USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

22

To avoid risk of property damage:

Do not use rack to pop popcorn.

Rack must be on the four plastic supports
when used.

Use the rack only when cooking food on rack
position.

Do not cook with rack on floor of the oven.

The metal rack gives you extra space when cooking in
more than one container at the same time.

To use rack:

1. Place rack securely in the four plastic supports.

• Rack 

MUST NOT 

touch metal walls or back of

microwave oven.

2. Place equal amounts of food both 

ABOVE AND

BELOW 

rack.

• Amount of food must be approximately the same to

balance out cooking energy.

METAL RACK

• 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).

• Use 

DEFROST 

only for raw food. 

DEFROST 

gives best

results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F
(taken directly from a true freezer). If 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 (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent
cooking the food.

• If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20

minutes, enter a lower food weight.

• The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.

Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a
deep block.

• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated

pieces defrost more easily.

• You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield

foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the
foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil causes
arcing, which can damage the oven lining.

• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start

to become warm.

• For better results, a preset standing time is included in

the defrosting time.

• For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on a

microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents the
possibility of warm meat juices cooking food during
defrost.
