Beverage

Beverages may be heated in the microwave oven by touching the 
BEVERAGE pad. One or two 8-oz. (250 mL) cups can be heated 
automatically using this function.

To Use BEVERAGE:

1. Touch BEVERAGE.

The display will show the setting for heating 1 cup.

2. Touch BEVERAGE a second time to heat 2 cups.

The microwave oven will start 5 seconds after the appropriate 
number of cups to be heated is selected. The display will 
count down the cook time.

If more or less time is required, touch COOK POWER before 
the oven starts cooking.

When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, 4 end-
of-cycle tones will sound, and then reminder tones will sound 
every minute.

3. Touch OFF/CANCEL or open the door to clear the display 

and/or stop reminder tones.

Cooking in Stages

The oven can be set to cook at different cooking powers for 
various lengths of time, up to three stages. Cook settings can be 
used in any order, except defrosting, which must be the first 
stage.

Sensor cooking cannot be done in stages.

To Cook in Stages:

1. Touch COOK TIME.

2. Touch number pads to enter length of time to cook during the 

first stage.

3. Touch COOK POWER.

4. Touch the number pad(s) using the Cooking Power chart to 

set the cooking power for the first cycle.

5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the second and third cycles.

6. Touch JET START.

The display will count down each of the cook times. A “1,” 
“2” or “3” will appear on the display during their respective 
stages.

When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, 4 end-
of-cycle tones will sound, and then reminder tones will sound 
every minute.

7. Touch OFF/CANCEL or open the door to clear the display 

and/or stop reminder tones.

The cook time and cooking power of the cycling stage can be 
changed after touching JET START without interrupting cooking.

To Change Cook Time: Touch COOK TIME. Use the number 
pads to enter the new cook time. Touch JET START.

To Change Cooking Power: Touch COOK POWER. Use the 
number pads to enter the new cooking power or repeatedly 
touch COOK POWER. Touch JET START.

Reheating

Times and cooking power have been preset for reheating five 
specific foods. Use the following chart as a guide.

To Use Reheat:

1. Touch REHEAT.

2. Touch number pad from chart

or

Touch REHEAT repeatedly to scroll through foods.

3. Touch number pads to enter quantity for Casserole and 

Baked Goods only.

The sensor will determine quantities for Pizza Slice, Soup and 
Sauce.

Reheat time may be adjusted at this time by touching COOK 
POWER.

4. Touch JET START.

The display will count down the reheat time.

When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, 4 end-
of-cycle tones will sound, and then reminder tones will sound 
every minute.

5. Touch OFF/CANCEL or open the door to clear the display 

and/or stop reminder tones.

Defrosting

The automatic Defrost control can be used or the microwave 
oven can be manually set to defrost.

Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal 
results.

Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before 
defrosting.

Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.

Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the 
end-of-cycle for more even defrosting.

Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such 
as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See “Aluminum Foil 
and Metal” first.
