Microwave Cooking

Defrosting tips

• When using CUSTOM DEFROST, the

weight to be entered is the net weight in

pounds, and tenths of pounds (the weight

of the food minus the container).

• CUSTOM DEFROST gives best results

when food to be thawed is a minimum of

0°F or colder.

• If the food is kept outside the freezer for

more than 20 minutes, and for defrosting

ready-made food, defrost by time and

power and let stand after defrosting.

• The shape of the package affects how

quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages

will defrost more quickly than a deep block.

• As food begins to defrost, separate the

pieces. Separated pieces defrost more evenly.

• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to

shield parts of food such as chicken wings,

leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get

warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the

sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil

can damage the oven lining.

• For better results, a preset standing

time is included in the defrosting time. This

may make the defrosting time seem longer

than expected. (For more information on

standing time, see “Cooking tips” in the

“Cooking Guide” section.)

Popping popcorn

POPCORN lets you pop commercially

packaged microwave popcorn by touching

just one pad. Pop only one package at a

time. If you are using a microwave popcorn

popper, follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Try several brands to decide which gives

best popping results. For best results, use

fresh bags of popcorn. Cooking performance

may vary with brand and fat content.

NOTE: If you want to add more time during

or after popping use EASY MINUTE. See

“Using EASY MINUTE” in the “Getting to

Know Your Microwave Oven” section for

more information.

1. Place bag in center of turntable

and close door.

2. Touch POPCORN.

The microwave oven will automatically

pop a 3.50 oz bag of popcorn when you

touch the Popcorn pad. If you want to

pop a different size bag of popcorn,

follow the chart below:
