1. SEQUENCE COOKING
This function quickly defrosts food while enabling you to choose a suitable defrost period, depending on the food type. Follow the example
below for details on how to operate this function. The time range is 0:05 – 95:00. This function allows you to cook using up to 2 diff erent
stages which can include manual cooking time or time defrost as well as weight defrost function. Once programmed there is no need to
interfere with the cooking operation as the oven will automatically move onto the next stage. An audible signal will sound once after the
fi rst stage. If one chosen stage is defrosting, this should be the fi rst stage of sequence cooking.
Note: AUTO MENU cannot be set as one of the multiple sequences.
Example: If you want to defrost the food for 5 minutes, then to cook with P80 microwave power for 7 minutes. The steps are as follows:
