OPERATION

FOODS

Q_ What is wrong when the oven light does not
glow?
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,

Microwave Cooking Techniques
Arranging:Arrange
foods in a circular pattern,
when possible.
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.

CONVERTING

RECIPES
• Cover appetizers or dips only when called for
by a recipe. 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°

A large variety of sandwich combinations
can
be made in your microwave oven. Because
sandwiches heat quickly, be careful not to
overcook them --the bread can become tough
and chewy. Heat breads until warm, not hot,
and cheese until it just begins to melt. Let the
following tips guide you when adapting or
creating your own sandwiches.

PREPARATION
Use a microwave-safe
baking dish, casserole,
etc. to cook meat, poultry and fish,,
Frozen meat, poultry and fish should be
completely thawed.
Wash poultry and fish in cool water.
Arrange small items in a single layer fn dish
and avoid overlapping edges of food.
Place thick sections toward edge of the dish_
Use a rack in the dish to elevate meat out of
the juices,

CHECKING DONENESS
Beef: The color inside meat indicates
doneness,, Rare roast should be red inside.,
Medium is pink and gray indicates well done
Pork: Cooked pork meat should be gray with
clear juice_
Poultry: Juices should be clear yellow when
cooked, Legs should move freely
Fish and Seafood: Should be opaque in color
and flake easily
To check internal temperature of various
meats and poultry, use a microwave or
conventional
meat thermometer
after
removing meat from the oven. insert the
thermometer
avoiding bone or fat. Lower
temperatures are found in the center of the
roast or in the muscle close to a large bone,
Never use a conventional meat thermometer
in the microwave oven,,

Use spices and seasonings as desired.
Add salt after cooking if necessary.,
Kitchen bouquet with butter may be used to
obtain "cooked" color of meats and poultry,
Aluminum foils can be used to cover thin parts
of meat or poultry wings and legs to prevent
overcooking,
Foils should be applied toward
the end of cooking time, Place meat fat side
down.

Converting Recipes
When adapting quick bread recipes, you will
find it necessary to reduce the amount of
leavening (baking powder or soda) by about
one-quarter the normal amount. 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.
