Gettin to Know Your

Microwave Oven

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the

basics you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you

use your oven.

How your microwave oven works

Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It Magnetron

causes food to make its own heat, and it's this heat that cooks

the food.

Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light waves. You

cannot see them, but you can see what they do.

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves. The

microwaves move into the oven where they contact food as it

turns on the turntable.

The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves

pass through. Then they bounce off a metal floor, back through oven cavity

the glass turntable, and are absorbed by the food. Metalfloor Glassturntable

Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics

without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does not

absorb the energy.

Radio interference

Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is

interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:

• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.

• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

• Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.

• Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver are on

different branch circuits.

For the best cooking results

•Always cook food for the shortest cooking time recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking. If

needed, touch Add Minute while the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is over (see the "Using

add minute" section).

• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all recipes.

This will help make sure the food is evenly cooked.

• If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or plastic

wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.

Cookware guide

Most heat resistant, nonmetallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test

cookware before using,follow these steps:

1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1cup (250ml) water ina glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.

3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

Operating safety precautions

•Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open.

• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the heat from the food can make the

container hot.

• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper inthe oven.

• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven.

• Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty. Product life may be shortened. Ifyou practice programming

the oven, put a container of water in the oven. Itis normal for the oven door to look wavy after the oven has

been runningfor a while.

• Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it allows

microwaves to pass through it.

• Do not operate the microwave oven unless the glass turntable is securely in place and can rotate freely. The

turntable can rotate in either direction. Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the oven. Handle your

turntable with care when removing it from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your turntablecracks or

breaks, contact your dealer for a replacement.

• When you use a browning dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least 3/16 inch above the turntable.

Followthe directions supplied with the browning dish.

• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst,

and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases, poached eggs have

been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into

them.

•For best results, stir any liquid several times during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain

containers (especially containers shaped like cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out

with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can

harm you or damage the microwave oven.

•Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads to the center from the outer, cooked

areas just as in regular oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for example, roasts or

baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the cooking time.

• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficultto maintain appropriate

deep-frying temperatures.

• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm

because they will continue cooking during standing time. After microwaving, let potatoes stand for 5

minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

Electrical connection

I If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a

qualified electrician check your electrical system. I

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Amount of food

•Ifyou increase or decrease the amount of food

you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will

also change. For example, if you double a recipe,

add a little more than half the original cooking time.

Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more

time insmall increments.

Starting temperature of food

• The lower the temperature of the food being put

into the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook.

Food at room temperature will be re-heated more

quickly than food at refrigerator temperature.

Composition of food

• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated

faster than food containing a lot of water. Fat and

sugar will also reach a highertemperature than

water in the cooking process.

• The more dense the food, the longer it takes to

heat. "Very dense" food like meat takes longer to

heat than lighter, more porous food like sponge

cakes.

Size and shape

• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger

pieces. Also, same shaped pieces cook more

evenly than different-shaped pieces.

• With foods that have different thicknesses, the

thinner partswill cook faster than the thicker parts.

Place the thinner partsof chicken wings and legs in

the center of the dish.

Stirring, turning foods

•Stirring and turning foods spreadsheat quicklyto

the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the

outer edges of the food.

Covering food

Cover food to:

•Reduce splattering

•Shorten cooking times

•Keepfood moist

You can use any covering that lets microwaves pass

through. See "Getting to Know Your Microwave

Oven" for materials that microwaves will pass

through.

Releasing pressure in foods

•Several foods (forexample:baked potatoes,

sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly

covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up

under the membrane during cooking, causing the

food to burst. To relieve the pressureand to prevent

bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a

fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.

Using standing time

• Always allow food to stand either in or out of oven

after cooking power stops. Standing time after

defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to

evenly spread throughout the food, improving the

cooking results. For inside oven standing time, you

can program "0" power sencond stage of the

cooking cycle. See Two-Stage Cooking.

• The length of the standing time depends on how

much food you are cooking and how dense it is.

Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes

you to remove the food from the oven and take it to

the serving table. However,with large, denser food

item, the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes.

