Meal Prep Defrost
The automatic defrost function can be used, or the microwave
oven can be manually set to defrost.
■ Unwrap foods and remove lids (e.g. fruit juice containers)
before defrosting.
■ Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
■ Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the
end of cycle for more even defrosting.
■ Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such
as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See “Aluminum Foil
and Metal” first.
The automatic defrost function should not be used for food left
outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes and frozen ready-
made food.
Times and cooking power have been preset for defrosting certain
food types. Use the following chart as a guide.
To Use the Defrost Control:
1. Touch DEFROST.
The display will show “1” for the first food type.
2. Turn the dial or repeatedly touch DEFROST to scroll through
the food types until the number of the desired food type is
displayed. See chart.
Wait 5 seconds, or touch START or SELECT.
The display will ask for weight.
3. Turn the dial to the desired weight.
4. Touch START.
The display will count down the defrost time.
When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and the
end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder tones.
5. Touch CANCEL or open the door to clear the display and/or
stop reminder tones.
To Defrost Manually: Follow instructions in “Cook Time Set”
section, and use 30% cooking power. See “Microwave Cooking
Power” chart.
Sensor Cooking
A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from
the food as it heats, and adjusts the cook time accordingly.
Many sensor cycles require the covering of foods. Microwave-
safe containers or steamers with loose-fitting lids are
recommended. The loose-fitting lid allows enough steam to
escape to be detected by the sensor. When covering foods with
plastic wrap, be sure to leave a large enough vent opening to
allow the steam to escape.
NOTES:
■ The microwave oven should be plugged in for at least
3minutes.
■ The microwave oven cavity and the exterior of the cooking
container should be dry.
■ The room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).
■ If the door is opened during a sensor cycle, sensing will stop
and the program will be canceled.
One Touch Sensor Cooking
A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from
the food and automatically sets a cooking time based on the
selected pad.
NOTE: During Popcorn function, as with all microwave cooking
functions, the microwave oven should be attended at all times.
Listen for popping to slow to 1 pop every 1 or 2 seconds, then
stop the cycle.
Use the following chart as a guide for the ONE TOUCH pads.
*To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use regular
paper bags or glassware. For best cooking results, do not try to
pop unpopped kernels. Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal
results. Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content. For
bag sizes not listed in this section, follow directions on package.
If using a microwave popcorn popper, follow manufacturer’s
instructions.
To Use Baked Potato and Meal Reheat:
1. Place item on turntable and close the door.
2. Touch BAKED POTATO or MEAL REHEAT.
The microwave oven will automatically turn on. The sensor
animation will briefly appear, followed by the estimated
remaining cook time.
Doneness may be adjusted during the first 20 seconds of
cooking by turning the dial. See “Doneness” section.
The remaining cook time may be recalculated several times
during cooking. Each time, the sensor animation will appear
for 3 seconds, followed by the new remaining time.
When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and the
end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder tones.
3. Touch CANCEL or open the door to clear the display and/or
stop reminder tones.
