accordance with the provided

installation instructions.

Some products such as whole eggs

and sealed containers, for example,

closed glass jars, may explode and

should not be heated in this oven.

Do not store or use this appliance

outdoors. Do not use this product

near water, for example, near a

kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or

near a swimming pool, and the like.

52Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

13 Keep cord away from heated

surfaces.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

14 Do not let cord hang over edge of 18

table or counter.

15 When cleaning surfaces of door and

oven that come together when

closing the door, use only mild, non-

abrasive soaps or detergents applied

with a sponge or soft cloth.

1_ To reduce the risk of fire in the oven

v cavity:

(a) Do not overcook food. Carefully

attend appliance if paper, plastic or

other combustible materials are

placed inside the oven to facilitate

cooking.

(b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or

plastic bags before placing bag in

oven.

ignite, keep oven door closed, turn

oven off, and disconnect the power

cord, or shut off power at the fuse or

circuit breaker panel.

(d) Do not use the cavity for storage

purposes. Do not leave paper

products, cooking utensils or food in

the cavity when not in use.

17 Do not use this microwave oven to

heat corrosive chemicals (for

example, sulfides and chlorides).

Vapors from such corrosive

chemicals may interact with the

contact and springs of the safety

interlock switches thereby rendering

them inoperable.

Keep the waveguide cover clean at all

times. Wipe the oven interior with a

soft damp cloth after each use. If you

leave grease or fat anywhere in the

cavity it may overheat, smoke or even

catch fire when next using the oven.

Never heat oil or fat for deep frying

as you cannot control the

temperature and doing so may lead

to overheating and fire.

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea

are able to be overheated beyond

the boiling point without appearing to

be boiling due to surface tension of

the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling

when the container is removed from

the microwave oven is not always

present. THIS COULD RESULT IN

VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY

BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON

OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED

INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the

risk of injury to persons:

a) Do not overheat the liquid.

b) Stir the liquid both before and

halfway through heating it.

c) Do not use straight-sided

containers with narrow necks.

d) After heating, allow the container

to stand in the microwave oven for

a short time before removing the

container.

e) Use extreme care when inserting

a spoon or other utensil into the

container.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

General Use

Do NOT attempt to tamper with or make any

adjustments or repairs to door, control panel or

any other part of the oven. Do NOT remove

outer panel from oven. Repairs should only be

done by qualified service personnel.

Do NOT operate the oven empty. The

microwave energy will reflect continuously

throughout the oven if no food or water is

present to absorb energy.

If a fire occurs in the oven, touch the

Cancel/Stop button and LEAVE THE DOOR

CLOSED. Disconnect the power cord, or shut

off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

For FURTHER INFORMATION on proper

cooking utensils, refer to the COOKING GUIDE

on page 14.

Food

Never use your microwave oven for HOME

CANNING. The oven is not designed to permit

proper canning. Improperly canned food may

spoil and be dangerous to consume.

2COOKING 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.

Do NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other

materials in the oven. They may catch on fire. 3

5Do 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.

It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER 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.

SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with

LOW MOISTURE content can burn, dry out or

catch on fire if cooked too long.

Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is

packaged on) have a thin strip of metal

embedded on the bottom. When microwaved, LJ

the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite

a paper towel. U

Avoid inserting nails, wire, etc. through any

holes in the unit during operation. Never insert

a wire, nail or any other metal objects through

the holes on the cavity or any other holes or

gaps, because such objects may cause electric

shock and microwave leakage.

Utensils

METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic

rims should not be used. Arcing may occur.

METAL TWIST-TIES may not be used in the

microwave oveR.

Do NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW

NECK bottles for cooking or reheating. They

may shatter.

Do NOT use CONVENTIONAL THERMO-

METERS in the microwave oven. They may

cause arcing.

Do NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may

build up and the eggs may explode.

Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acorn

squash and sausage are some examples of

food with NONPOROUS SKINS. These must

be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.

