All food should be precooked and at refrig- erator temperature. To use sensor reheating:

1 Press Sensor Reheat. The display will show “REHEAT” and the oven will start automatically.

If you want to adjust the heating time, use the More/Less buttons. See page 15 for the More/Less buttons. If you want to check the current time while reheating, press the Clock button.

6.0lbs. You can also use the number buttons to enter the weight of the food directly. The oven calculates the defrosting time and starts automatically. Twice during defrosting, the oven will beep and the display will read “TURN THE FOOD OVER”.

MICRO
