Recipes which require additional ingredients, attention or change of power levelduring microwavingshould be cookedin the usual manner.Also, recipes with cooking time of lessthan one minuteor morethan 99 minutes can not use Cooking Codes. To understandthe Cook Codecontrol, it is importantto knowwhat the numbersmeanand whatthe sequenceis.The first and second numbers, if settinga 3 digit Cooking Code,indicatethe amountof time you desire;the lastcontrol entry number is always the PowerLevel. Forexample,125means12minutes PowerLevel5. NOTE:Your oven can only be programmedto 99 minuteswhenusingthe Cook Codecontrol and the highestPowerLevelis 10which is representedby “O”.When setting a 2 digit Cook Code control entry,the first is time,the secondis power level.For example,50 means 5 minutesat PowerLevel10. On the following pageis shown manyfrequentlypreparedfoods and their codes+{t’seasy,though, to makeCooking Codesfor many other recipes.Just selectone or two digits representingthe length of cookingtime desired,and a final digit for the PowerLevelrequired. The CookingCodesgivenon the chart arefor the minimumtime needed,to avoidovercookingwhich can dry out food and makeit tastelessand tough. !f you feelthat more cooking is needed,addadditional time by changingthe first digit of at the Code. You cannot add seconds to the cycletime—CcmkingCodes are for whole minutesonly. If your recipecallsfor PowerLevelchanges or differentamountsof time needed betweenadditionof ingredients, you may setone Cooking Codefor the first part of the recipe,then after completion,set anotherCooking Code for that periodof time and PowerLevel. Rememberthat Cooking Codesare for microwavingby time only. If you are microwavingby temperature, you must usethe Temp Cook or Auto Roastfunction. Whenthe ovencompletesCCN3K CODE’” program,it automatically shuts off. It will then display“End” and beeponce a minuteuntil you either open the door or touch the CLEAR/OFFpad.
