COOKING
TIMES given in the cooking
guide
are approximate.
Factors
that may affect
cooking
are starting
temperature,
altitude,
volume, size and shape of food and utensils
used. As you become familiar
with the oven,
you will be able to adjust for these factors.

It is better to UNDERCOOK

THAN
OVERCOOK
foods. If food is undercooked,
it can
always be returned to the oven for further cooking.
If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always
start with minimum cooking times.

Do NOT use recycled paper products. Recycled
paper towels,
napkins
and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or
ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon
filaments should be avoided, as they may ignite.
Some styrofoam
trays (like those that meat is
packaged
on) have a thin strip
of metal
embedded
on the bottom. When microwaved,
the metal can burn the floor

1. Steady, flat location: When positioningthe microwaveoven, it shouldbe seton a steady, flatsurface.
2. Ventilation: Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause
oven failure. For proper ventilation, keep three inches of space between the oven's top, sides, rear and the area where
the unit is to be installed.
3. Radio and TV reception: Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a
TV, radio,antenna, or antenna wire. Positionthe oven as far from them as possible.
4. Temperature and moisture: Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or splashing liquids when choosing a place to
locate it, otherwise, the unit's operation may be adversely affected, causing it to break down.
5. Power supply:
* Check your local power source. This microwaveoven requires a 120V, 60Hz power supply.
* Use a receptacle that will accept the ground prong.
A. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
B. Longercord sets or extension cords are availableand may be used if care is exercised intheir use.
C. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire
cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
6. Examine the oven for any damage such as: Dents, a misaligned door, broken door or a dent in the cavity. If any of
the above are visible, DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT. Notify the dealer immediately.

THE PRINCIPLES OF MICROWAVE COOKING
Microwavesare a form of highfrequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio includingAM, FM and CB.
Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube. From the magnetron tube, microwave
energy is transmitted to the ovenwhere it is reflected, transmitted and absorbed by the food.
Reflection
Microwaves are reflected by metal just as a ball is bounced off of a wall. For this reason, metal utensils are not
suitablefor use in the microwave.A combinationof stationaryinteriorwalls anda rotatingmetal turntable or stirrer fan
helpsassure that the microwavesare well distributedwithinthe oven cavityto produceeven cooking.
Transmission
Microwaves pass through some materials such as paper, glass and plastic much like sunlight shining through a
window. Because these substances do not absorb or reflect the microwaveenergy, they are ideal materials for
microwaveovencooking containers.
Absorption
During cooking, microwaves will be absorbed by food. They penetrate to a depth of about 3/4 to 1 1/2 inches.
Microwaveenergyactivatesthe moleculesin the food (especiallywater, fat and sugar), and heat is produced. If you
vigorouslyrub your handstogether,you will feel heat producedby friction.The internalcooking of larger foods is done
by conductionas the heatwhich is producedby friction is conducted to the middle of the food. Foodsalso continueto
cook byconductionduringstandingtime.

FOOD CHARACTERiSTiCS
Quantity: The amount of food placed in a microwave oven has a direct effect on the cooking time. Small amounts of food
or liquid require less cooking time than larger amounts of the same substance. As quantity increases, concentration
decreases.
Size: Small piecescook faster than largeones. To speed cooking, cut pieces smallerthantwo inches (5 cm), so microwaves
can penetrate to the middle from all sides. Pieces which are similar in size and shape cook more evenly.
Shape: Many foods are uneven, like a chicken, ribs or broccoli. The thin parts will cook faster than the thick parts, while
uniformly thick foods cook evenly. To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin pieces toward the center of the dish
and thicker pieces toward the edge of the dish.
StartingTemperature: Frozen or refrigeratedfoods take longer to cook than foods at room temperature.
Bone and Fat: Because bones conduct heat, the side of the meat the bone is on will cook first, while boneless cuts cook
slower but more evenly. Fat attracts microwaves.The middle of these foods are cooked by heat conduction.
Moisture Content: Microwaves are attracted by moisture. Naturally moist foods absorb microwaves better than dry ones.
Add a minimumof liquid to moist foods, as excess water slowscooking.
Density: The density of food determines how easily the microwaves can penetrate and how quickly it will cook. Porous
foods, like chopped beef or mashed potatoes, microwave faster than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes.
Piercing: Steam builds up pressure in foods which are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg yolks
and chicken livers to prevent bursting.

