    1.• Press Inverter Turbo
    Defrost.
    2.• Enter weight of the
    food using the num-
    ber pads.
    3.• Press Start.

    Defrosting Tips & Techniques
    Preparation For Freezing:
    1. Freeze meats, poultry, and fish in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. Place 
    wax paper between layers.
    2. Package in heavy-duty plastic wraps, bags (labeled “For Freezer”), or freezer paper.
    3. Remove as much air as possible.
    4. Seal securely, date, and label.
    To Defrost:
    1. Remove wrapper. This helps moisture to evaporate. Juices from food can get hot and 
    cook the food. 
    2. Set food in microwave safe dish. 
    3. Place roasts fat-side down. Place whole poultry breast-side down.
    4. Select power and minimum time so that items will be under-defrosted.
    5. Drain liquids during defrosting.
    6. Turn over (invert) items during defrosting.
    7. Shield edges and ends if needed. (See Cooking Techniques).
    After Defrosting:
    1. Large items may be icy in the center. Defrosting will complete during STANDING TIME.
    2. Let stand, covered, following stand time directions on page 15.
    3. Rinse foods indicated in the chart.
    4. Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer stand time.

    Sensor Reheat   
    FeatureSensor Cook    
    Feature
    NOTE:
    Casseroles- Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of liq-
    uid, cover with lid or vented plastic wrap.
    Stir when time appears in the display win-
    dow.
    Canned foods- Empty contents into casse-
    role dish or serving bowl, cover dish with lid
    or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let
    stand for a few minutes.
    Plate of food- Arrange food on plate; top
    with butter, gravy, etc. Cover with lid or vent-
    ed plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand for
    a few minutes.
    DO NOT USE SENSOR REHEAT:
    1. To reheat bread and pastry products. Use
    manual power and time for these foods.
    2. For raw or uncooked foods.
    3. If oven cavity is warm.
    4. For beverages.
    5. For frozen foods.
    This sensor feature allows you to reheat
    precooked, refrigerated temperature food
    without setting time. The oven simplifies
    programming.This sensor feature allows you to cook
    food without setting time. The oven sim-
    plifies programming.
    BEFOREReheating/Cooking:
    1. The room temperature surrounding the
    oven should be below 95° F (35° C).
    2. Food weight should exceed 4 oz. (110 g).
    3. Be sure the glass tray, the outside of the
    cooking containers and the inside of the
    microwave oven are dry before placing
    food in the oven. Beads of moisture turn-
    ing into steam can mislead the sensor.
    4. Cover food with lid, or with vented plastic
    wrap. Never use tightly sealed plastic
    containers—they can prevent steam from
    escaping and cause food to overcook.
    DURINGReheating/Cooking:
    DO NOT open the oven door until 2 beeps
    sound and cooking time appears on the
    Display Window.  Doing so will cause inac-
    curate cooking since the steam from food is
    no longer contained within the oven cavity.
    Once the cooking time begins to count
    down, the oven door may be opened to stir,
    turn, or rearrange foods.
    AFTERReheating/Cooking:
    All foods should have a stand time.
    Example: To reheat a plate of food 
    1.• Press Sensor Reheat.
    2.(see More/Less
    Feature)

    Sensor, 2 beeps sound.
    The remaining cooking time appears in the
    display window and begins to count down.
    At the end of cooking, five beeps sound.Optional
    For the best results with the
    GENIUS SENSOR, follow these rec-
    ommendations.

    ensure the sensor will detect accurately for
    complete cooking. After 2 beeps, stir or rearrange. 
    Be careful when removing the film cover after 
    cooking. Remove away from you to avoid steam 
    burns.
    If additional time is needed, continue to cook
