Microwave Features
Defrost
The Defrost feature can be used, or the microwave oven can be
manually set to defrost by using 20% cook power.
n
Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before
defrosting. Remove any metal twist-ties and replace them
with strings or elastic bands.
n
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a suitable
container.
n
Slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging. Slit the skins, if
any, of frozen food such as sausage.
n
Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.
n
Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food is still
icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more
defrosting.
n
The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly
the food is frozen.
n
Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
n
Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the end
of a cycle for more even defrosting.
n
Foods left outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes or
frozen ready-made food should not be defrosted using the
Custom Defrost feature, but should be defrosted manually.
n
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such
as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See the “Aluminum
Foil and Metal” section first.
Steam Cook
Steam Cook is a sensor cooking function that uses microwaves
to steam food. Use Steam for foods such as vegetables, fish and
potatoes.
n
Times and cooking powers have been preprogrammed for
steaming a number of food types.
n
Use a microwave-safe steamer.
n
Use 1/2 cup (125 mL) water or as directed in the steamer

Popcorn
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 one pop every 1 or 2 seconds, then
stop the cycle.
n
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use regular
paper bags or glass utensils.
n
Pop only one package of popcorn at a time.
n
Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using a microwave
popcorn popper.
n
For best cooking results, do not try to pop unpopped kernels.
n
Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal results.
n
Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content.

The microwave oven uses the sensor to determine sizes that
can be popped: 1.75–3.5 oz (50–99 g) bags.

Preheating and Oven Temperature
Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle,
the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven
will take approximately 12 to 17 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C)
with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the
oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The
preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual
oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset
the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This
ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven,
will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when
the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat
before the tone sounds.
Rapid Preheat
Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only
one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid
Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting. The
preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the
oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts
a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for one-rack
baking.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed
to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly
hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the
oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven
which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is
recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in
the non-convection bake mode to improve oven performance.