Arranging food

For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You

can do this in several ways:

• If you are cooking several items of the same

food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring

pattern for uniform cooking.

• When cooking foods of uneven shapes or

thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the

smaller or thinner area of the food towards the

center of the dish where it will be heated last.

• Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.

• When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the

skin - this prevents cracking.

• Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides

of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.

Arcing is a spark that can cause damage to the

oven interior.

Using aluminum foil

Metal containers should not be used in a microwave

oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you

have purchased food which is prepackaged in an

aluminum foil container, refer to the instructionson

the package. When using aluminum foil containers,

cooking times may be longer because microwaves

will only penetrate the top of the food. If you use

aluminum containers without package instructions,

follow these guidelines:

;ii!!;i;!!!;_iii!!;iii!_i_ii!_'ii!!!!_!!!iii!!!i!!!i!!iii!i!!!i_'i_!i:ii!_iii!_i'!i_ii!i'i_i'i!i!i!!!i_i'i'i_!!!!iiiiiiiiilii!iiiliii!!iii!!_!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS (CONT.)

Using aluminum foil (cont.)

•Place the container in a glass bowl and add some water so that it covers the bottom of the container, not

more than 1/4in, (.64 cm) high, This ensures even heating of the container bottom.

• Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the oven,

• Use only undamaged containers,

• Do not use containers taller than 3/4 in. (1.9 cm),

• Container must be at least half filled,

• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1/4in, (.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the walls of

the oven and also between two aluminum containers.

• Always place the container on the turntable,

• Shield with small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg

ends of poultry.

•Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually takes up to double the time compared to reheating in

plastic,glass, china, or paper containers,

The time when food is ready will vary depending upon the type of container you use,

• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so that heat is spread evenly throughout container.

Cooking you should not do in your microwave oven

•Do not do canning of foods in the oven, Closed glassjars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven,

• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc,), It is difficultto keep the oven at the

high temperature needed for sterilization,

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS

For best results, some recipes call for different cook

powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the

cooking. Each number from 1 to 9 stands for a

different percentage of full cook power.

The following chart gives the percentage of cook

power each number pad stands for, and the cook

power name usually used.

Italso tells you when to use each cook power. Follow

recipe or food package instructions if available.

NOTE: Referto a reliablecookbook for cooking times

based on the 1000 Watt cook power of your microwave

oven.

COOK Power LEVEL WHEN TO USE IT

100% of full power High • Quickly heating convenience foods and foods with

high water content, such as soups and beverages.

• Cooking tender cuts of meat, ground meat, or

chicken.

9 = 90% of full power • Heating cream soups.

8 = 80% of full power • Heating rice, pasta, or casseroles.

7 = 70% of full power Medium-High • Cooking and heating foods that need a

Cook Power lower than high (for example,

whole fish and meat loaf) or when food is

cooking too fast.

• Reheating a single serving of food.

6 = 60% of full power • Cooking that requires special care, such as cheese

and egg dishes, pudding, and custards.

• Finishing cooking casseroles.

5 = 50% of full power Medium • Cooking ham, whole poultry, and pot roasts.

the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open the door and

turn, separate, or rearrange the food.

Remove any portions that have thawed.

Return frozen portions to the oven and touch

START to resume the defrost cycle.

OPERATING TIPS

• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and

poultry from its original closed paper or plastic

package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold

steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause

the outer surface of the foods to cook.

• For best results, shape your ground meat into the

form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,

scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and

continue defrosting.

• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave

roasting rack to catch drippings.

This table shows you food type selections and the

weights you can set for each type. For best

results, loosen or remove covering on food.

FOOD TOUCH WEIGHTS YOU

Auto Defrost CAN SET

Poultry 2 0.1 to 6.0 (45g to 2.7 kg)

Fish 3 0.1 to 6.0 (45g to 2.7 kg)

Bread 4 0.1 to 1.0 (45g to 450g)

Weight conversion table

You are probably used to food weights as being in

pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for

example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in

order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you must

specify pounds and tenths of a pound.

If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a

pound, you can use the following table to convert the

weight to decimals.