POPCORN must be popped in a microwave corn

popper. Microwave popped corn produces a lower

yield than conventional popping. Do not use oven

for popcorn unless popped in a microwave

approved popcorn utensil or unless it's

commercially packaged and recommended

especially for microwave ovens. Do not use oil

unless specified by the manufacturer.

Do NOT attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.

HEATED LIQUIDS can ERUPT if not mixed with

air. Do not heat liquids in your microwave oven

without first stirring.

Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS before

cooking or defrosting foods in the oven.

This appliance must be grounded, in the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of

electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having

a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and

grounded.

THE PRINCIPLES OF MICROWAVE COOKING

Microwavesare a form of highfrequency radio waves similar to those used by aradio includingAM, FMand CB.

Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube. From the magnetron tube, microwave

energy is transmitted to the ovenwhereit is reflected, transmitted and absorbed by the food.

Reflection

Microwavesare reflected by metaljust as a ball is bouncedoff of a wall. For this reason, metal utensils are not

suitablefor use in the microwave.A combinationof stationaryinteriorwalls anda rotatingmetal turntableorstirrer fan

helpsassurethat the microwavesare well distributedwithinthe oven cavityto produceevencooking.

Transmission

Microwavespass 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

microwaveovencookingcontainers.

Absorption

During cooking, microwaveswill 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

vigorouslyrubyour handstogether,you will feel heat producedby friction.The internalcookingof larger foodsis done

by conductionas the heatwhich is producedby friction isconductedto the middle of the food. Foodsalso continueto

cook byconductionduringstandingtime.

FOOD CHARACTERiSTiCS

Quantity: The amount offood placed in a microwave oven has a directeffect 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 speedcooking, cut piecessmallerthantwo inches(5 cm), so microwaves

can penetrate to the middle from allsides. Pieces which are similar in size and shape cook moreevenly.

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 towardthe center of the dish

and thicker pieces towardthe edge of the dish.

StartingTemperature: Frozen or refrigeratedfoods take longer to cook than foodsat room temperature.

Bone and Fat: Becausebones conduct heat, the side of the meat the bone is on will cook first, while bonelesscuts cook

slower but more evenly.Fat attracts microwaves.The middle of these foodsare 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 excesswater slowscooking.

Density: The density of food determines how easily the microwavescan penetrate and how quickly it will cook. Porous

foods, like choppedbeef or mashed potatoes,microwave faster than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes.

Piercing: Steam builds up pressurein foods which aretightly covered by a skin or membrane. Piercepotatoes,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 notburnor stick,so there'sno need tostirconstantlyas youdo inconventionalcooking.

Arrangement:Arrange foods with thin or delicate ends, like drumsticks or asparagusspears, 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

distanceapart. When possible, arrangefoods in a circular pattern. Similarly,when placingfoods in a baking dish, arrange

aroundthe outside of the dish, not linedup nextto eachother. Food shouldnot be stackedon top of each other.

Rearrangement: Rearrangeoverlappingareas, liketails of longfish fillets,from top to bottom,and closelypacked pieces,like

meatballs,from the outsidetothe centerof the dish.

StandingTime: Standing time is especially importantin microwavecooking. Microwave energy creates heat in the outer

layers of the food. Asa result of normalconduction,the foodcontinues to cook for afew minutesafter removalfrom the oven.

HOT SNACKS AND APPETIZERS

Hot hors d'oeuvresand appetizerscan be prepared very quickly in the oven by the hostess,or individualservings may be

preparedby 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 refreshin theoven at serving time. A plateof appetizerswill

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.

Appetizersthat havea crisp pastryexterior are best preparedin a conventionaloven.

To prepare appetizers wrapped in bacon, it will be necessary to precook the bacon and then wrap around the foods.

Oysterswrapped in bacon are easier to preparein the broiler of your conventionalrange.

Seafood mixtures can be prepared in serving shells as microwave energy will pass through the seafood shells without

heating. Aluminum foil should not be usedfor 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 appetizerswill 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.

