Defrosting Tips
•
When using Defrost, the weight to be entered is
the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the
weight of the food minus the container).
•
Before starting, remove the metal twist-ties which
often come with frozen food bags, and replace
them with strings or elastic bands.
•
Open containers such as cartons before they are
placed in the oven.
•
Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from
its original wrapping paper or plastic package.
Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close
to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of
the foods to cook.
•
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place the
food in a suitable container.
•
Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as
sausage.
•
Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even
defrosting.
•
Place foods in a shallow container or in a
microwave roasting dish to catch the drippings.
•
Always underestimate defrosting time. Food
should still be somewhat icy in the center when
removed from the oven. If defrosted food is still icy
in the center, return it to the upper oven for more
defrosting.
•
The length of defrosting time varies according to
how solidly the food is frozen.
•
Depending on the shape of the food, some areas
may defrost more quickly than others.
•
The shape of the package affects how quickly food
will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more
quickly than a deep block.
•
As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces to
defrost them more easily.
•
Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.
Break apart and remove food as required.
•
For best results, shape ground meat into the form
of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,
scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and
continue defrosting.
•
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts
of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails,
or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil
does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the
oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.
•
For better results, let food stand after defrosting.
Sensor Operation
Sensor Cook reheats favorite foods without selecting
cooking times and power levels.
The oven automatically determines required cooking
time for each food item. When the internal sensor
detects a certain amount of humidity coming from
the food, it tells the oven how much longer to heat.
The display shows the remaining heating time. For
best results when sensor cooking, follow these
recommendations.
•
Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature.
•
The glass tray and the outside of the container
should be dry to assure best cooking results.
•
Foods should always be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.
•
Do not open the door or touch Clear/Off during the
sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven
beeps and the remaining cooking time will appear
in the display window.
At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or
rearrange the food.
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good sensor cooking results.
•
Always use microwavable containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
•
Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
•
Match the amount to the size of the container.
Fill containers at least half full for best results.
•
Be sure the outside of the cooking container and
the inside of the upper oven are dry before placing
food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into
steam can mislead the sensor.
Using Sensor Cook
Use Sensor Cook to heat common microwave-
prepared foods without needing to program times and
power levels. Sensor Cook has preset programs for 9
food categories. See the Sensor Cook table for more
information.
