• When heating has finished you will hear beeps.

DEFROSTING TIPS

• When using the defrost weight feature, the weight entered should always be pounds (valid entries are from 0.1 to 6.0 pounds).
• Use both defrost weight and defrost time features for raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a true freezer). If the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5° F or below, always program a lower food weight or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.
• If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.
• The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated frozen pieces of food defrost better.
• Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.
• You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails, but do not allow the foil to touch the oven cavity walls when defrosting.

DEFROSTING SUGGESTIONS FOR MEATS
For best results, please read these suggestions when defrosting meats.

fat side down. After each stage, turn the food over
and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered for 15-30 minutes.
Steaks, chops or fish| 0.5 to 3 lbs. (8 to 48 oz.)| After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed portions of food, shield them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted.
Let stand, covered for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Ground meat| 0.5 to 3 lbs (8 to 48 oz.).| After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil for 5 to 10 minutes.
Whole chicken| 2.5 to 6 lbs. (40 to 96 oz.)| Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start defrosting with the breast side down. After the 1st stage, turn the chicken over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After the 2nd stage, again shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for 30 to 60 minutes in the refrigerator.
Chicken pieces| 0.5 to 3 lbs. (8 to 48 oz.)| After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.

SUGGESTIONS FOR GETTING THE BEST RESULTS
To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below;

• Storage temperature
  Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods would at room temperature.

• Size
  Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.

• Natural moisture
  Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.

• Stirring
  Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.

• Turn over items
  Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

• Food placement
  Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.

• Food arrangement
  Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.

• Let the food stand
  After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish in the center and avoids overcooking the out edges, The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.

• Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper
  Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items from drying out while heating.

POPCORN
CAUTION
DO NOT leave microwave oven unattended while popping corn.

EXTERIOR
The outside surface is precoated steel and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.
DOOR
Wipe the window on both sides with a soft cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
EASY CARE™ STAINLESS STEEL/ SMUDGE.PROOF™ STAINLESS STEEL / BLACK STAINLESS STEEL(some models)
Your microwave oven(some models) may have a Stainless Steel finish or coating. Clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT use ANY store bought cleaners like Stainless Steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorines or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the microwave oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/Cancel
INTERIOR
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces . To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. The round wire rack and shelf can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed and dried.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
The waveguide cover is located on the right side in the microwave oven cavity. It is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.
ODOR REMOVAL
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon in a 2-cup glass measuring cup.
Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in microwave oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT
The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and non- abrasive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use upper wirerack of dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.
