Suggestions for getting
the best results
•Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to
cook than the same foods would at room temperature.
•Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces
similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when
cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power
levels when cooking large pieces of food.
•Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave
energy heats water molecules very efficiently.
•Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the
outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly.
This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is
not necessary.
•Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole
cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to
expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
•Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus
tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
•Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces
or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the
outside of the turntable tray.
•Let the food stand
After removing the food from the microwave, cover the
food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish
cooking. This will help the food finish in the center and
avoids overcooking the out edges, The length of stand
time depends on the density and surface area of the food
items.
•Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper
Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-
baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the
microwave to help prevent the food items fromdrying out
while heating.
To help you achieve the best possible results from your
microwave oven, read the following suggestions below;
Heating with multiple cooking stages
Example: to cook food for 3 minutes at 80% power and
then 50% power for 6 minutes 30 seconds:

Defrosting tips
Defrosting suggestions for meats
For best results, please read these suggestions when defrosting meats.
• Roast beef or pork
• Steaks, chops or fish
• Ground meat
• Whole chicken
• Chicken pieces
Start with the food placed fat side down. After each stage, turn the
food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum
foil. Let stand, covered for 15-30 minutes.
After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed
portions of food, shield them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum foil.
Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand,
covered for about 5 to 10 minutes.
After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted.
Let stand, covered with foil for 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start defrsoting breast
side down. After the 1st stage, turn the chicken over and shield any
warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After the 2nd stage,
again shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil.
Let stand, covered, for 30 to 60 minutes in the refrigerator.
After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are
nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.
Meat Normal amount Suggestions
•When using the defrost weight feature, the weight
entered should always be pounds (valid entries are from
0.1 to 6.0 pounds).
•Use both defrost weight and defrost time features for
raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when
food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly
from a true freezer). If the food has been stored in a
refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature
of 5° F or below, always program a lower food weight or
lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.
•If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20
minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.
•The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly
than a deep frozen block of food.
•Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated
frozen pieces of food defrost better.
•Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of foil if they
start to become warm.
•You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food
items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails, but do
not allow the foil to touch the oven cavity walls when
defrosting.
