QuestmsdAnswers
QWhen Ipress START, Ihear
8dull thUXllp@ noise What is it?
A. This sound is normal. It is
letting you know the oven is using a
power level lower than 10(High).
Q. CanIdefkostsmall itemsin
a hurry?
A. Yes,but they will need more
frequent attention than usual. Raise
the power kwel after entering the
time by touching the desired power
level pad. Power level 7cuts the
total defrosting time about in 1/2;
puwerlevel 10cutsthetotaldehXing
time to approximately 1/3. During
either, rotate or stir fd frequently.
QWqydon’tthedefmsting
times in the cookbook seem right
fw my fd?
A. Cookbook times are averages.
Defrosting time can vary according
to the temperature in your fkeezer.
Set your oven fix the time indicated
in your cookbook. If your fd is
still not completely thawed at the
end of that time, reset your oven
and adjust the time accordingly.
QShouidaliftibe
Compktely thawed before
cooking?
A. Some fds should not be
completely thawed before cooking.
For example, fish cooks so quickly
it is better to begin cooking while it
is still slightly tin.
QCan Iopenthedoorduring
Time Defrost to check on the
P~ of my f~?
A. Ym. Youmay open the door at
any time during microwming. ‘Ib
resume defrosting, close the door
and press STA~. The oven begins
operating if time is left on timer.
If not, reset timer.

Cooking byTemperature
Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many fa.
Temp Cook/Hold takes the
guesswork out of cooking because
the oven automatically switches
to Hold setting after reaching
the preset food temperature and
maintains that temperature for up
to one hour or until you touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
The ‘lkmperature Probe
HA~OLE CASLE
The temperature probe is afti
thermometer that gauges the
internal temperature of your fd;
it must be used when using Temp
Cook/Hold or Auto Roast. To
utilize your probe properly, follow
directions for use and insertion in
this book in the Automatic
Roasting section.
