10. does not maintain a temperature of 0 F or below always program a lower food weight for a shorter defrosting time to prevent cooking the food If the food is kept outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes enter a lower food weight o If the food Is kept outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes and for defrosting ready made food defrost by time and power and let stand after defrosting 32 e The shape of the package alters the defrosting time Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block e Separate pleces as they begin to defrost Separated pieces defrost more easily e You can use small pleces of aluminum foil to shield foods like chicken wings leg tips and fish tails but the foil must not touch the side of the oven Foil can dam age the oven lining e Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm Make sure the foil does not touch the sides top or bottom of the oven e For better results a preset standing time is included in the defrosting time This may make the defrosting time seem longer than expected For more information on standing time see Microwave cooking tips in the Cooking Guide section USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN Using WARM HOLD You can safely keep hot cooked food warm in your microwave oven for up to 99 minutes 99 seconds about 1 hour 40 minutes You can use WARM HOLD by itself or to automatically follow a

12. explosion fire or burns How your microwave oven works Microwave ovens are safe Microwave energy is not hot It causes food to make its own heat and it s this heat that cooks the food Microwaves are like TV waves or light waves You cannot see them but you can see what they do A magnetron in the microwave oven Magnetron produces microwaves The microwaves move into the area under the oven floor There they bounce off the mixing antenna into the oven where they contact the food LA a Oven cavity GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN Microwaves pass through most glass paper and plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does not absorb the energy Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast The heat spreads to the center from the outer cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking This is one of the reasons for letting some foods for example roasts or baked potatoes stand for a while after cooking or for stirring some foods during the cooking time The microwaves disturb water molecules in the food As the molecules bounce around bumping into each other heat is made like rubbing your hands together This is the heat that does the cooking NOTE Do not deep fry in the oven Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures For the best cooking results A
