Questions
{,
and Answers
Q. When
I press START,
I hear a
'j
dull thumping
noise. What is it?
A. This sound is normal. It is letting
you
know
the
oven
is using
a
Power Level lower than HIGH.
Q. Can I Defrost
small
items in a
hurry?
A. Yes, but they will need more fre-
quent
attention
than
usual.
Raise
the Power Level after entering
the
time by touching
POWER
LEVEL
and 7 or 10. Power Level 7 cuts the
time in %; power Level 10 cuts the
time to lA. During
either,
rotate or
stir food frequently.
Q. Can I open the door during
DE-
FROST to check
on the progress
of my food?
A. Yes. You may open the door at
any time during
microwaving.
To
resume defrosting,
close the door
and press START.
Q. Why don't
the defrosting
times
in the Cookbook
seem right for my
food?
A. Cookbook
times
are
average.
Defrosting
time can vary according
to the temperature
in your freezer.
Set
your
oven
for
the
time
in-
dicated
in your Cookbook.
If your
food is still not completely
thawed
at the end of that time, re-set your
oven
and
adjust
the
time
ac-
cordingly.
Q. When
I enter
a fourth
digit
using
Quick
Set control,
nothing
happens.

numbers.
If more

oven
does
not
respond.
Touch

and begin again.
Q. Can I select a Power Level other
than automatjc
Power
Level 3 for
defrosting?
A. Yes. Some smaller foods may be
defrosted
quicker
on higher Power
Levels
but for even, carefree
de-
frosting,
Power
Level
3 is sug-
gested.
