Whirlpool 8205977 Manuel D’Utilisation

When using preset cooking powers and cook times for selected 
food types (Cereal, Eggs, Frozen Food, Vegetable, Grains, Meat, 
Poultry, and Fish), follow the “Cook” menus to select amounts 
and begin the auto function. See “Display/Touch Screen” section 
for sample programming.

then enter desired cooking power.

When the cooking cycle ends, the “End” screen will appear in 
the display, 4 end-of-cycle tones will sound, and then 
reminder tones will sound every minute for 15 minutes.

For many cooking functions, the screen displays a “Doneness” 
bar which can be adjusted by touching “+” or “-.” For most 
foods, the maximum and minimum doneness settings add to, or 
subtract from normal cook time.

For Defrost, the controlled percentage depends on food type and 
weight.

When doneness has been set for a specific food, the “Doneness” 
bar remembers that setting, and will remain at that setting for all 
future cooking cycles of that specific food, until it is reset.

Doneness control for Poultry, Pork, Fish, Hamburger and Steak 
can be set for no less than the default doneness.

For many cooking functions, the “Prepare” screen is available. 
Touch “Prepare” for preparation instructions, as well as additional 
information about the food item, cookware, etc.