MICROWAVE TECHNIQUES
Stirring: Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking to equalize heat and speed microwaving.
Foodswill not burn or stick,so there's no need to stirconstantlyas you do inconventionalcooking.
Arrangement: Arrange foods with thin or delicate ends, like drumsticks or asparagus spears, with the thick or tougher
portions to the outside of the dish. The parts which need more cooking will receive more energy, so food will microwave
evenly.
Spacing: Individual foods, such as baked potatoes and cupcakes will cook more evenly if placed in the oven an equal
distance apart. When possible, arrange foods in a circular pattern. Similarly,when placing foods in a baking dish, arrange
aroundthe outside of the dish, not linedup next to each other. Food shouldnot be stacked on top of each other.
Rearrangement: Rearrangeoverlappingareas, liketails of long fish fillets,from top to bottom,and closelypacked pieces,like
meatballs,from the outsideto the centerof the dish.
Standing Time: Standing time is especially important in microwavecooking. Microwave energy creates heat in the outer
layers of the food. As a result of normalconduction,the foodcontinues to cook for a few minutesafter removalfrom the oven.
Letting roasts, large whole vegetables, casserolesand cakes stand to finish cooking allows the middles to cook completely
without overcooking,drying or tougheningthe outsides.

HOT SNACKS AND APPETIZERS
Hot hors d'oeuvres and appetizers can be prepared very quickly in the oven by the hostess, or individual servings may be
prepared by guests.
Many appetizers may be cooked on the serving platter, provided the platter does not have metal trim. A time saving tip prepare these foods ahead of time, refrigerate or freeze, and refresh in the oven at serving time. A plate of appetizers will
take only seconds to prepare or refresh.
Cheese melts very rapidly and will toughen if overcooked, so watch foods combined with cheese closely so that
overcooking will not occur. As soon as cheese starts to bubble, cooking is completed.
Appetizers that have a crisp pastry exterior are best prepared in a conventional oven.
To prepare appetizers wrapped in bacon, it will be necessary to precook the bacon and then wrap around the foods.
Oysters wrapped in bacon are easier to prepare in the broiler of your conventional range.
Seafood mixtures can be prepared in serving shells as microwave energy will pass through the seafood shells without
heating. Aluminum foil should not be used for shells.
If spreads are placed on crackers, care should be taken not to overcook as moisture from the food will cause crackers to
become soggy. Crackers used for spreads should be very dry and crisp. This helps avoid sogginess. Heat only until
spread is at serving temperature.
The time required to heat all appetizers will depend on the amount of food, and the numberand the type of dish selected.
Remember the food will become very hot even if the dish is cool. Cheese mixtures retain heat longer when heated with
microwave energy.

MEATS
Guide

for Cooking

Meats

Roasts, chops, hamburgers and small cuts of tender meat cook beautifully in the microwave
oven. Most
roasts can be cooked rare, medium rare or even well done in less than one hour. Less tender cuts of
meat such as pot roast can be simmered fork tender in a sauce or gravy. Tough cuts that require slow
cooking will do better in the conventional
range or oven. A large piece of meat, especially if the shape is
uneven, should be turned over occasionally
for uniform roasting.

EGGS & CHEESE
Guide for Cooking

Eggs & Cheese

CHEESE

Cheese melts quickly and smoothly. When serving cheese as an appetizer, flavor is at peak when served
at room temperature.
Use a low power level for melting. Cheese melts best when shredded and heated
with milk or other liquids. Stir cheese mixtures several times for even heating.
EGGS
Eggs cook differently by microwave. The high fat content of egg yolks absorb energy, so yolks cook faster
than whites. It's easy to poach eggs in a microwave oven, but if you want soft yolks, remove eggs from the
oven before whites are completely
cooked. A brief standing time allows whites to set without overcooking
yolks. Check eggs for completion of cooking early, they toughen when overcooked.
When eggs and yolks are mixed together
for omelets,
scrambled
eggs or custards,
they cook more
evenly and need less stirring than during conventional
cooking methods.
Do not try to cook eggs in the shell. Steam can build up inside the shells, causing them to burst.

VEGETABLES
Guide for Cooking
Nutrition

research

Fresh Vegetables

indicates

that many

microwaved

vegetables

and fruits lose less

water

soluble

vitamin

than when cooked conventionally.
This is due to shorter cooking time and to the fact that less cooking water is
needed when microwaving
fruits and vegetables.
Best of all, vegetables
keep their fresh color, texture and
flavor. Vegetables
should be microwaved
covered with vented plastic wrap or a casserole
lid. Vegetables
cooked in their skins, such as potatoes, are already so tightly covered that they should be pricked with a fork
before cooking
in order to release excess steam. To assure even cooking,
vegetables
should
be cut in
uniform pieces and stirred during the cooking
time. Always add salt to water before adding vegetables.
Reduce time a minute or two for crisp-tender
texture. Increase time for very soft texture. Remember
to allow
standing time of two to five minutes after cooking because, as most foods do, vegetables
will continue to cook
after they are removed from the microwave
oven.

