power levels or different lengths of time for cooking. Your
microwave may be set to change from one stage to another
automatically (2 stages maximum).
Example: to cook food at 80%power for 3 minutes and
then 50% power for 6 minutes 30 seconds:
1. Press Power Level pad.
2. Use the number pads to enter power level
for the 1st stage - 80% power.
3. Press START/+30 sec pad.
4. Use the number pads to enter heating
time for the 1st stage (cook time may be
set up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds).
5. Press Power Level for the 2nd stage.
6. Use the number pads to enter power level
for the 2nd stage. (50% power)
7. Press START/+30 sec pad.
8. Use the number pads to enter heating
time for the 2nd stage (cook time may be
set up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds).
9. Press START/+30 sec pad.
When finished, you will hear a series of beeps.
NOTE:
1. The "Convenience operation" can't be set as one of
multiple cooking.
2. If the 1st stage is the set defrost feature, the 2nd stage
can't be set to Defrost again. If one of the stages is
weight defrost, that will be the 1st stage when cooking
starts.
