SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING
ARCING
If you see arcing, press the
STOP/CLEAR pad and correct
the problem.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks
in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil touching the side of the
even.

• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges
act like antennas).
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or
gold-rimmed dishes, in the microwave.
• Recycled paper towels containing
small metal pieces being used in the
microwave.

FOODS
• Do not pop popcorn in your microwave
oven unless in a special microwave
popcorn accessory or unless you
use popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.

• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars,
even with the lid off. Make sure all infant
food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to
distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to
prevent scalding when warming formula
or breast milk. The container may feel
cooler than the milk really is. Always test
the milk before feeding the baby.

SAFETY

FACT

SUPERHEATED

WATER

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea,
are able to be overheated beyond the
boiling point without appearing to be
boiling. 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 THE
CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR
A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL
IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

• Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers--for
example, closed
jars--are able to explode and should
not be heated in this microwave oven.
Such use of the microwave oven could
result in injury.

-- Do not overheat the liquid.

• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven.
Pressure will build up inside egg yolk
and will cause it to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.

--After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for a short
time before removing the container.

• Operating the microwave with no food
inside for more than a minute or two
may cause damage to the oven and
could start a fire. It increases the heat
around the magnetren and can shorten
the life of the oven.
• Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such
as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages,
tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and
other giblets, and egg yolks should
be pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.

-- Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
-- Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.

-- Use extreme care when inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the container.
• Don't defrost frozen beverages in narrownecked bottles (especially carbonated
beverages). Even if the container is
opened, pressure can build up. This can
cause the container to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.

SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING
(continued)
FOODS

(continued)

• Hot foods and steam can cause burns.
Be careful when opening any containers
of hot food, including popcorn bags,
cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent
possible injury, direct steam away from
hands and face.
• Do not overcook potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage
to your oven.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat
to at least an INTERNAL temperature
of 160°F. and poultry to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 180°F.
Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.

MICROWAVE-SAFE
COOKWARE
Make sure all cookware used in your
microwave oven is suitable for
microwaving. Most glass casseroles,
cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard
cups, pottery or china dinnerware which
does not have metallic trim or glaze with
a metallic sheen can be used. Some
cookware is labeled "suitable for
microwaving."

O

• If you are not sure if a
dish is microwave-safe
use this test: Place in
the oven both the dish
you are testing and a
How to test for a
glass measuring cup

filled with 1 cup of
water--set the measuring cup either
in or next to the dish. Microwave
30-45 seconds at high. If the dish heats,
it should not be used for microwaving.
If the dish remains cool and only the
water in the cup heats, then the dish
is microwave-safe.
• If you use a meat thermometer while
cooking, make sure it is safe for use
in microwave ovens.

• 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 also ignite.
• Some Styrofoam trays (like those that
meat is packaged on) have a thin strip of
metal embedded in the bottom. When
microwaved, the metal can bum the floor
of the oven or ignite a paper towel.
• Do not use the microwave to dry
newspapers.
• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package
for proper use.
• Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic
wrap can be used to cover dishes in order
to retain moisture and prevent spattering.
Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam
can escape.
• Cookware may become hot because of
heat transferred from the heated food.
Pot holders may be needed to handle
the cookware.
• "Boilable" cooking pouches and tightly
closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced
or vented as directed by package. If they
are not, plastic could burst during or
immed-iately after cooking, possibly
resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage
containers should be at least partially
uncovered because they form a tight seal.
When cooking with containers tightly
covered with plastic wrap, remove
covering carefully and direct steam away
from hands and face.
• Use foil only as directed in this manual.
TV dinners may be microwaved in foil
trays less than 3/4" high; remove the top
foil cover and return the tray to the box.
When using foil in the microwave oven,
keep the foil at least 1" away from the
sides of the oven.

THE VENT FAN

• Plastic cookware--Plastic cookware
designed for microwave cooking is
very useful, but should be used carefully.
Even microwave-safe plastic may not
be as tolerant of overcooking conditions
as are glass or ceramic materials and
may soften or char if subjected to
short periods of overcooking. In longer
exposures to overcooking, the food
and cookware could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
1 Use microwave-safe plastics only
and use them in strict compliance
with the cookware manufacturer's
recommendations.

The fan will operate automatically under
certain conditions (see Automatic Fan
feature). Take care to prevent the starting
and spreading of accidental cooking fires
while the vent fan is in use.
• Clean the underside of the microwave
often. Do not allow grease to build up
on the microwave or the fan filters.
• In the event of a grease fire on the
surface units below the microwave oven,
smother a flaming pan on the surface
unit by covering the pan completely
with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

2 Do not microwave empty containers.

• Use care when cleaning the vent fan
filters. Corrosive cleaning agents,
such as lye-based oven cleaners,
may damage the filters.

3 Do not permit children to use plastic
cookware without complete supervision.

• When preparing flaming foods under
the microwave, turn the vent fan on.
• Never leave surface units beneath your
microwave oven unattended at high heat
settings. Believers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite and
spread if the microwave vent fan is
operating. To minimize automatic fan
operation, use adequate sized cookware
and use high heat on surface units only
when necessary.

Grounding

CHANGING

POWER

LEVELS
/

Variable power levels add flexibility to
microwave cooking. The power levels on
the microwave oven can be compared to
the surface units on a range. High (power
level 10) or full power is the fastest way
to cook and gives you 100% power. Each
power level gives you microwave energy
a certain percent of the time. Power level
7 is microwave energy 70% of the time.
Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time.

@ ®
@ ®
® ®

A high setting (10) will cook faster but
food may need more frequent stirring,
rotating or turning over. Most cooking will
be done on High (power level 10). A lower
setting will cook more evenly and need
less stirring or rotating of the food.

How to Change the Power Level
The power level may be entered or
changed immediately after entering
the feature time for COOK TIME,
TIME DEFROST or MINUTE COOK.
The power level may also be
changed during time countdown.

Rest periods (when the microwave
energy cycles off) give time for the food
to "equalize" or transfer heat to the inside
of the food. An example of this is shown
with power level 3---the defrost cycle.
If microwave energy did not cycle off,
the outside of the food would cook before
the inside was defrosted.

1 Press COOK TIME or select
Time Defrost.
2 Enter cooking or defrosting
time.
3 Press POWER.
4 Select desired power level
1-10.
5 Press START.
