Questions and Answers
Q. When I press START,
I hear a
dull thumping
noise. What is it?
A.
This sound is normal. It is let-
ting 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
frequent attention than usual. Raise
the Power Level after entering the
time by touching the desired power
level pad. Power Level MED cuts
the time about in %; Power Level
HIGH cuts the time to approxi-
mately
1/3.
During either, rotate or
stir food frequently.
Q.
Can I open the door during
DEFROST
to check on the pro-
gress 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 indicated
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 accordingly.
Q.
Can I select a Power Level other
than automatic
Power Level LOW
for defrosting?
A. Yes.
Some smaller foods may be
defrosted quicker on higher Power
Levels but for even, carefree
defrosting, Power Level LOW is
suggested. Check the chart in the
Cookbook for specific times and
Power Levels.
