Sensor Reheat
The sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released
from the food and automatically sets a reheat time based on the
selection. Use the following chart as a guide.
NOTE: When covering foods, make sure the vent opening is large
enough for the moisture to escape. This will allow the sensor to
accurately determine cooking time.
To Use Reheat:
Before using, make sure the microwave oven has been plugged
in for at least 3 minutes, the room temperature is not above 95°F
(35°C) and the outside of the container and microwave oven
cavity are dry.
1. Place food on the turntable and close the door.
2. Touch REHEAT until the desired food type is displayed.
The microwave oven will start automatically after a brief
delay.
When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder
tones.
3. Touch OFF-CANCEL or open the door to clear the display
and/or stop reminder tones.
Defrosting
The Auto Defrost feature’s preset programs can be used or the
microwave oven can be manually set to defrost. To defrost
manually, use 30% cook power. Refer to a reliable cookbook for
defrosting information.
■ Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal
results. How foods are stored can affect results.
■ Unwrap foods and remove lids (for example, from 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 the 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 Auto Defrost feature has preset times and cook powers for
3 categories: Meat, Poultry and Fish. Auto Defrost should not be
used for food that has been left outside the freezer for more than
20 minutes, or for frozen ready-made food. Use the following
chart as a guide.
To Use Auto Defrost:
1. Touch AUTO DEFROST.
The display will show the setting for defrosting Meat. Touch
AUTO DEFROST a second time for the Poultry setting, and a
third time for the Fish setting.
2. Enter the weight.
Weight can be set from 0.1 lb to 6.0 lbs (45 g to 2.7 kg).
3. Touch START.
The display will count down the defrost time.
During defrosting, 5 short tones will sound. These tones
indicate it is time to check, turn, rearrange, or separate food.
Open door, turn food if necessary, close door, and touch
START to resume defrosting.
When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder
tones.
4. Touch OFF-CANCEL or open the door to clear the display
and/or stop reminder tones.
