A high setting (10) will cook faster but may need
additional attention such as frequent stirring, rotating

on HIGH (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook
more evenly and with less attention given to stirring

Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of
frozen food and is one of the great advantages of
a microwave oven.
To become better acquainted with the defrost function,
defrost a 10 oz. package of frozen strawberries by
following the steps below.
Use the Time Defrost setting to quickly thaw foods
such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen
dinners. The Auto Defrost setting is preferred for
meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting
time and power levels for you.

Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,

Questions and Answers
Q. When I press START, I hear a dull, thumping

Arcing. Sparks caused by too much metal in the
microwave oven or metal touching the side of the

Prick Foods to Release Pressure. Steam builds up
pressure in foods that are tightly covered by a skin or

before regular oven cooking), egg yolks and chicken
livers, to prevent bursting.
Venting. After covering a dish with plastic wrap,
you vent
plastic wrap by turning back 1 comer
so excess steam can escape.
Arranging Food in Oven. When baking in regular
ovens, you position foods, such as cake layers or
potatoes, so hot air can flow around them. When
microwaving, you arrange foods in a ring, so that
all sides are exposed to microwave energy.
Rotating. Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the
oven helps food cook more evenly. To rotate 1/2 turn,