POULTRY

Guide for Cooking Poultry

Chicken is one of the most popular foods and microwaving chicken is one of the best uses of your

microwave oven. Chicken stays juicy and tender in the microwave oven. However, juiciness prevents

browning because chicken crisps and browns only when the skin dries out enough to change color.

Standing time is important, because it allows the interior to finish cooking without toughening the delicate

breast meat.

SEAFOOD

Guide for Cooking Seafood

Microwaving is one of the easiest and most efficient ways of preparing fish and seafood, which stay

delicate and tender with quick, moist cooking. Overeooking dries out and toughens seafood, so you

should check it after the minimum time. If thick pieces like fish steaks or lobster tails are done on the

outside, but still slightly translucent in the middle, let them stand for a few minutes; internal heat will

complete the cooking.

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 Fresh Vegetables

Nutrition research indicates that many microwaved vegetables and fruits lose less water soluble vitamin C

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.

SAUCES

Guide for Cooking Sauces

Sauces boil over rapidly, especially those that contain milk. As soon as the door is opened, cooking stops.

if ingredients are net taken directly from the refrigerator, cooking time will be less than given in the recipe.

Stir sauce quickly, about every 30 seconds to eliminate lumps. Be sure to use a container twice the size of

the amount of liquid to prevent boiling over.

A wooden spoon may be left in the dish while sauce is cooking for easy stirring. If sauce is stirred slowly,

cooking time may require about 15 seconds longer, if desired, a 1 quart glass measure may be used to

prepare some sauces.

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.

Dry Casserole Mixtures

Many prepared box type casseroles are available on the grocery shelves. Many have freeze dried foods or

evaporated foods included. Cooking periods are so short there may not be time for the foods to absorb the

moisture sufficiently and reconstitute the foods. To prepare this type, boil the amount of water recommended

on the package. Add the noodles (when included), cover and cook for approximately 10 minutes. Allow

noodles to stand covered for an additional 10 minutes, rinse with warm water and drain. Then follow

package directions for preparing the mix. Reheat four to six minutes before serving.

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.

PASTA & GRAINS

Guide for Cooking Pasta and Grains

Raw long grain rice takes time to rehydrate. Microwaving time is a little shorter than conventional, but the

greatest advantage is the ease with which you can prepare fluffy rice without sticking or burning. Cooked

rice and pasta reheat easily in the microwave oven without loss of flavor or texture. No extra water is

needed to prevent sticking or drying, so there's no danger of overcooking rice and pasta or thinning

sauces.

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 usewith 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 (dependingon 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 mashedpotatoesafter defrosting isstarted, 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.

IndividualFrozenFoods

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 removedeasily. 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.

FrozenFoods inCooking 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 cookingtime. Place the

cut side down on a serving dish (withno metaltrim). Heat foods other than vegetables for about three minutes. Frozen

vegetables require about eight to nine and a half minutes of cookingtime. 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 overeookingof the sauce around the edgesof

the dish.

Complete Meals from Table Leftovers

Complete mealsfrom leftoverscan be prepared in advance. Foods can be frozen and ready for quick heating in theoven

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 moreeven 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

There's always time to make dessert with a microwave oven. Fruit desserts have a remarkably fresh

flavor and texture. Microwaved cakes are higher and more tender than conventienally baked; since

cakes are usually frosted, browning is unimportant. Microwaved pie crusts are exceptionally tender and

flaky, while delicate custards and puddings are easy to prepare.

Baking

,, Bar cookies work best. Greasing or lining of the microwaveable baking dish is optional.

,, If insufficient browning disturbs you, frost, glaze or add food coloring to white or yellow batters.

,, A microwaveable cookie sheet can be made by covering cardboard with waxed paper.

,, Round glass baking dishes, and fluted or smooth microwaveable ring molds work best for cakes. You

can make a microwaveable 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 oven, choose a recipe with cornmeal, whole wheat flour, or

rye flour to achieve a richer color.
