MANUAL COOKING

Time Cooking

Your Over the Range Microwave Oven can be programmed for 99 minutes 99 seconds (99 :99). Always enter the seconds after the minutes, even if they are both zeros.

Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes, 30 seconds at 100% power,

Interrupting Cooking

You can stop the oven during a cycle by opening the door. The oven stops heating and the fan turns off, but the light stays on.

To restart cooking, close the door and Touch.

If you do not want to continue cooking, open the door and touch .

Using One Touch Start

This is a time saving pad that will automatically start cooking 2 seconds after selected. Numeric key 1, 2, or 3 can be touched for a 1 minute, 2 minute or 3 minute automatic start cooking feature.

NOTE: “Food” will be displayed if a quick start cooking cycle or +30 sec key is not selected within 5 minutes of placing food in the microwave. You must open then close the door again to clear ''Food" from the display.

Using Add 30 Sec.

This is a time-saving pad. It is a simplified feature that lets you quickly set and start microwave cooking at 100% power.

Suppose you want to cook for one minute.

Setting Timed Cooking With Power Level

This feature lets you program a specific cook time and power. For best results, there are 10 power level settings in addition to HIGH (100%) power.

Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes, 30 seconds at 80% power.

NOTE: If you do not select a power level, the oven will automatically cook at HIGH (100%) power.

Setting Two-Stage Cooking

For best results, some recipes call for different power levels during a cook cycle . You can program your oven for two power level stages during the cooking cycle.

Suppose you want to set a 2-stage cook cycle. The first stage is a 3 minute cook time at 80% cook power then a 7 minute cook time at 50% cook power.

NOTE: You can program a "0" power second stage for standing time inside the oven.

To Set Power Level

There are eleven preset power levels.

Using lower power levels increases the cooking time which is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk and long slow cooking of meats. Consult cookbook or recipes for specific recommendations.

NOTE: DO NOT STORE THE RACK IN THE MICROWAVE WHEN NOT IN USE.

Using the Rack

The rack allows several foods to be cooked or reheated at one time. However, for the best cooking and reheating, use Turntable ON function and cook with SENSOR COOKING or AUTO COOKING without the rack. When the rack is used, set time and power level manually. Allow plenty of space around and between the dishes. Pay close attention to the cooking and reheating progress. Reposition the foods and reverse them from the rack to turntable and/or stir them at least once during any cooking or reheating time. After cooking or reheating, stir if possible. Using a lower power level will assist in better cooking and reheating uniformity.

Avoid:

Storing the rack in the microwave oven when not in use.
Popping popcorn with the rack in the microwave oven.
Using any browning dish on the rack.
Using SENSOR COOKING and AUTO COOKING with the rack.
Cooking directly on the rack—use microwave-safe cookware.

NOTE: Turntable on/off function can be used in Manual Operation. See page 28.

Manual Defrost

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Defrost chart or is above or below the limits in the Amount column on the Defrost chart (see page 22-23), you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using power level 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 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 oven in 1 minute increments on power level 30% until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.

SENSOR COOKING

Sensor cooking has an electronic controlled sensor that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for various foods and quantities automatically.

Using Sensor Settings:

Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
The oven works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.
During the first part of SENSOR COOKING, food name will appear in the display. Do not open the oven door or press the STOP clear pad during this part of the cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. 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 in the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.
If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping popcorn, the 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, AN ERROR CODE will be displayed, and the oven will turn off.
Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

Covering Foods:

Some foods cook better when covered.

Casserole lid.
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.
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.

NOTES for SENSOR COOKING

The ﬁnal cooking result will vary according to the food condition (e.g. initial temperature, shape, quality). Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.
Stay near the oven while it’s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
When SENSOR COOKING is selected Turntable On is automatically set for optimum cooking.

Sensor Cook

You can cook foods by pressing the sensor cook pad multiple times. You don’t need to calculate cooking time or power level.

Suppose you want to cook frozen breakfast .

AUTO DEFROST

Using Auto Defrost

The auto defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking guide will show you which defrost sequence is recommended for the food you are defrosting.

For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food in order to get the best defrost results. Three different defrosting levels are provided:

MEAT
POULTRY
FISH

Available weight is 0.1-6.0 lbs

Suppose you want to defrost 1.2 lbs of fish.

NOTES: The oven will beep during the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food. Remove any portions that have thawed. Return frozen portions to the oven and touch to resume the defrost cycle.

Operating Tips

For best results, remove fish, shell fish, meat and poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
For best results, roll your ground meat into a ball before freezing. During the DEFROST cycle, the microwave will signal when it is time to turn the meat over. Scrape off any excess frost from the meat and continue defrosting.
Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

This table shows food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.

Weight conversion table

You are probably used to measuring food in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.

If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following table to convert the weight to decimals.

NOTES: If between two decimal weights, choose the lower weight for the best defrosting results.

Auto Defrost Table

NOTE: Meat of irregular shape and large, fatty cuts of meat should have the narrow or fatty areas shielded with foil at the beginning of the defrost sequence.

Meat Settings

Poultry Settings

Fish Settings

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 to remove any and all metal twist-ties that often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.
Open containers, such as cartons, before placing in the oven.
Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place food in a suitable container.
Slit the skin of skinned 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.
Turn over food during defrosting or standing time. Break apart and remove food as required.
