SPECIAL NOTES FOR DEFROSTING BY TIME
· After pressing START key, the display will count down remaining defrost
time. The oven will beep during the defrost cycle. At this time open the door
and turn the food if needed and remove any portions that have already thawed.
Press the START key to resume the defrost cycle.
· 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.

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
15 OPERATION
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
