MANUAL
DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST TABLE or
is above or below the limits in the Amount
column on the DEFROST TABLE,
you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost
any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked,
by using
Power Level for 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure
found under TO
SET POWER LEVEL. Estimate defrosting
time and press Power Level pad
eight times for 30%.
For either raw or previously
cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is
approximately
4 minutes per pound. For example,
defrost
4 minutes for 1
pound of frozen spaghetti
sauce.
Always
stop the microwave
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 microwave
oven in 1 minute
increments
on Power Level 30°/'0 until totally
defrosted.
When using plastic containers
from the freezer, defrost only long enough
to remove food from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe
dish.

Special Features
SENSOR COOKING
The Sensor is a semi-conductor
device that detects the vapor
(moisture
and humidity)
emitted from the food as it heats,
and then adjusts the cooking
times and power level for
various foods and quantities.
Using Sensor Settings:
1.
After microwave
oven is plugged
in, wait 2 minutes
before using SENSOR COOKING.
2.
Be sure the exterior
of the cooking
container
and the
interior of the microwave
oven are dry. Wipe
off any
moisture with a dry cloth or paper
towel.
3.
The microwave
oven works with foods at normal
storage temperature.
For example,
popcorn
would
be
at room temperature,
frozen dinner would be at freezer
temperature.
4.
Any SENSOR COOKING
selection
can be programmed
with More or Less Time Adjustment.
See page 16.
5.
More or less food than the quantity
listed in the
Sensor Cooking
Table should be cooked
following
the
guidelines
in any microwave
cookbook.
6.
During the first part of SENSOR COOKING,
food
selection
name will appear
on the display.
Do not
open the microwave
oven door or touch Stop/Clear
during this part of the cooking
cycle. The measurement
of vapor will be interrupted.
If this occurs, an error
message will appear.
To continue
cooking,
touch the
Stop/Clear
pad and cool< manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food_ remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may
be opened when remaining cooking time appears on the
display. At this time_ you may stir or season food_ as desired.
7.
If the sensor does not detect vapor properly
when
popping
popcorn,
the microwave
oven will turn off:, and
the correct
time of day will be displayed.
If the sensor
does not detect vapor properly
when cooking
other
foods, ERROR will be displayed,
and the microwave
oven will turn off:.
8.
Check food for temperature
after cooking.
If additional
time is needed,
continue
to cook manually.
9.
Each food selection
pad has a cooking
hint. Touch Help
pad when the HELP indicator
is lighted
in the display.
IMPORTANT
OPERATION
NOTE: You must touch a Sensor
Cooking
pad within
3 minutes of opening
and closing the
oven door at the beginning
of a new cooking
cycle.
If you
do not, the pad wiii not work until you touch Stop/Clear.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered.
Use the cover
recommended
in the SENSOR COOKING
TABLE for these
foods.
1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap:
Use plastic wrap recommended
for
microwave
cooking.
Cover dish loosely; allow
approximately
1/2 inch to remain uncovered
to allow
steam to escape.
Plastic wrap should not touch food.
3.Wax
paper: Cover dish completely;
fold excess wrap
under dish to secure. If dish is wider
than paper, overlap
two pieces at least one inch to cover.
Be careful
when removing
any covering
to allow steam to
escape away from you.
EXAMPLE:
You can cool< many foods by touching
just one pad. You
don't need to calculate
cooking
time or power level.
° Suppose you want to reheat chili.
Touch Reheat pad.
When sensor detects the vapor emitted
from the food,
remainder
of reheating
time will appear.
