TWO-STAGE COOKINGTwo-stage cook function lets you cook a food attwo different power levels with one time setting.For example, rice should be cooked in two stages.Stage 1 starts rice at 100% power for 5 minutes;stage 2 completes cooking 10-12 minutes at 50%power level.SET STAGE 1:Assuming 100% power, just touch number padillustrated in “Quick and Easy” setting above forcorrect first stage time. (Most 2 stage recipes startwith 100% power but you can also switch powerlevels after setting cook time.)DO NOT TOUCH START PAD.SET STAGE 2:Touch COOK pad then enter proper cooking timeand (lower) power level. (Most 2 stage recipes uselower power for second stage.) Touch STARTpad. First stage of cooking begins.MEM (memory) word prompt shows on the displayduring Stage 1 Cooking, indicating that the oven isremembering that a second step (stage 2) hasbeen programmed. After Stage 1 time has elapsed,signal may be heard, signaling the beginning ofStage 2.AFTER TOTAL TIME HAS ELAPSED, 4 longbeeps sound and END appears in display. TouchRESET pad or open oven door to clear ENDbefore starting another cooking function.THESE ARE NORMAL:Outside of oven may feel warm. Steam mayescape from oven or moisture in oven may beseen after cooking.Change in interior light intensity, and change inblower sound when lower power setting are used.TV or radio interference (similar to interferenceexperienced in other small appliances) may benoticed. This does not indicate a problem.4. SETTING “SPEED DEFROST”A. Speed Defrost automatically sets microwave ovenpower for quickest thawing of small to mediumsize foods. Speed Defrost works in conjunctionwith the Timer, so you must know how much timeto set. Speed Defrost thawing times are usuallyfast enough that you stay close to oven and canattend to the food as it is defrosting. Many foodsbenefit from being turned over, rearranged orbroken apart (if separate pieces are frozentogether.) This attention makes defrosting fasterand more even. “How do I know whether to setSpeed Defrost or Defrost by Weight?” This isdetermined by the type of food being defrostedand amount of attention that must be paid to thefood. The automatic-coded Defrost by Weightrequires only turn-over of the meat.l Touch SPEED DEFROST pad.Word prompts ENTER DEF TIME shows on thedisplay.l Enter desired Speed Defrost time by touchingcorrect number pads. Digital timer sets minutesand seconds from left to right so a single digit canbe set (5 for 5 seconds) or up to 4 digits (2405 for24 minutes 5 seconds). ENTER DEF remains onthe display. Touch START/STOP pad. DEFflashes on the display and defrost time beginscounting down. AFTER TIME HAS ELAPSEDsignal sound and END appears in display. TouchRESET pad or open door to clear END beforestarting another cooking function.B. To set “SPEED DEFROST” and one or two-stagecooking sequentially. After setting SPEEDDEFROST, oven can be programmed toautomatically switch to One or Two-Stage cook.This feature is useful for frozen, moist casserolesand similar foods which can be stirred whilereconstituting. After defrosting, cook at 100%power level, then reduce to lower settings untilbubbling hot. Stir occasionally to break up andredistribute heat.9
