The Timer
The Timer feature of this oven has many
uses. Use it to time standing times after
microwave cooking, or mixing or beating
times when preparing recipes. By
programming the Timer in Memory 1, you
can also delay the start of cooking of a food.
This is paticularly helpful during the last
busy minutes before dinner time when you
may forget to start cooking a food that only
takes a few minutes. When using the
Timer feature, there is no microwave
energy or cooking in your oven. To use the
Timer feature of this oven it is important to
carefully follow each of the following steps.

Speed Defrost with Memory
Microwaves have a difficult time
penetrating frozen foods in the first few
minutes and penetrate foods more easily
when they are partially defrosted. The
defrost time can be speeded by starting
with microwave cooking on |
x
1 HIGH
and then automatically reducing to the
1 3 1 DEFROST setting.
To Speed Defrost With Memory:
1. Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes per
pound of dense food items.
2. Then microwave on
I
3
1
DEFROST for
3 minutes per pound or until food is
thawed. Defrost time will be greatly
reduced.
Example: You would normally defrost a
4 lb. roast on 1 3 1 DEFROST for 35
minutes. With Speed Defrost you would
need only 20 minutes:
1. Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes per
pound (2 minutes x 4 pounds = 8 minutes).
2. Microwave on CHH DEFROST for
3 minutes per pound (3 minutes x
4 pounds^ 12 minutes).
