.
Using lower power levels increases the cooking time, which
is recommended for foods such as cheese and milk and long
slow cooking of meats. Consult a cookbook or recipes for
specific recommendations.

MANUAL DEFROST
If the food you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST
CHART or is above or below the limits in the AMOUNT
column on the DEFROST CHART, defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using POWER LEVEL 3. Follow the exact 3-step
procedure found under TO SET POWER LEVEL. Estimate
defrosting time and touch the number 3 pad for 30% when
you select the power level.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food, the rule of
thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example,
defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the
portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end
of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 min-
ute increments on POWER LEVEL 3 until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only
long enough to remove food from the plastic in order to place
it in a microwave-safe dish.
