OTHER CONVENIENT FEATURES MANUAL DEFROST If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the SuperDefrost or CompuDefrost Charts or is above or below the limits in the "Amount" column on the SuperDefrost or CompuDefrost Charts, you need to defrost manually. You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power Level 3. See page 9. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you select the power level. For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 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 minute increments on Power Level 3 until totally defrosted. When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish. MULTIPLE SEQUENCE COOKING Your oven can be programmed for up to 4 automatic cooking sequences, switching from one power level setting to another automatically. Sometimes cooking directions tell you to start on one power level and then change to a different power level. Your oven can do this automatically. • Suppose you want to cook roast beef for 5 minutes at 100% and then continue to cook for 30 minutes at 50%. PROCEDURE 1 First enter cooking time. Then touch Power Level twice for 100% power. 500 Power Level x 2 2 Then enter second cooking time. Touch Power Level. Touch number 5 for 50% power. 3000 Power Level 5 3 Touch START/ Touch On. START Touch On MINUTE PLUS Minute Plus allows you to cook for a minute at 100% by simply touching the Minute Plus. You can also extend cooking time in multiples of 1 minute by repeatedly touching Minute Plus during manual cooking. • Suppose you want to heat a cup of soup for one minute. PROCEDURE 1 Touch Minute Plus. Minute Plus NOTE: 1. To use Minute Plus, touch it within 3 minutes after cooking, closing the door, touching STOP/Clear or during cooking. 2. Minute Plus cannot be used with Special Features. TOUCH ON Touch On allows you to cook at 100% power by touching START/Touch On continuously. Touch On is ideal for melting cheese, bringing milk to just below boiling etc. The maximum cooking time is 3 minutes. • Suppose you want to melt cheese on a piece of toast. PROCEDURE 1 Continuously touch START/ Touch On. The cooking time will begin counting up. START Touch On 2 When the cheese is melted to desired degree, remove finger from START/ Touch On. Oven stops immediately. NOTE: 1. Note time it takes for frequently used foods and program that time in the future. 2. Touch START/Touch On within 3 minutes after cooking, opening and closing the door or touching the STOP/Clear. 3. Touch On can only be used 3 times in a row. If more times are needed, open and close door or touch STOP/Clear. NOTE: 1. If Power Level is touched twice, HIGH POWER will be displayed. 2. If 100% is selected as the final sequence, it is not necessary to touch Power Level. 3. If you wish to know the power level, simply touch Power Level. As long as your finger is touching Power Level, the power level will be displayed. 22
