MICROWAVE FEATURES
MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Defrost Chart or is above or below the limits in the
“Amount” column on the chart, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using power level 3. Follow the
exact 3-step procedure found under To Set Power Level on page 16. Estimate defrosting time and press
number 3 for 30% when you select the power level.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food, the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per
pound. For example, defrost 5 minutes for 2-3 cups of casserole or 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not
defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on
power level 3 until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in
order to place food in a microwave-safe dish.
SENSOR COOKING
The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the
food as it heats. The Sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for various foods and quantities. It
takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking.
Using SENSOR Settings:
1. Room temperature should not exceed 95˚F.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe o any mois-
ture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. Sensor cooking can only be entered within 1 minute after cooking, opening and closing the door or
touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.
4. During the rst part of sensor cooking, SENSOR REHEAT, POPCORN REGULAR SENSOR, BAKED POTATO,
FROZEN VEG, SOFT FRESH VEG, HARD FRESH VEG, FROZEN ENTREE, HOT DOGS, BACON or FISH will ap-
pear on display. Do not open oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cooking cycle.
The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, ERROR will appear and sensor cooking
will be interrupted. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and select cooking time and
power. When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear.
Door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears on display. At this time, you may stir or
season food, as desired.
5. Check food for doneness after cooking with sensor settings. If additional time is needed, continue to
cook with variable power and time.
6. If the sensor does not detect vapor, ERROR will appear and the oven will shut o.
7. At the end of any cycle, open oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR pad. The time of day will reappear on
the display.
8. Any sensor setting can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 28.
Selecting Foods:
1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, foods for reheating would
be at refrigerator temperature and potatoes for baking would be room temperature.
2. More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked by time and variable power.
