Preset Cooking
The microwave oven has been programmed with common

times.
NOTE:
During Popcorn function, as with all microwave cooking
functions, the microwave oven should be attended at all times.
Listen for popping to slow to 1 pop every 1 or 2 seconds, then
stop the cycle.
Use the following chart as a guide for preset cooking.
*To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use regular
paper bags or glassware. For best cooking results, do not try to
pop unpopped kernels. Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal
results. Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content. If
using a microwave popcorn popper, follow manufacturer’s
instructions.

Auto Defrost
The Auto Defrost can be used or the microwave oven can be
manually set to defrost.
■
Unwrap foods and remove lids (for example, from fruit juice
containers) before defrosting.
■
Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
■
Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the
end of the cycle for more even defrosting.
■
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such
as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See “Aluminum Foil
and Metal” first.
The Auto Defrost feature uses weight input. It should not be used
for food that has been left outside the freezer for more than
20 minutes, or for frozen ready-made food.
To Use Auto Defrost:
1.
Place food, uncovered, on the turntable and close the door.
2.
Touch AUTO DEFROST.
3.
Enter the weight in pounds and tenths of a pound. Two digits
must be used. (For example, enter “05” for 0.5 lb, or “43” for
4.3 lbs.)
Weight can be set from 0.1 lb to 6.5 lbs (45 g to 2.9 kg).
4.
Touch START.
The display will count down the defrost time.
During defrosting, 5 tones will sound. These tones indicate it
is time to check, turn, rearrange, or separate food. Open
door, turn food if necessary, close door, and touch START to
resume defrosting.
When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder
tones.
5.
Touch OFF or open the door to clear the display.
