MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the 
DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in
the AMOUNT column on the DEFROST CHART, you
need to defrost manually. 
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ- 
ously cooked, by using 30% power level. See page 9.
Estimate defrosting time and press  POWER LEVEL pad
8 times when you select the power level. 
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule 
of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For
example, defrost 4 minutes for 2-3 cups of casserole or
1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce. 
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or sepa- 
rate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not de-
frosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, pro-
gram the oven in 1 minute increments at 30% until to-
tally defrosted. 
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost 
only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to
place in a microwave-safe dish.
PROCEDURE
The popcorn setting automatically provides the correct cook- 
ing time for most brands of microwave popcorn. See the
chart below.

corn.

OTHER CONVENIENT FEATURES
Exterior
Interior
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door 
open to inactivate the oven during cleaning.
Exterior
The outside surface is painted. Clean the outside with mild soap 
and water; wipe with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of house- 
hold or abrasive cleaner.
Door
Wipe the window on both sides with a soft damp cloth to remove 
any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped 
frequently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other 
harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
Touch Control Panel
Wipe the panel with a soft cloth dampened slightly with water 
only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemi- 
cal cleaners. Close door and touch  STOP/CLEAR pad.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior 
surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or 
spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft 
damp
cloth
. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR
SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild 
soap; wipe clean with a soft 
damp cloth. NEVER SPRAY OVEN
CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE OVEN.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires special care. Keep
the waveguide cover clean to assure good oven performance. Carefully 
wipe with a soft damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the 
cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and 
cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.
Odor Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the oven. To re- 
move, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon 
and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil 
for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in oven until 
cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
Turntable / Turntable Support
The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. 
Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser 
and a non-abrasive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof. 
Use upper rack of dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, 
so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.
