(í H1-POWER7 “MULTI-POWER” COOKING
“HI” gives the highest cooking power possible with your oven. It is the recommended setting for cooking foods with high
moisture content or for cooking foods that need fast cooking to maintain their natural flavor and texture. Many foods need
slower cooking (at less than full power) in order to give you the best results. In addition to “HI” there are ten multi-power
settings. The cookbook tells you which power setting is recommended for the food being cooked.
1. Touch STOP/CLEAR. Place food in oven, then close
the door.

Remember, the timer is a digital clock that is divided
into 60 seconds. Therefore,
V 2 minute is equal to 30
seconds. Touch 30 and not 50 (as with a calculator)
to indicate 1/2.
NOTE: Although we recommend entering the power
level first when setting the microwave oven, you can en­

FAST DEFROST
Your oven is equipped with an Auto Defrost system
which is the best defrost method for this oven.
FAST DEFROST is explained in order to show other de­
frosting possibilities.
To speed up the defrosting of dense food items over 1
lb., start on “HI” then reduce to the 30 (DEFROST) set­
ting.
1. Microwave on “HI” for 1-2 minutes per pound of
dense food items.
2. Then Microwave on 30 (DEFROST) for 3 minutes per
pound or until food is thawed. Defrosting time will be
greatly reduced.
