don’t hear a tone, it is because of incorrectly entered instructions or because the tones have been removed. For example, a tone will not sound if you touch a Number Pad before you touch a Command Pad.
To remove the programmlng tone and reminder tone (the Mlnute Timer slgnal will not be
removed]:
l Open the door. l Touch CANCEL twice, then touch START. l Programming and reminder tones will be

Cooking in Your Microwave Oven

Although a new rattng method* rates thls oven at 800 watts, you may use a reliable cook­book wlth recipes developed for 650-700 watt mlcrowave ovens.
Be sure to read the MICRO MENUS@ Cookbook packed with the microwave oven. It contains lnformatlon about:
l What mlcrowave energy Is. l How food Is cooked by mlcrowave energy. l What affects cooklng speed and cooking evenness l Safetyttps. l Utensils to use when cooklng In a mlcrowave oven. l Cooklng times for dlfferent foods.
Important things to ternember to get the best cooklng results:
l ALWAYS cook food for the MINIMUM recommended cooking time. If necessary, add time
In one or two mlnute perlods, then check for doneness to avoid overcooking the food.
l Stir, turn or rearrange the food belng cooked about halfway through the cooking time
for most even doneness wlth all recipes.
l If a glass cover Is not avallable, use waxpaper, papertowels or microwave approved
plastic wmp. Turn back a corner to vent steam during cooking.

Cooking at Lower Cook Powers

For best results, some recipes call for lower Cook Powers. The lower the Cook Power, the slower the cooklng. Each Number Pad also stands for a different percentage of Cook Power. Many recipes in your MICRO MENUS@ Cookbook tell you, by number, which Cook Power to use. Recipes In other books and magazines may tell you by name (HI, MED, LO, etc.) or percentage (lo%, 50%, 80%, etc.).
