• When heating has finished, you will hear beeps.

Defrosting Tips

• When using the defrost weight feature, the weight entered should always be in 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:

Reheat

The reheat feature provides 3 quick preset settings based on serving size to reheat food for your cooking convenience.

Example: to reheat 24 ounces of food:

1. Press Reheat pad 3 times (see reheat category table) to reheat 24oz. of food. "24oz" will appear in the display.
2. Press START pad.

Melt / Soften

The oven uses low power to melt and soften items. See the following table.

Example: to melt 8 oz. of Cream Cheese:

1. Press Melt/Soften pad 4 times to reheat 8oz. of food. "So-4" will appear in the display (see Melt/Soften category table).
2. Then press the number pad; weight will appear in the display.
3. Press START pad.

Suggested Power Levels for Cooking

The 10 power levels available with this microwave will help you to adjust the power output best suited for the food type you are preparing. As with any food preparation in the microwave, it is best to follow the microwave instructions that are printed on food packaging.

The table below provides suggested power levels for various types of food:

Suggestions for Getting the Best Results

• 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 vegetables 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 outer 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.

Specialized Cooking Features
