During multistage cooking, you may use Add A Minute to
increase any stage's cooking time. When the stage you
want to change is active, touch ADD A MINUTE.
During the last stage, you may also touch COOK A BIT
MORE to increase the cooking time. Cook A Bit More
increases the last stage's remaining cooking time by
adding a percentage of the last stage's expired cooking
time.
•
If the last stage is Micro Time, you may use Cook A Bit
More after cooking. Within 1 minute after cooking, open
the oven door to check for doneness. Then close the
oven door and touch COOK A BIT MORE. The food will
cook for a percentage of the last stage's cook time using
the last stage's cook power level.

You may set up Warm Hold to follow multistage cooking,
and you may use Cook A Bit More with Warm Hold.
However, Warm Hold uses low cook power and lasts up
to 99 minutes.

The Defrost feature can be used, or the microwave oven can be
manually set to defrost by using 20% cook power.
•
Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal
results.
•
Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before
defrosting.
Remove any metal twist-ties and replace them
with strings or elastic bands.
•
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a suitable
container.
•
Slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging. Slit the skins, if
any, of frozen food such as sausage.
•
Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.
•
Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food is still
icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more
defrosting.
•
The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly
the food is frozen.
•
Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
•
Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the
end of cycle for more even defrosting.
•
Foods left outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes or
frozen ready-made food should not be defrosted using the
Custom Defrost feature, but should be defrosted manually.
•
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.
