Defrosting
tips
• When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be
entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of
pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).
• Before starting, make sure you have removed any
of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen
food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic
bands.
• Open containers such as cartons before they are
placed in the oven.
• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a
suitable container.
• 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.
• The shape of the package affects how quickly food
will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more
quickly than a deep block.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts
of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or
areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does
not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The
foil can damage the oven lining.
• For better results, let food stand after defrosting.
(For more information on standing time, see
"Microwave cooking tips" in the "Cooking Guide"
section.)
• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.
Break apart and remove food as required.
SENSOR
cooking
guide
Sensor Cook allows you to cook many of your favorite
foods without selecting cooking times and power
levels. The display will show SENSING during the
initial cook time. The oven automatically determines
the required cooking time for each food item.
When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of
humidity coming from the food, it tells the oven how
much longer to heat. The display shows the
remaining cook time. For best results from cooking by
Sensor, follow these recommendations:
3. Do not open the door or touch OFF/CANCEL
during the sensing times. When sensing time is
over, the oven beeps twice and the remaining
cook times appears on the display. At this time,
you can open the door to stir, turn or rearrange
the food.
NOTES:
•Always use microwavable containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
• Never use tight-sealing plastic covers.
