Conversion Chart:
Follow the chart to convert ounces or hundredths of a pound
into tenths of a pound. To use Inverter Turbo Defrost, enter the
weight of the food in lbs. (1.0) and tenths of a lb. (0.1). If a

over, rearrange foods or shield with
aluminum foil. This feature allows you to automatically defrost foods such as: meat, poultry and seafood simply by entering the weight.
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 14.
3. Rinse foods indicated in the chart.
4. Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer stand time.
Example: To defrost 1.5 pounds of meat

Sensor Reheat
Feature
Example: To reheat a plate of food 
1.• Press Sensor Reheat.
2.• (see More/LessFeature)
(☛ page 12)
3.
After steam is detected by the Genius 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.•Press Start.
➤Cooking starts.
NOTE:
Casseroles- Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of liquid, cover with lid or
vented plastic wrap. Stir when time appears in the display win-
dow.
Canned foods- Empty contents into casserole 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  food without setting
time. The oven simplifies programming.
Sensor Cook
Feature
This sensor feature allows you to cook food without setting
time. The oven simplifies programming.
For the best results with the GENIUS SENSOR,
follow these recommendations.
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 moisture 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 the end of cooking or 2
beeps sound. Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking since the
steam from food is no longer contained within the oven cavity.
If 2 beeps sounds, the remaining cooking time will begin 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 cook Frozen Entrées
1.Press until the desired category
appears on the display window.
2.• (see More/LessFeature)
(☛ page 12)
