OPERATING TIPS
•For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
•For best results, shape your ground meat into the form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
•Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
This table shows you food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.
