To use Keep Warm as a separate program, touch Keep
Warm pad within 1 minute after cooking, closing the door
or touching the Stop/Clear pad.
HOOD LIGHT/HOOD FAN
Your microwave oven is equipped with a Hood Light and
a Hood Fan which can be used whether the door is open
or closed.
To turn the Hood Light on, touch the Light pad once. To
turn the Hood Light off, touch the Light pad again.
To turn the Hood Fan on, touch the Fan Hi/Lo pad once
for high speed. To turn the Hood Fan to low speed, touch
pad twice and touch the pad three times to turn the fan off.
When fan is manually turned on, "H" will be shown on
the display. When the fan is turned off, "H" will disappear
from display.
TURNTABLE ON/OFF
For most cooking, the turntable should be on; however
the turntable can be turned off so that it does not rotate
when extra large dishes, such as the popular 13"x9"x2"
glass utility casserole, are used. The casserole should be
placed on the turntable so that it is level.
• Suppose you want to cook lasagna in a 13"x9"x2"
casserole for 45 minutes on 40% power.
1. Touch Turntable On/Off pad and note TURNTABLE
OFF in the display.
2. Enter cooking time by touching the number pads
4500 .
3. Touch Power Level pad and number 4 for 40% power.
4. Touch Start/Touch On pad.
Note: The door can be opened for checking food and
the turntable will stay in the off position. After checking,
close door and touch Start/Touch On.
The turntable will stay off for one minute after door is
opened when time-of-day appears in the display. It is
possible to reprogram the oven during that minute without
touching the Turntable On/Off pad. The display always
indicates whether the turntable is off or on.
THE TURNTABLE SHOULD ALWAYS BE ON WHEN USING
THE SPECIAL FEATURES. On/Off function can be used
with manual cooking modes and Reheat. Turntable off
condition will automatically change to on condition when
you select auto cooking except Reheat and Convec Bake.
When cooking large quantities of food which cannot be
stirred, it is best to use a lower power level such as 40%
or 50%. You may speed cooking of large amounts by
programming 5 to 10 minutes on 100% power (HIGH)
followed by the desired time on lower power. See page
25 for how to program multiple sequences. You may
wish to reverse a large casserole once during cooking;
simply open door, reposition casserole, close door and
touch Start/Touch On.
TIME COOKING MICROWAVE
Your microwave oven can be programmed for 99 minutes
and 99 seconds (99.99). Always enter the seconds after
the minutes, even if they are both zeros.
• Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 100%.
1. Enter cooking time by touching the number pads
500 .
2. Touch Start/Touch On pad.
TO SET POWER LEVEL
There are eleven preset power levels.
Using lower power levels increases the cooking time which
is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk and long
slow cooking of meats. Consult cookbook or recipes for
specific recommendations.
