COOKING WITH MICROWAVES ONLY

Reheating tips

Cooked food and leftovers can be reheated quickly and efficiently without spoiling their freshness and taste.

Always place the dense food at the outer edges and the more porous food towards the center.

To keep food moist during reheating, cover the food with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap. Covering the food keeps heat in the food, speeds heating, and prevents spatters.

Wrap sandwiches and rolls loosely in pa- per towels to absorb moisture and prevent sogginess.

Spread food in a shallow dish if possible.

Stir and turn food as needed.

Always underestimate reheating time until you are used to the microwave oven.

NOTES:

If you do not enter a weight within two seconds, DEFROST will prompt

you to choose a weight. You then have one minute to enter a weight and touch START/ENTER. If you do not touch any pad within one minute, DEFROST will be canceled.

If you touch START/ENTER without entering a weight, three tones will sound, and the display shows “Err” for one second, followed by a prompt asking you if you want to defrost 0.1 lb. Touch START/ENTER or change the weight and touch START/ENTER. If you do not touch any pad within one minute, DEFROST will be canceled.

If you touch DEFROST 4 times, the display goes back to the Beef setting.

This chart shows you which foods you can defrost and how to program your oven to defrost them. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.
