Microwave Oven Use
Sensor Cooking
Make sure microwave oven has been plugged in for at least 2 minutes. Use microwave-safe dish with loose-fitting lid, or cover microwave-safe dish with plastic wrap and vent. For optimal performance, wait at least 30 minutes after convection cooking or grilling (on some models) before sensor cooking.

Warm Hold

Stage Cooking

WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven. The Warm Hold function uses 10% cook power. Warm Hold can be used by itself or can be prorammed to follow a cooking cycle. Opening the door during Warm Hold will cancel the function.

If programming stage cooking, follow the screen prompts on the display to add additional stages, and set time, power and/or temperature (on some models) for each stage. Up to 4 stages may be programmed.

Doneness
Add or subtract time from most automatic cook functions by touching �Doneness� on the touch screen during programing, and following the prompts. Doneness is remembered for specific programs. Some meat, poultry and/or fish functions may not give you the option to lessen doneness.

For list or description of various programs, see the Quick Reference Guide provided with your microwave oven.
