ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE

OVEN

This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and
always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for
microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and
support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could
be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable wiii turn
both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to
absorb the microwave energy.
When using the microwave oven at power levels below
100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is
normal for the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm
to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation
is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room
humidity and the moisture in food wiii influence the amount
of moisture that condenses in the microwave oven. Generally,
covered foods wiii not cause as much condensation as
uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
The microwave oven is for food preparation
only. It should
not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
All microwave ovens are rated by using the IEC Test
Procedure at 1200 watts. In using recipes or package
directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum
time setting elapses and add time accordingly.

ABOUT MICROWAVE

COOKING

* Arrange food carefully.
of dish.

Place thickest areas towards outside

° Watch cooking time. Cool< for the shortest amount of
time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely
overcooked can smoke or ignite.
° Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for
suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic
wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to
cool< evenly.
° Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin
areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before
dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
° Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible.
° Turn foods over once during microwaving
to speed cooking
of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like
roasts must be turned over at least once.
° Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through
cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of
the dish to the outside.
° Use standing time. Always allow food to stand in or out of
the oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after
defrosting or cooking allows the temperature
to evenly
spread throughout the food, improving the cooking results.
For inside oven standing time, you can program a "0"

power stage of cooking cycle. See Multiple Stage Cooking.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking
temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
ABOUT

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.
* Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers--for
example, closed jars--will
explode and
should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of
the microwave oven could result in injury.
* 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.
* Operating the microwave with no food inside for more
than a minute or two may cause damage to the microwave
oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat around the
magnetron and can shorten the life of the microwave 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.
* 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 mill<. The
container may feel cooler than the mill< really is. Always
test the milk before feeding the baby.
* Spontaneous boiling--Under
certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal
from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing
liquid, we recommend the following: before removing the
container from the microwave oven, allow the container
to stand in the microwave oven for 30 to 40 seconds after
the microwave oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in
narrownecked
containers such as soft drink bottles, wine
flasks and especially narrow necked coffee cups. Even if
the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and
cause it to burst or overflow.
* Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked
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.
* 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 microwave oven.
* Cool< meat and poultry thoroughly--meat
to at least an
INTERNAL temperature
of 160°F and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature
of 170°F Cooking to these

MANUAL

DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST TABLE or
is above or below the limits in the Amount column on the DEFROST TABLE,
you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using
Power Level for 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under TO
SET POWER LEVEL. Estimate defrosting time and press Power Level pad
eight times for 30%.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is
approximately
4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1
pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the microwave oven periodically
to remove or separate
the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of
the estimated defrosting time, program the microwave oven in 1 minute
increments on Power Level 30°/'0 until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough
to remove food from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe
dish.

Instructions

Special Features
SENSOR COOKING
The Sensor is a semi-conductor
device that detects the vapor
(moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats,
and then adjusts the cooking times and power level for
various foods and quantities.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After microwave oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes
before using SENSOR COOKING.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the
interior of the microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any
moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. The microwave oven works with foods at normal

4.
5.

storage temperature.
For example, popcorn would be
at room temperature,
frozen dinner would be at freezer
temperature.
Any SENSOR COOKING
selection can be programmed
with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 16.
More or less food than the quantity listed in the
Sensor Cooking Table should be cooked following the
guidelines in any microwave cookbook.
During the first part of SENSOR COOKING,
food
selection name will appear on the display. Do not
open the microwave oven door or touch Stop/Clear
during this part of the cooking cycle. The measurement
of vapor will be interrupted.
If this occurs, an error
message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the
Stop/Clear pad and cool< manually.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food_ remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may
be opened when remaining cooking time appears on the
display. At this time_ you may stir or season food_ as desired.
If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when
popping popcorn, the microwave oven will turn off:, and
the correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor
does not detect vapor properly when cooking other
foods, ERROR will be displayed, and the microwave
oven will turn off:.

Check food for temperature
after cooking. If additional
time is needed, continue to cook manually.
9.
Each food selection pad has a cooking hint. Touch Help
pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.
IMPORTANT OPERATION NOTE: You must touch a Sensor
Cooking pad within 3 minutes of opening and closing the
oven door at the beginning of a new cooking cycle. If you
do not, the pad wiii not work until you touch Stop/Clear.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended
in the SENSOR COOKING
TABLE for these
foods.
1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended
for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow
approximately
1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow
steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.
3.Wax paper: Cover dish completely;
fold excess wrap
under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap
two pieces at least one inch to cover.
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to
escape away from you.
EXAMPLE:
You can cool< many foods by touching just one pad. You
don't need to calculate cooking time or power level.
° Suppose you want to reheat chili.
Touch Reheat pad.
When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food,
remainder of reheating time will appear.
