AUTOMATIC DEFROST BY WEIGHT
Automatic Defrost allows you to easily defrost food. Power levels and times
are automatically determined when the food weight is entered.
TOTAL DEFROST: Use for thorough defrosting of larger, dense frozen foods,
when it is important to have the center section defrosted as well as the outside.
Ideal for items such as roasts, whole chicken and steak.
QUICK DEFROST: Use to assist separation of frozen pieces of chicken or fish
that need preparation prior to cooking. Excellent for defrosting ground meat
for use in spaghetti sauce or taco meat.
Example: To thoroughly defrost a 2.5 lb Whole Chicken:

Defrosting Techniques:
• Remove freezer paper, plastic wrap or foil wrap. Place food in a microwave-safe
dish.
• To prevent thin parts and edges from becoming too warm and 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 a
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.
• The total defrost includes preset standing time.
• Time Defrosting: 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 lb, you may start on P100 for 2 minutes. Then reduce to the power
level P30 and enter remaining time.
16
p410sfc-oper.fm Page 17 Tuesday, February 23, 1999 10:29 AM
Note: • Maximum weight for defrosting is 5.9 lbs.
• The oven selects 1 lb if a weight is not entered.
• Beep tone sounds 5 times during the defrosting cycle to signal that food
should be rearranged to improve defrosting performance. The oven
continues the defrosting cycle to the end if you do not open the door.
• Food can be defrosted in a styrofoam package.

COOKING GUIDE
COOKING PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES
Advantages of microwave cooking
are speed and efficiency. For
warming, heating, and defrosting,
nothing compares. There are a few
tips that will make microwaving
easier and more enjoyable.
Microwave Cooking Principles
Because microwave cooking requires
only one-quarter to one-third the time
of conventional cooking, the same
cooking principles become even
more important.
Quantity
In microwave cooking, the cooking
time is dependent on the amount of
food in the oven. If you double the
recipe, plan on doubling the cooking
time.
Density
Dense foods, such as potatoes, need
more cooking time as they take
longer for microwave energy to
penetrate and the heat to conduct
through them.
Shape and Size
Cut food into uniform shapes and
sizes for even cooking in the
microwave. When cooking irregular
shapes (such as chicken pieces), place
the thicker parts to the outer edge of
the dish.
Moisture, Sugar and Fat
Food high in moisture, sugar or fat
cook faster. Add a minimum of liquid
to moisten foods.
An excess amount of water slows
cooking.
Starting Temperature
Frozen or refrigerated foods take
longer to microwave than food at
room temperature.
Delicate Ingredients
Delicate foods such as eggs, cheese,
mayonnaise, etc., cook very quickly,
and should be watched carefully.
Microwave Cooking Techniques
Arranging: Arrange food in a circular
pattern, with denser, thicker items at the
edge of the dish.
Piercing: Pierce the membrane of foods
such as eggs, oysters, snails, sausages,
livers, clams and whole vegetables, so
they do not burst.
Reheating: Cooked food reheats
extremely well by using a low level of
microwave energy. Place denser foods
near the outer edge of the dish when
reheating.
Covering: Most foods will cook and
reheat better when covered. Pierce
plastic wrap to vent steam.
Stirring: To help food cook more quickly
and evenly.
Turning Over: To promote more even
cooking, turn larger solid items such as
roasts or baked potatoes over halfway
through the cooking time.
Shielding: Use small, smooth strips of
aluminum foil to prevent corners, thin
or bony areas from overcooking.
Standing Time: Foods continue cooking
even after removal from the oven.
Standing time is necessary to allow
foods to complete cooking/defrosting.
Converting Recipes
Microwave recipes will likely call for
less liquid and cooking time.
Microwave Thermometers
For best results, a microwave-safe
thermometer can be carefully and
properly inserted into the food. The
guide below gives suggested
thermometer readings for meat and
poultry. Keep in mind that standing
time is essential for most food to
reach its proper serving temperature.

TIME COOKING - BAKED GOODS AND DESSERTS
Converting Recipes
If a recipe contains buttermilk or sour
cream, do not change the amount of
soda, since it serves to counteract the
sour taste and does not act only as a
leavening agent.
When adapting quick bread recipes,
you will find it necessary to reduce
the amount of leavening (baking
powder or soda) by about onequarter the normal amount. A bitter
aftertaste is apparent if too much
leavening is used in biscuits or
muffins. Since food rises higher in the
microwave oven, you will not see a
loss in volume from the reduction of
soda or baking powder.
When using a mix where leavening
cannot be reduced, allow the dough
to stand about 10 minutes before
cooking in order for some of the gas
to be lost.
Breads and rolls should be reheated
only until they are warm to the touch.
Overheating or overcooking makes
bread tough and rubbery.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it does not
work properly. What is wrong?
A. The microcomputer used in the oven control may temporarily become
scrambled and fail to function as programmed. Unplug the oven from the wall
outlet and then plug it back in. The microcomputer will then reset for proper
functioning.
Q. Why is there noise coming from the turntable when the oven is turned on?
A.This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom are dirty.
Clean the turntable roller rest cavity bottom. Frequent cleaning of these parts
should eliminate or reduce the noise.
Q. Why is there noise coming from the oven when reducing power?
A. When cooking with a power other than HI, the oven cycles to obtain the
lower power level. The clicking noise can be heard when the oven cycles on
and off. This is normal.
Q. Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?
A. Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been made to
vent this steam.
Q. What is wrong when the oven light will not glow?
A. There may be several reasons why the oven light will not grow. The light
bulb has burned out or START has not been pressed.
Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?
A. The egg yolk may pop because of steam build-up inside the membrane.
Pierce the membrane with a toothpick before cooking it. Never microwave
eggs in the shell since they may explode.
Q. How are the boil-overs avoided?
A. Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If you open the oven door or
touch STOP/CLEAR, the food will stop boiling.
CLEANING
Wipe the oven inside and outside
with a soft cloth and a mild detergent
solution. Then rinse and wipe dry.
This should be done on a weekly
basis, more often if needed. Never
use cleaning powders or rough pads.
Excessive oil splatters on the inside
top will be difficult to remove if left for
many days. Wipe splatters with a wet
paper towel, especially after cooking
chicken or bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The following parts may be removed
as described. They should be washed
in warm (not hot) water with a mild
detergent and a soft cloth. Once they
are clean, rinse them well and dry
with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning
powders, steel wool or rough pads.
• The turntable may be cleaned at
the sink. Be careful not to chip or
scratch the edges as this may
cause the turntable to break
during use.
• The turntable roller rest should be
cleaned regularly.
SPECIAL CARE
For best performance and safety, the
inner door panel and the oven front
frame should be free of food or
grease buildup. Wipe them often with
a mild detergent. Then rinse and wipe
dry. Never use cleaning powders or
rough pads.
After cleaning the control panel, press
STOP/CLEAR to clear any entries that
might have been entered accidentally
while cleaning the panel.
