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 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 AUTO COOKING with the rack.
Cooking directly on the rack—use microwave-safe
cookware.

Do not store the rack in the microwave when not in use

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:
Available weight is 0.1-6.0 lbs
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.

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

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 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.
