AUTO DEFROST

AutoDefrost allows you to easilydefrost food two ways. Power levels and

Press Auto Defrost once for QUICK DEFROST. Press Auto Defrost twice for

DEFROST.

DEFROST: Use for more thorough defrosting of larger, dense frozen foods.

Ideal for items such as roasts,whole chicken and steak.

QUICK DEFROST:Use to assist in the separation of frozen pieces of

chicken, ground meats, or fish that need preparation prior to cooking.

Excellent for defrosting ground meat for use in spaghetti sauce or taco meat.

Defrosting Techniques:

•Remove freezer paper, plasticwrap or foil wrap.Placefood in a

microwave-safe dish.

•To prevent thin partsand edges from becomingtoo warmand cooking

before center of food is defrosted,shield with small pieces of aluminum

foil.

• Because some foods will still be icy in the center, it is necessary to have

standing time after defrosting the food in the oven. Food should be

taken out of the oven to complete defrosting.A longer standing time

might be required for denser foods such as roasts.

• TimedDefrosting: Use power level P30 (Medium Low). For most frozen

foods,allow approximately 5 minutes per pound. To speed up the

defrosting of dense foods over 1 Ib, you may start on P100 for2

minutes. Then reduce to the power level P30 and enter remaining time.

Note: • Maximum weight fordefrosting is 5.9 Ibs. If weight is entered at

COOKING WITH METAL RACK

Themetalrack gives you extra space when cooking more thanone

dish at thesame time.Set the metal rack on the hooks located on the

inside walls of the oven.

NOTE:The Turntable may be turned off to accommodate large dishes,See

Turntable setting on page 23.

Metal Rack Installation

1.Placethe metal rack in guides on the sidewall of oven cavity so that the

sides of the rack face downward as shown in the illustration below.

2. Place food into the oven following instructions below.

3. Set the desired cooking timeand power level.

Tips for food placement:

•Placedelicate quickcooking food on the bottom tray and longer

cooking food on the metal rack.

•Place two foods with similar cooking times on the metal rack and

onewith a shorter cooking time on the bottom tray.

•Ifall foods require the same cooking time, reverse the location of

dishes in the oven halfwaythrough cooking time.

• Rotate the dishes, rearrange or stir food halfway through cooking

for best results.

•Useplastic wrap to cover foods.

• Do not store the metal rack in the oven.

• Do not let food container or rack touch the top of the oven cavity.

• Do not use browning dish or metal container when using this

rack.

• OnlyTimedCooking can be used when cooking with metal rack.

Donot use metal rack with the Auto Sensor feature or for

defrosting.
