POWER LEVEL
BEST USES
A high setting (10) will cook faster but may need
additional attention such as frequent stirring, rotating
or turning over. Most of your cooking will be done
on HIGH (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook
more evenly and with less attention given to stirring
or rotating the food. Some foods may have better
flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower
settings is used. You may wish to use a lower power
level when cooking foods that have a tendency to
boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.

FAN
This microwave oven has an automatic fan feature to
protect it from too much heat rising from the
or range beneath it. It automatically turns on at a low
speed if it senses too much heat.
The fan will automatically turn off when the
parts are cool. It may stay on for 30 minutes or more
after the range and microwave controls have been
turned off.
If you have turned the fan on you may find that you
cannot turn it off. This is because the automatic fan
has come onto protect the internal parts of the

Defrosting Tips
●
For even defrosting, some foods need to be
broken up or separated part of the way through
the defrosting time.
●
Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted
in the package. Tightly closed packages should be
slit, pierced or vented, AFTER food has partially
defrosted, as directed by package. Plastic storage
containers should be at least partially uncovered.

Questions and Answers
Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?
Q. When I press START, I hear a dull, thumping

the time by touching the desired power level pad.
Power Level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in
about 1/2; Power Level 10 cuts the total defrosting
time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or

AUTO DEFROST
Auto Defrost
The oven calculates defrosting
time and changes power levels
during defrosting to give even
defrosting results.
With the Auto Defrost feature,
the oven automatically sets the
defrosting times and power
levels for you.
Use the Auto Defrost Guide.
Enter the food weight in pounds
and tenths of a pound (see
Conversion Guide). Then
touch the START pad.
How to Set Auto Defrost
Before you begin, check the guide located at front
of oven when you open the door. It shows minimum
and maximum food weights for a variety of foods.
You will need to know your food weight before

After Auto Defrosting, meat needs to stand in order to
let the inside defrost. You may take the food out of the
oven if you wish. Stand time recommendations are
