Microwave - Stage Cooking

Stage cooking is a program feature that allows multi-function cooking in a microwave. Select microwave models offer this feature. Many of the functions on electronic control microwaves can be input in sequence and the control will follow these instructions in the proper order.

 

Programming Stage Cooking in a Microwave Oven

3-Stage Example

  1. Defrost
  2. Time Cook I
  3. Time Cook II

Or any other sequence of 3 functions offered on the specific model.

 

4-Stage Example

  1. Delay Start (using the Min/Sec Timer)
  2. Defrost
  3. Time Cook I
  4. Time Cook II

Or any other sequence of 4 functions offered on the specific model.

 

5-Stage Example

  1. Auto Start
  2. Defrost
  3. Min/Sec Timer (for stand time)
  4. Time Cook I

The microwave will follow through with these "stages", one right after the other. Models vary in capability from 2 to 5 stages that can be accepted at one time.

 

Note: When the Min/Sec Timer is programmed with any other function, the light and fan will operate during the Min/Sec time span as well as the other stages.

 

Please consult the Owner's Manual for your specific model for directions on using all features including stage cooking.
