Utensils & cover for sensor cooking

•To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the directions for selecting appropriate containers and covers in the charts in this book.

•Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids or with plastic wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to allow steam to escape at the proper rate.

•Always cover with the lid intended for the utensil being used. If the utensil does not have its own lid, use plastic wrap.

•Fill containers at least half full.

•Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned toward the end of the Sensor Cook cycle, after the time has started to count down on the display.

Important

•It is not advisable to use the auto sensor cooking feature on a continuous cooking operation, i.e. one cooking operation immediately after another.

•Install the oven in a well ventilated location for proper cooling and airflow and to ensure the sensor will operate accurately.

•To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto sensor when the room ambient temperature is too high or too low.

•Do not use volatile detergent to clean your oven. Moisture resulting from this detergent may affect the sensor.

•Avoid placing the oven near high moisture or gas emitting appliances, since this will interfere with the proper performance of the Auto Sensor.

•Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe all spills with a damp cloth.

•This oven is designed for household use only.

Guide for manual defrosting

Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if unexpected guests suddenly show up. Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away. Put the frozen food on a microwave-safe plate without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any liquid and remove any giblets as soon as possible. Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm. If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield by wrapping very small strips of aluminum foil around them during defrosting. Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand for 30 minutes before continuing. Leave the meat, poultry and fish to stand in order to complete defrosting. The standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table below.

Hint: Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and defrosting food. For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to -20 °C, use the following table as a guide. All frozen food should be defrosted using defrosting power level (30 %).

Food	Time (minutes per 500 g)	Standing time (min.)
Meat
Minced Meat	7-8	5-30
Pork / Beef Steaks	9-10	5-30
	Instructions
	Shield the edges with aluminum foil. Place the meat in the
	middle of microwave-safe plate, and then place the plate
	on top of the turntable in the center. Turn over after half of
	defrosting time.
