wiii automaticaliy determine the remaining time and power needed to finish
cooking the food. You oniy need to touch CCCK/REHEAT or CCCK FRCZEN and
a number pad (for a food setting), then START, if you iike your food less done
than average you may decrease the cooking time by touching the "LESS"
(Number 1) Pad after seiecting the category (before touching START), if you
iike your food more done than average, touch the "MORE” (Number 9) Pad
after seiecting the category (before touching START) to extend the time. You
may add ingredients, stir, turn or rotate during the timed portion of the Auto
Sensor cycies. However, "Err" wili show on the Display if the door is opened
during the first (automatic) part of either cycie. if this happens, open the door
and touch CANCEL. To finish cooking, estimate the remaining time and reset
