Cooking at lower cook powers

For best results, some recipes call for lower Cook
Powers. The lower the Cook Power, the slower the cooking. 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.).
The following chart gives the percentage of Cook Power each Number Pad stands for, and Cwk Power name usually used:
automatic 100% of full power HIGH 9 = 90% of full power
8 = 80%
7 = 70% of full power MED-HIGH 6 = 60% of full power
5 = 50% of full power MED 4 = 40% of full power 3 = 30% of full power MED-LOW 2 = 20% of full power

Using AUTO SET

Auto Set provides ten preset times. One to nine minutes at HIGH Cook Power can be selected by touching AUTO SET and the corresponding
Number Pad (l-9). You don’t need to touch any additional Number Pads as you do when using COOK 1 or COOK 2. This provides a short-cut method for setting commonly used cooking times.
The AUTO SET chart included with your microwave oven and the AUTO SET guide on the inner door panel helps you cook various food items
without having to look up the cooking times.
A preset time of 2 minutes, 30 seconds at HIGH Cook Power is available by touching just the AUTO SET pad. The time may be changed to any time from O-99 minutes, O-99 seconds, allowing you to store your favorite cooking time and Cook Power, or to preprogram the oven for someone else to cook an already prepared dish at a later time. See page 16 for instructions.

Page 17
Using PAUSE with QUICK DEFROST
If the defrosting instructions call for stirring or turning over the food in the middle of the defrost cycle, program PAUSE after QUICK DEFROST. See pages 24-25 for more information.
Standing time after defrosting
For best results, allow the food to stand for a while after defrosting. This helps equalize the tempera-
ture of the food to provide more even defrosting.
When COOK 1 follows QUICK DEFROST, the
oven automatically provides a standing time equal
to the time touched in for QUICK DEFROST.
COOK 1 will begin after the automatic standing time. See “Cooking automatically after defrosting, ‘I page 18.
For a different standing time:
1.
Touch QUICK DEFROST and the desired time.
2. Touch COOK 2.
3. Touch Number Pads for the desired standing time.
4. Touch COOK POWER.
5. Touch “0” for zero Cook Power.
6. Touch START.
When QUICK DEFROST is over, the oven will shut off. Two beeps will sound. The Display will count down the new standing time programmed.
About the Quick Defrost cycle
The microwave oven automatically divides the time set for the Quick Defrost cycle into three equal parts:
First part . . . . . . . . . . . . 80% of full Cook Power
Second part.. . .50% of full Cwk Power
Third part . . . . . . . . . . . 20% of full Cook Power
This automatic stepdown in Cook Power helps
defrost food quickly and completely.
Changing or adding defrost time
You can change the defrosting time any time before or after touching START.
1.
Touch QUICK DEFROST.
2. Touch Number Pads for new time.
3. Touch START.
Any new time setting made while Quick Defrost is operating will continue the defrosting at only 20% of full power.
The best time to change the setting is near the end of the Quick Defrost cycle.
1. Open the door.
2. Check the food with a long-tined fork; if center area is hard frozen, set additional time. Re-
member that standing time is necessary to complete defrosting.
3. Close the door and touch START to continue the cycle if no additional time is needed. OR... Touch in new instructions for additional defrost­ing time.

Hints for cooking with more than one cycle
You can program the cooking cycles in any order.
However, when the microwave oven is started, it will automatically go through the cycles in the order of the examples described in this book. For example, if you program COOK 1, KEEP WARM and QUICK DEFROST, the microwave oven will automatically follow this sequence: QUICK DEFROST -D (STANDING TIME) + COOK 1 + KEEP WARM.
NOTE:
The microwave oven will automatically provide standing time between QUICK DEFROST and COOK 1. (See page 17.)
Changing or adding instructions
You can change times, Cook Powers, or add cycles any time before touching START or during oven operation:
1.
Touch the Cook cycle you wish to change or add (COOK 1 or 2).
2. Touch numbers for new time, if desired.
3. Touch COOK POWER, if change is desired.
4. Touch number for new Cook Power, or touch COOK POWER again if HIGH is desired.
5. Touch in new cycle and time, if desired.
6. Touch START.

Using PAUSE

For best results, some recipes call for stirring, turning over or rearranging food, or for adding ingredients during cooking. Your microwave oven can be set to pause between COOK 1 and COOK 2, between AUTO SET and a following cycle, between QUICK DEFROST and a followino cycle (except COOK l), or during QUICK I DEFROST. This gives you time to stir (casseroles), turn over (meat) or rearrange (potatoes) food, or to add ingredients. PAUSE is not available between any cycle and KEEP WARM or after QUICK DEFROST.
1. Put food in the oven and close the oven door.
2. Touch in the desired cooking instructions for COOK 1, (page 20).
3. Touch PAUSE. The COOK 1 Indicator Light will be on and the Display will show “PAUS”.
4. Touch in the desired cooking instructions for COOK 2, (see page 20).
5. Touch START. The Display will show the time you selected for Cook 1.
When Cook 1 is over, 2 beeps will sound and the oven will shut off. The Display will show “PAUS”.
The COOK 2 Indicator Light will come on. Open the door, stir, turn over or rearrange
the food or add ingredients. Close the door.
Touch START to continue with Cook 2.
NOTE:
The oven will remain off until you touch
START.

How Your Microwave Oven Works

Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks the food.
Microwaves are like TV waves or light waves.
You can’t see them, but you can see what they do.
Mode mlxer
Magnetron
&en cavity
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven where they are scattered or stirred by a mode mixer (like a fan). Microwaves bounce off metal oven walls and are absorbed by food.
Microwaves pass through glass, paper and most plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal pans so food does not absorb the energy.
Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat around the outside is what cooks the roast all the way through. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (roasts, baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the cooking time.
The microwaves disturb water molecules in the food. As the molecules bounce around bumping into each other, heat is made, like rubbing your hands together. This is the heat that does the cooking.
