cooking, Also, avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal
utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven,
•Metal decoration:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.
• Aluminum foil:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and
may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry
legs and wings, Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side
walls of the oven cavity and door of the microwave.
•Wood:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when
you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react
in the same way,
• Tightlycovered utensils:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered
cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items
before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode,
•Brown paper:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.
• Flawed or chipped cooking utensils:
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break in the oven,
•Metal twistties:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot
and could cause a fire.

Defrosting tips
• When using the defrost weight feature, the weight
entered should always be pounds (valid entries are from
0.3 to 6,0 pounds),
Use both defrost weight and defrost time features for •
raw food items only, Defrosting gives best results when
food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly
from a true freezer), If the food has been stored in a •
refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature
of 5° F or below, always program a lower food weight or
lower cook time to prevent cooking the food, •
• If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20
minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight,
The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time,
Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly
than a deep frozen block of food.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost, Separated
frozen pieces of food defrost better,
Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of foil if they
start to become warm,
You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food
items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails, but do
not allow the foil to touch the oven cavity walls when
defrosting.
Defrosting suggestions for meats
For best results, please read these suggestions when defrosting meats.
Meat Normal amount
•Roast beef or pork 2,5 to 6 Ibs.
(40 to 96 oz.)
0.5 to 3 Ibs.
(8 to 48 oz.)
Steaks, chops or fish
Suggestions
Start with the food placed fat side down, After each stage, turn the
food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum
foil. Let stand, covered for 15-30 minutes,
After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed
portions of food, shield them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum foil,
Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted, Let stand,
covered for about 5 to 10 minutes,
•Ground meat 0,5 to 3 Ibs, After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted,
(8 to 48 oz,) Let stand, covered with foil for 5 to 10 minutes,
• Whole chicken 2.5 to 6 Ibs.
(40 to 96 oz.) Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start defrsoting with the
breast side down. After the 1st stage, turn the chicken over and
shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After the
2nd stage, again shield any warm portions with narrow strips of
aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for 30 to 60 minutes in the
refrigerator.

Suggestions for getting
the best results
To help you achieve the best possible results from your
microwave oven, read the following suggestions below;
• Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to
cook than the same foods would at room temperature,
Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones, Pieces
similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when
cooked together. For more even results, reduce the
power levels when cooking large pieces of food,
•Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave
energy heats water molecules very efficiently,
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the
outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly.
This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is
not necessary.
Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole
cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help
to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
•Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus
tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces
or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the
outside of the turntable tray,
Let the food stand
After removing the food from the microwave, cover the
food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish
cooking, This will help the food finish in the center and
avoids overcooking the out edges, The length of stand
time depends on the density and surface area of the food
items,
Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper
Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-
baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the
microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out
while heating.

Cooking eggs in your microwave
Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hard-
cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting,
Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if
overcooked,
17
Cooking vegetables in your microwave
Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.
Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such
as potatoes, carrots and greens are being cooked, add
about _¼cup of water,
Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc,)
will cook faster than larger vegetables.
Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or
corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the
turntable before cooking. The will cook more evenly if
turned over halfway through cooking.
Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli
with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish
and the tips toward the center,
When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with
a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash,
eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several
locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole
vegetables halfway through the cook time.
Most of the time, the denser the food the longer the
required standing time. For example, a baked potato
should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of
peas may be served immediately.
Cooking seafood in your microwave
Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish, Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily
with a fork, Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming, And be sure

Care&Cleaning
Cleaning suggestions
For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven
clean inside and outside, Take special care to keep the
inner door panel and oven fron frame free of food and grease
build-up,
Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the
microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a
soft cloth and and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution,
Then rinse and wipe completely dry,
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel,
especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon,
Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if needed,
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your
microwave oven:
• Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles
and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing
the oven to work less efficiently.
• Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth
and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh detergents or
abrasive cleaners.
To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2
cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to
keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass
at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in
oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when
cleaning the oven cavity or tray, To prevent the glass
turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put
it in water immediately after cooking, Wash the turntable
tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher,
Clean the outside surface of the microwave with soap
and a clean damp cloth, Dry with a clean soft cloth. To
prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do not
let water seep into any vents or openings,
• Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and
water. Be sure to use a soft clean cloth to avoid
scratching,
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door,
wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when
operating the oven in high humidity and in no way
indicates microwave leakage.
Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity;
this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You
may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven
when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.
