OPERATING TIPS
• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic
package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap wil_hold
steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause
the outer surface of the foods to cook.
• For best result, shape your ground meat into the
form of a doughnut before freezing. When
defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep
sounds and continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow container or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
This table shows you food type selections and the
weights you can set for each type. For best
results, loosen or remove covering on food,
