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.

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

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 sim-
plifies programming.
before Reheating\fCooking:
1. The room temperature surrounding the oven should be below 95 QF (35 QC).
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 themicrowave oven are dry before placingfood in the oven. Residual beads of mois-ture turning into steam can mislead thesensor.
4. Cover food with lid, or with vented plastic wrap. Never use tightly sealed plasticcontainers—they can prevent steam fromescaping and cause food to overcook.
during Reheating\fCooking:
DO NOT open the oven door until 2 beeps sound and cooking time appears on theDisplay Window.  Doing so will cause inac-curate cooking since the steam from food isno longer contained within the oven cavity.Once the cooking time begins to countdown, the oven door may be opened to stir,turn, or rearrange foods.
