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. Inverter Turbo Defrost Feature Defrosting Tips & Techniques F00037C51AP 2006.2.5 10:57 Page 16

16 Sensor Reheat FeatureSensor Cook Feature NOTE: Casseroles- Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of liquid, cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. Stir when time appears in the display window. 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 vented 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 cooked, refrigeratedfood 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. Residual beads of mois- ture turning 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) (☛page 13) 3.•Press Start. ➤Cooking starts. Cooking is complete when 5 beeps sound. (When steam is detected by the Genius Sensor and 2 beeps sound, the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window.) For the best results with the GENIUS SENSOR, follow these rec- ommendations. Example: To cook Frozen Entrées 1. 3.•Press Start. ➤Cooking starts. Cooking is complete when 5 beeps sound.