CASSEROLES
Casseroles
may require occasional
stirring to distribute
heat. They cook more evenly when made with
ingredients
of similar size and shape. Because
of their shorter cooking
time, casseroles
cooked in the
microwave
oven generally
need less liquid. Casseroles
with cream and cheese sauces, or meats which
need slower cooking to tenderize, cook best on power level 40.
When cooking a favorite casserole,
make two and freeze the second for future use. Line a casserole
or
baking dish with plastic wrap. Transfer the cooked food to the lined container
and freeze. As soon as the
food is frozen in the shape of the dish, remove it and wrap with freezer paper. Later it can be unwrapped
and returned to the container for defrosting and heating.

SANDWICHES,

iNCLUDiNG

HAMBURGERS

AND HOT DOGS

Guide for Heating Sandwiches
Sandwiches
heat very quickly because, being porous, they have a low density. Since the filling is usually
more dense than the bread or rolls, the filling determines
the heating time. Surprisingly,
the filling will
always be hotter than the bread feels. Care must be taken not to overcook
as the bread will become
tough. Use several thin slices of meat. Thin slices heat more quickly and are better than one thick slice.
The slow heating thick slice often causes the bread to overcook before the meat is hot. Sandwiches
may
be placed on a paper plate, napkin or paper towel to be warmed. The sandwich should be covered with a
paper towel. Remove wrapping immediately
after warming. Already-baked
frozen breads and rolls may be
used for sandwiches.
The filling, however, should be thawed first. Toasted bread is fine for sandwiches
and provides a firm base. The toast is warmed only; no further browning occurs.

CONVENIENCE FOODS
Frozen

Foods

A large variety of frozen foods, special dishes and dinners are available and the selections continue to increase. The
market is changing rapidly, therefore it is impossible to list the foods and types available and recommend cooking
procedures. In this book we can only give general directions to assist you.
T.V. Dinners
To prepare a T.V. dinner, follow the maker's instructionsfor use with microwave ovens. To cook a T.V. dinner will require
approximately five to seven minutes for the food to thaw and heat to serving temperature (depending on the types of
food). Allow plastic wrap to remain over the dish for two minutes to allow heat to equalize. Dinners that contain mashed
potatoes have presented a bit of a problem due to the large compact mass of this particular food. You may want to
remove about half the mashed potatoes after defrosting is started, then spread the remainingpotatoes over the individual
section of the tray. Heat the removed mashed potatoes in an individual dish. For foods that should be crisp when cooking
is completed, removethe plastic wrap and use the broiler of a conventional range to crisp the food.

IndividualFrozen Foods
These may be commercially prepared or frozen at home. Place the container of frozen food in the oven and heat only
until the food starts to defrost and can be removed easily. Empty contents into a casserole or serving dish and continueto
defrost and heat. Do not heat foods in deep foil containers. To crisp and brown special toppings, use the broiler of a
conventional range. If allowed to heat to serving temperature in a plastic container, the container will warp or melt from
the high heat of food.

Frozen Foods in Cooking Pouches or Boilable Bags
To prepare these foods, slit the plastic bag. An X-type cut will help remove the food at the end of cooking time. Place the
cut side down on a serving dish (with no metal trim). Heat foods other than vegetables for about three minutes. Frozen
vegetables require about eight to nine and a half minutes of cooking time. Allow the pouch bag to remainover the food for
about two minutes to allow time for the heat to equalize. Foods prepared in cheese or white sauce should be removed
from the pouch and placed in a glass casserole dish and stirred to prevent overeooking of the sauce around the edges of
the dish.
Complete Meals from Table Leftovers
Complete mealsfrom leftoverscan be prepared in advance. Foods can be frozen and ready for quick heating in the oven
at any time. Choose foods suitable for freezing and put serving portions on paper, glass or china (no metal trim) plates.
Wrap with recommended freezer paper and freeze quickly. When apportioning the servings of food on the plate, use
approximately the same amount of each kind of food for more even heating. Mashed potatoes will heat quicker if spread
slightly and hollowed, with a pat of butter in the center. To prevent small pieces of vegetables, corn, peas, etc., from
dehydrating during heating, mound well near the center of the plate.

DESSERTS

ring mold of your own by placing a medium-size
glass in the center of a
round glass baking dish.
Because your cakes will rise higher in microwave
cooking, never fill microwaveable
cake pans more
than half full.
Reduce baking powder and soda by approximately
one-fourth when converting
a conventional
recipe.
Fill paper-lined muffin cups to only half full which allows for muffins to rise more than normal.
You can prepare your own "brown 'n serve" breads and rolls by baking them ahead of time in the
microwave
oven. Then, place them in a conventional
oven to brown prior to serving.
Breads and rolls should be reheated to the point where they are warm to the touch. Overheating
or
overcooking
makes bread tough and rubbery.
When making yeast bread in a microwave
rye flour to achieve a richer color.
