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.

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 31-32), you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked,

by using power level for 30%.

Safety

Instuctions

MaterialsPart Names

Operation

Maintenance

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food cook

approximately

minutes

for 1 pound of

4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4

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:

1. 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.

2. The oven works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.

3. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.

4. 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 meas urement 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.

5. 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.

6. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

Speciﬁcations

Instuctions

Safety

Covering Foods:

You may use the following to cover your foods:

1. Casserole lid.

2. 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.

3. 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

1. 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.

2. Stay near the oven while it’s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.

3. When SENSOR COOKING is selected Turntable On is automatically set for optimum cooking.

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:

1. MEAT

2. POULTRY

3. FISH

Available weight is 0.1-6.0 lbs

• Suppose you want to defrost 1.2 lbs of ﬁsh.

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 food 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 the weight of food 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.
