Touch	Display	Wight Range
Defrost x1	MEAT	0.1~6.0 lbs
Defrost x2	POULTRY	0.1~6.0 lbs
Defrost x3	FISH	0.1~6.0 lbs

DEFROSTING TIPS

• When using the defrost weight feature, the weight entered should always be pounds (valid entries are from 0.1 to 6.0 pounds).
• Use both defrost weight and defrost time features for raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a true freezer). If the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5°F or below, always program a lower food weight or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.
• If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.
• The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated frozen pieces of food defrost better.
• Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.
• You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails, but do not allow the foil to touch the oven cavity walls when defrosting.

DEFROSTING SUGGESTIONS FOR MEATS

For best results, please read these suggestions when defrosting meats.

Meat	Normal amount	Suggestions
Roast beef or pork	2.5 to 6.0 lbs. (40 to 96 oz.)	Start with the food placed fat side down. After each stage, turn the food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered for 15-30 minutes.
Steaks, chops or fish	0.5 to 3.0 lbs (8 to 48 oz.)	After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed portions of food, shield them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Ground meat	0.5 to 3.0 lbs (8 to 48 oz.).	After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil for 5 to 10 minutes.
Whole chicken	2.5 to 6.0 lbs. (40 to 96 oz.)	Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start defrosting with the breast side down. After the 1st stage, turn the chicken over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After the 2nd stage, again shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for 30 to 60 minutes in the refrigerator.
Chicken pieces	0.5 to 3.0 lbs. (8 to 48 oz.)	After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.

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 tem-perature. 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 micro-wave 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 pad during this part of the cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupt ed. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may the opened when remain ing 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 pop-ping 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 E-04 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.

COVERING FOODS

Some foods cook better when covered.

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.

SUGGESTIONS FOR GETTING THE BEST RESULTS

To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below;

• Storage temperature
  Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods would at room temperature.
• Size
  Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.
• Natural moisture
  Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.
• Stirring
  Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.
• Turn over items
  Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
• Food placement
  Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
• Food arrangement
  Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.
• Let the food stand
  After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish in the center and avoids overcooking the out edges. The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.
• Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper
  Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items from drying out while heating.
