Ao There may be several reasons why the oven light does not glow. Perhaps: • Door is not closed and locked Push firmly to be sure that door is locked properly. • The light bulb has burned out. Qo What is wrong when baked foods have a hard, dry brown spot? A. This is caused by overcooking. Shorten cooking or reheating time Why do eggs sometimes pop? A_ The egg yolk may pop because of steam build-up inside the membrane,. To prevent this, simply pierce the membrane with a toothpick before cooking it CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shefl since they may explode, e_ Q. Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust vent? A, Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been made to vent this steam.. Q_ Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry after cooking? A, Eggs dry out if they are overcooked. You may need to vary the cooking time for one of these reasons: • Eggs vary in size, = Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator temperature another time • The shapes of utensils vary, which makes it necessary to vary cooking time. o Eggs continue cooking during standing time.. Q. Can the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty? A. Yes° Never operate while empty or without the turntable positioned correctly on the roller rest° When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it might not work properly What is wrong? A_ When the oven is plugged in for the first time or when power resumes after a power interruption, the microcomputer used in the oven control may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed Unplug the oven from the walt outlet and then plug it back in, The microcomputer wilt then reset for proper functioning. Q., What is wrong when three potatoes bake thoroughly and the fourth one is still not cooked? Ao The fourth potato may be slightly heavier than the others and should be cooked 30 to 60 seconds Ionge_. Remember to allow one inch (2.5 cm) around each potato when baking For more even cooking, place potatoes in a circle e_ Q° Why do 1see light reflection around the outer case? A. This light is from the oven light located outside the oven cavity. Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking? Am The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As in regular cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands during the cooking process. e_ Why is there noise coming from the turntable when the oven is turned on? A_ This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom are dirty° Frequent cleaning of these parts should eliminate or reduce the noise O_ How are boil-overs avoided? A. Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking, Q. Instructions for aluminum foil use are confusing. When should I use foil? A. It should be used to shield portions of food from becoming overcooked or overdefrosted Use small flat pieces of foit for shielding. if you open the oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR, the food wit! stop boiling Q. Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it? A, As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat into the dish Use hot pads to remove food after cooking 21 o Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution, Then rinse and wipe dry This should be done on a weekly basis - more often if needed, Never use cleaning powders or rough pads, Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult to remove if left for many days., Wipe spatters with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon,. o SPECIAL CARE For best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food or grease buildup,, Wipe them often with a mild detergent, Then rinse and wipe dry, Never use cleaning powders or rough pads REMOVABLE PARTS The following parts may be removed as described, They should be washed in warm (not hot) water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean, rinse them well and dry with a soft cloth, Never use cleaning powders, steel wool or rough pads After cleaning the control panel, touch STOPICLEAR to clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel, If the microwave oven still does not work properly, contact the nearest authorized service center You can often correct operating problems yourself if your microwave oven fails to work properly, locate the operating problem in the chart below and try the solutions marked for each problem Oven will not start X X X , , : Err displays 1 : I : X :1 . × : X x Unevenly cooked foods Overcooked foods Undercooked I × Arcing or sparking Incorrect time The turntable may be cfeaned at the sink Be careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause the turntable to break during use° The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly, x ' I foods Improper defrosting x :, : ....

Piercing: Pierce the membrane of foods such as eggs, oysters, snails, sausages, tivers, clams and whole vegetables, so they do not burst.. Covering: Covering speeds heating and prevents spattering Stirring: To help food cook more quickly and evenly Turning Over: To help larger foods such as roasts or whole chickens cook more evenly. Reheating: Place food that is denser/larger/ thicker to the outer edge and the smaller/thinner or more porous food to the center, Shielding: To prevent overcooking, thin or bony areas can be protected with small strips of aluminum foil. Standing Time: Foods continue cooking even after removal from the oven. Standing time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking. Advantages of microwave cooking are speed and efficiency. For warming, heating, and defrosting, nothing compares. There are a few tips that will make microwaving easier and more enjoyable. Microwave Cooking Principles Because microwave cooking requires only one-quarter to one-third the time of conventional cooking, the same cooking principles become even more importanL Quantity The more food being cooked, the longer you wilt have to cook it. As a general rule, when doubling a recipe, increase the cooking time by about 50 percent When cutting a recipe in half, reduce the time by about 40 percent.. Density Dense foods, such as potatoes, roasts and carrots, absorb microwave energy less quickly than porous foods such as ground beef or mashed potatoes.. Therefore, denser foods take longer to cook. Defrosting The microwave's ability to defrost is one of its most appreciated features Many of the same principles and techniques that apply to microwave cooking also apply to microwave defrosting Shape and Size Small pieces cook faster than large ones For even cooking, it is important to have all the pieces the same size. Evenly shaped pieces, round or doughnut shaped, microwave best When cooking items of varying thickness, arrange the thick portion near the outer edge of the dish.. Converting Recipes Microwave recipes will likely call for less liquid and cooking time Moisture, Sugar and Fat Food high in moisture, sugar or fat cook faster than foods that are low in these substances, Add a minimum of liquid to moist foods. An excess amount of water slows cooking Microwave Thermometers For best results, a microwave_safe thermometer can be carefully and properly inserted into the food, The guide to internal temperatures gives suggested thermometer readings for meat and poultry Keep in mind that standing time is essentiaI for most food to reach its proper serving temperature,, Starting Temperature Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to microwave than food at room temperature Delicate Ingredients Some foods require special attention when cooked in the microwave oven.. Delicate foods such as eggs, cheese, mayonnaise, etc cook so quickly, they should be watched carefully.

Use casserole lids, wax paper, plastic wrap, or paper towel.. Most hot appetizers adapt welI to microwave cooking, the exception being those wrapped in pastry. Pastry requires the hot environment of the conventional oven to become crisp_ • Appetizers and dips that contain cheese, mayonnaise and other delicate ingredients are usually heated on power level 1. A higher setting might ca use separation or d ryi ng, o Toppings for canap6s can be made ahead and then placed on bread or crackers just before heating This guarantees a crispness° Reheating Guide - Convenience item Appetizers Approx.

A bitter aftertaste is apparent if too much leavening is used in biscuits or muffins° Since food rises higher in the microwave oven, you will not see a loss in volume from the reduction of soda or baking powder. When using a mix where leavening cannot be reduced, a!lowthe dough to stand about 10 minutes before cooking in order for some of the gas to be lost. Breads and roils should be reheated only until they are warm to the touch.. Overheating or overcooklng makes bread tough and rubbery.. if a recipe contains buttermilk or sour cream, do not change the amount of soda, since it serves to counteract the sour taste and does not act only as a leavening agent.
