2. Defrost can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 26.
3. To defrost other foods or foods above or below the weights allowed on Defrost Chart, use time and 30% power. See Manual Defrost on page 16.

DEFROST CHART

* Number of touched AFTER initial touch to access Defrost.

Note:

Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals are thawed.

Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.

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, you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under Time Cooking Microwave on page 15. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you select the power level.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound.

For example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the microwave 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 3 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

The Sensor is a semi-conductor device 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. It takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking.

USING SENSOR SETTINGS:

1. Room temperature should not exceed 95˚F.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. During the first part of sensor cooking, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the microwave oven door or touch Stop/Clear during this part of the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear and sensor cooking will be interrupted. To continue cooking, touch the Stop/Clear pad and select cooking time and power. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear on display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.
4. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook with variable power and time.
5. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly, ERROR will be displayed, and the microwave oven will turn off.
6. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch Help pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.
7. At the end of any cycle, open the door or touch Stop/ Clear pad. The time of day will reappear on the display.

SELECTING FOODS:

1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, food for dinner plate reheat would be at refrigerator temperature and popcorn at room temperature.
2. More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked by time and variable power.

COVERING FOODS:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the chart for these foods.

1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately ½ inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.
3. Paper towel: Use paper towels to absorb excess fat and moisture when cooking bacon and potatoes. Line the turntable when baking potatoes.
4. 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.

REHEAT

TURNTABLE ON:

You can reheat many foods by touching just one pad. You don’t need to calculate reheating time or power level. To reheat food with turntable on, simply touch the Reheat pad.

• Suppose you want to heat prepared chili.

Touch Reheat pad.

When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of reheating time will appear. After cooking, follow the instructions on the display.

TURNTABLE OFF:

You may reheat using a 11"x 8"x 2" or 13"x 9"x 2" casserole with the turntable off. First touch Turntable On/ Off and note indicator. Then touch Reheat. The display will indicate turntable off and microwave oven will start automatically. After cooking, follow the instructions on the display.

Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch Stop/Clear pad.

INTERIOR - AFTER MICROWAVE COOKING

Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.

INTERIOR - AFTER CONVECTION, MIX OR BROIL COOKING

Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease. Wash immediately after use with hot, soapy water. Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters may occur if microwave oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is long time/high temperature cooking. If so, you may wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with liquid cleaner within it—not a soap filled steel pad—for use on stainless or porcelain surfaces. Follow manufacturer's directions carefully and be especially cautious not to get any of the liquid cleaner in the perforations on the wall or ceiling or any door surfaces. Rinse thoroughly and polish dry.

WAVEGUIDE COVER

The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

ODOR REMOVAL

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in microwave oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.

TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT

The ceramic turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge as described above. They are also dishwasher-safe using top rack.

MICROWAVE OVEN RACKS

The high and low baking racks can be removed for easy cleaning and stored away from the microwave oven when racks are not needed. After each use, wash them in mild, sudsy water. For any stubborn stains, use a mild kitchen cleanser and scouring sponge as described above. They are dishwasher-proof.

The fan will automatically start when heat rises from the cooking surface and when convection, high mix, low mix or the broil settings are used. This protects the microwave oven from excessive temperature rise. The fan will stay on until the temperature decreases. It cannot be turned off manually during this time.

For other uses, select either high or low speed.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE:

1. DO NOT leave cooking surface unattended while using high temperatures. Automatic fan may start and provide excessive air to the surface units. This may cause spattering or boilover.
2. Avoid burning food.
3. Keep grease filters clean.

LIGHT

1. To replace light bulbs, first disconnect power to the microwave oven at the circuit breaker panel or by unplugging.
2. To release cover remove the screw on the light cover. (See illustration.)
3. Replace bulbs with only 20 watt and 40 watt bulbs. These are available at most hardware stores or lighting centers. The unit will be shipped with one 20 watt bulb and one 40 watt bulb. DO NOT USE A BULB LARGER THAN 40 WATTS.
4. Close light cover and secure with screw removed in step 2.

Cautions: Light cover may become very hot. Do not touch glass when light is on. Do not use light for long time use such as a night light.

GREASE FILTERS

Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the fan or microwave oven without the filters in place.

1. Pull the ring toward the front of the microwave oven, down slightly and remove the filter. Repeat for the other filter.
2. Soak the filters in a sink or dish pan filled with hot water and detergent. DO NOT use ammonia or other alkali; they will react with the filter material and darken it.
3. Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove embedded dirt.
4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.

CHARCOAL FILTER

Charcoal Filter is used for Non-vented, recirculated installation. The filter should be changed every 6 to 12 months depending on use.
