SENSOR COOKING CONVENIENCE COOKING

With your new Microwave Oven, you can

microwave by time by using the Sensor features, or by using the Auto features.

TIME COOK EXPRESS COOK TIME DEFROST ADD 30 SEC

TimeFeatures allow you to set the exact

amount of time needed to prepare foods, up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds.

When power is restored, all digits in the display will light up, then the

display will read RESET.

Thisfeature adds flexibilityto microwave cooking. Each level of

power gives you microwaveenergy with a certain percent of the power.Such as:

1= 10%of power 2= 20% of power 3= 30% of power

4= 40% of power 5= 50% of power

6= 60% of power

7'= 70% of power

8= 80% of power

9= 90% of power O= 100%of power

Most of your cooking will be done using

100%of power. Foods will cook faster

but will need to be stirred, rotated, or turned over more frequently.

Using a lower level of power will cook

foods moreevenly and need less

stirring or rotating. Some foods may have a better flavor,texture,or

appearance if one ofthe lower power levels is used. A lower power is much

better for foods thathave tendencies to

boil over,
