Adding moisture
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in
moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat
disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
General tips
• Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter foods.
Foods with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power level to
avoid becoming tough.
• Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking time.
When using a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and check the
food occasionally to prevent overcooking.
• Foods with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot dogs, should be
pierced to prevent bursting.
• Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended. Fat and oil can
suddenly boil over and cause severe burns.
• Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly inside a
jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in mind to avoid
burns.
• Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because
all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating
process.
• Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat from the
food is often transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when
removing food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same.
• Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can heat
to very high temperatures. Keep this in mind to avoid injury.

Utensils & cover for sensor cooking
• To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the directions for
selecting appropriate containers and covers in the charts in this book.
• Always use microwave-safe containers. If you covered lids or plastic wrap on
the food, the cooking result will be poor. because sensor cook performance
is decided by temperature of food.
Important
• It its not advisable to use the auto sensor cooking feature on a continuous
cooking operation, i.e. one cooking operation immediately after another.
• Install the oven in a well ventilated location for proper cooling and airflow and
to ensure the sensor will operate accurately.
• To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto sensor when the room ambient
temperature is too high or too low.
• Do not use volatile detergent to clean your oven. Moisture resulting from this
detergent may affect the sensor.
• Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe all spills with a damp cloth.
• This oven is designed for household use only.

Guide for manual defrosting
Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any
metal ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain
away. Put the frozen food on a microwave-safe plate without cover. Half
way through the defrosting cycle, turn the poultry over, drain off excess
liquid, and remove any giblets. Check the food occasionally to make sure
that it does not feel warm. If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food
start to warm up, they can be shield by wrapping very small strips of
aluminum foil around them during defrosting. Should the poultry start to
warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand for 30
minutes before continuing. Leave the fish, meat, and poultry to stand in
order to complete defrosting. The standing time for complete defrosting will
vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table at the
next page.
