Bread.

2. Continue to press DEFROST to toggle among the choices
until the desired item appears on the display.
3. Press START to confirm your item selection. "Enter Weight"
will appear in the display.
4. Press the number pads to enter the weight of the item to
be defrosted. For example, if the food weight is 1.2 lbs, press
"1" and then "2" to enter the weight.
NOTE: The weight of the food item should be between 0.1 to
6.0 lbs. The maximum weight that will be accepted is 6.0 lbs.
5. Press START to begin defrosting.
Conversion Guide

Defrosting Tips
• Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the
package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced or
vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage
containers should be partially uncovered.
• Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted
and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it
to a microwave-safe dish.
• For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as roasts,
use Defrost Weight. Be sure large meats are completely
defrosted before cooking.
• Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit out for
more than an hour after defrosting. Room temperature
promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
• When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all
areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very briefly,
or let it stand for a few minutes.
REHEAT
The Reheat function is programmed to reheat the following
items: Beverage, Dinner Plate, Pizza, Soup/Sauce and
Casserole.
The Reheat function sets the appropriate heating time
automatically. Depending on the item being reheated, the
heating time is calculated by either the amount of food or
beverage (Timed Cooking) or by sensing the moisture level
of the food or beverage (Sensor Cooking).
For best results when reheating items that use Sensor
Cooking, use microwave-safe containers and cover the
containers with vented lids or vented plastic wrap.
NOTE:
• Do not use tight-sealing covers that would keep the steam
from escaping, and cause the food to overcook.
• Make sure the outside of the microwave-safe container and
the inside of the oven are dry before placing the container
in the microwave oven. Any moisture will turn into steam
which can mislead the sensors.
1. Place the food or beverage item in the microwave oven.
2. Press REHEAT once, “BEVERAGE” will appear on the
display. Continue to press
3. Press START to confirm and begin reheating.
NOTE:
• If the heating time for your item is calculated by sensing
moisture, the Sensing process begins once Start is pressed.
• Do not open the door during the Sensing process. If you do,
the Reheat program will be cancelled.
• When the Sensing process is completed, alert tones will
sound and the calculated reheat time will begin to count
down.
After removing food from the oven, stir, if possible, to even
out the temperature. If the food is not hot enough, use Cook
Time to reheat for more time. Reheated foods may have wide
variations in temperature. Some areas may be extremely hot.
It is best to use Cook Time for these foods:
• Bread Products
• Foods that must be reheated covered.
• Foods that need to be stirred or rotated during reheating.
• Foods calling for a dry look or crisp surface after reheating.
