  Inverter Turbo Defrost Feature
This feature allows you to defrost foods such as: meat, poultry and seaf\
ood simply by en-
tering the weight.
NOTE: The maximum weight for Inverter Turbo Defrost is 6 lbs. (3 
kg
).
Defrosting Tips & Techniques
Preparation For Freezing:
1.  Freeze meats, poultry, and fi  sh 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 16.
3.  Rinse foods indicated in the chart.
4.  Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a long\
er stand time.

           Sensor Reheat         Feature
This sensor feature allows you to reheat 
cooked, refrigerated food without setting 
time. The oven simpli fi es programming.
Example: To reheat a plate of food
1.• Press  Sensor Reheat.

Cooking is complete when 5 beeps sound. 
(When steam is detected by the Genius 
Sensor and 2 beeps sound, the remain-
ing cooking time will appear in the display 
window.)
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 cas-
serole 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.
           Sensor Cook
         Feature
This sensor feature allows you to cook food 
without setting time. The oven simpli fi es 
programming.
Example: To cook Frozen Entrées
1.    
Press 5 times • Press until the desired 
food number appears in 
the display window.

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 remain-
ing cooking time will appear in the display 
window.)
For the best results with the
GENIUS SENSOR, follow these
recommendations.
BEFORE Reheating/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 plas- tic wrap. Never use tightly sealed plastic 
containers—they can prevent steam from 
escaping and cause food to overcook. 
DURING Reheating/Cooking:
DO NOT open the oven door until 2 beeps 
sound and cooking time appears on the Display 
Window. Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking 
since the steam from food is no longer con-
tained within the oven cavity. Once the cooking 
time begins to count down, the oven door may 
be opened to stir, turn or rearrange foods.
AFTER Reheating/Cooking:
All foods should have a stand time.
