•Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.
•For better results, let food stand after defrosting. (For more information on standing time, see “Micro- wave cooking tips” in the “Cooking Guide” section.)
•Turn food over during defrosting or standing time. Break apart and remove food as required.

NOTES:
•Each time you touch ADD MINUTE, it will add 1 minute.
•You can enter ADD MINUTE only after closing the door or after touching OFF/CANCEL.
•You can only use ADD MINUTE to start the oven if no other cooking function is running.