DEFROSTING TIPS HOLD WARM

• When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered

is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds

(the weight of the food minus the container).

• Before starting, make sure you have removed any

of the metal twist-tieswhich often come with frozen

food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic

bands.

•Open containers such as cartons before they are

placed in the oven.

• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.

• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a

suitable container.

• Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as

sausage.

• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even

defrosting.

• Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted

food is still icy in the center, return it to the

microwave oven for more defrosting.

• The length of defrosting time varies accordingto

how solidly the food is frozen.

• The shape of the package affects how quickly food

will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more

quickly than a deep block.

• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts

of food such as chicken wings, legtips, fish tails, or

areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does

not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The

foil can damage the oven lining.

• For better results, let food stand after defrosting.

(For more information on standing time, see the

"Microwave Cooking Tips" section).

• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.

Break apart and removefood as required.

You can safely keep hot, cooked food warm in your

microwave oven for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds

(about 1 hour, 40 minutes). You can use Hold Warm

by itself, or to automatically follow a cooking cycle.

Example: To use the hold warm.

To make Hold Warm

automatically follow another cycle:

• While you are touching in cooking instructions,

touch Hold Warm before touching START.

• When the last cooking cycle is over, you will hear

two tones. "Hold Warm" will come on while the oven

continues to run.

• You can set Hold Warm to follow Auto Defrost,

Cook, or two-stage cooking.

NOTES:

• Hold Warm operates for up to 99 minutes, 99

seconds.

• Opening the oven door cancels Hold Warm. Close

the door and touch Hold Warm, then touch

START if additional Hold Warm time is desired.

• Food cooked covered should be covered during

Hold Warm.

• Pastry items (pies,turnovers, etc.)should be

uncovered during Hold Warm.

• Complete meals kept warm on a dinner plate should

be covered during Hold Warm.

• Do not use more than one complete Hold Warm

cycle (about 1 hour, 40 minutes). The qualityof

some foods will suffer with extended time.

Using Sensor Cooking

SENSOR COOKING

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite

foods without selecting cooking times and power

levels. The oven automatically determines required

cooking time for each food item. When the internal

sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming

from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to

heat. The display will show the remaining heating

time. For best results by Sensor, following these

recommendations.

• Food cooked with the sensor system should be at

normal storage temperature.

• Glass Tray and outside of container should be dry

to assure best cooking results.

• Foods should always be covered looselywith

microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper or a lid.

• Do not open the door or touch the "STOP/Clear"

key during the sensing time. When sensing time is

over, the oven beeps twice and the remaining

cooking time will appear in the display window. At

this time you can open the door to stir, turn or

rearrange the food.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure

good Sensor cooking results.

• Always use microwavable containers and cover

them with lids or vented plasticwrap.

• Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can

prevent steam from escaping and cause food to

overcook.

• Matchthe amount to the size of the container.

Fill containers at least half full for best results.

• Be sure the outside of the cooking container and

the inside of the microwave oven are dry before

placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning

into steam can mislead the sensor.

Caring for Your Microwave Oven

To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a longtime, you should

maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully.

For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy

water and a sponge or

soft cloth.

Use only mild,

nonabrasivesoaps or a

mild detergent. Be sure

to keep the areas clean

where the door and

oven frame touch

when closed. Wipe well

with clean cloth.

Over time, stains can occur on the surfaces as the

result of food particles spattering during cooking. This

is normal.

For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2

to 3 minutes. Steam will

soften the soil. To get rid

of odors inside the oven,

boila cup of water with

some lemon juice or

vinegar in it.

To clean turntable and turntable support, wash in

mild, sudsy water; for

Glass turntable heavily soiled areas use

a mild cleanser and

scouring sponge. The

turntable and turntable

support are dishwasher

safe.

\support

For exterior surfaces and

age the control panel and the

oven surfaces.

control panel: Use a soft

cloth with spray glass

cleaner. Apply the spray

glass cleaner to the soft

cloth; do not spray

directly on the oven.

NOTE: Abrasive

cleansers, steel wool

pads, gritty wash

cloths, some paper
