This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows the basics that you need to
know in order to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information
before using your oven.

HOW YOUR MICROWAVE

WORKS

Microwave
ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It
causes food to make its own heat, and it is this heat that
cooks the food.

A magnefron in the microwave oven produces microwaves.
The microwaves move into the oven where they contact
food as it turns on the turntable.
Metal

The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves
pass through. The microwaves then bounce off a metal
floor, back through the glass turntable, and are absorbed
by the food.
Microwaves
pass through mast glass, paper, and plastics

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:
" Cleanlng 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 30 Sec while the oven is operating, or after the cooking cycle is over (see the "Add
30 Sec" section).
• Stir, turn over, or rearrange
the food being cooked about halfway through the
This will help ensure that the food is evenly cooked.

on 100% power for I minute. If the cookware

is warm,

it should not be used for microwave

cooking.

NOTE:
Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware,
etc.) absorb microwave energy, becoming too hot to
handle and slowing cooking time. Cooking in metal containers, not designed for microwave
use, could
damage the oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).

OPERATING

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

" Never lean on or allow a child to swing on the door when it is open.
" Use hot pads to handle food confalners. Microwave
energy does not heat containers,
can make the container hot.
" Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the 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. This may shorten the life-span
programming,

but the heat from the food

of the oven. To practice

" 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 wlth care when removing it from the oven to avoid breaking it.
" When using a browning
dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least 3/16 inch above the turntable.
Follow the 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 overheat. The liquid may splash 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 from the outer to the center 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 difficult to 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 microwavlng,
let potatoes stand for 5
minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

Cooking Tips

of Food

* If you 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 readiness
and, if
necessary, add more time in small increments.
Starting Temperature
of Food
* The lower the temperature
of the food being
put into the microwave oven, the longer it
takes to cool<. Food at room temperature

will

reheat quicker than food at refrigerator
temperature.
Composition
of Food
* Food with a lot of fat and sugar will heat
faster than food containing a lot of water.
Fat and sugar will also reach a higher
temperature
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 cool<
more evenly than differently
shaped pieces.
* With foods that have different thlcknesses, the
thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker
parts. Place the thinner parts of chicken wings
and legs in the center of the dish.
Stirring and
* Stirring and
to the center
at the outer

Turning
Foods
turning foods spreads heat quickly
of the dish and avoids overcooking
edges of the food.

Covering
Food
* Cover food to reduce splattering,
times, and keep food moist.

Releasing Pressure in Foods
* Several foods (for example: 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
pressure and 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 the 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 a "0" power
second 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 to remove the food
from the oven and take it to the serving table. However,
with a larger, 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.

shorten cooking

You can use any covering that lets microwaves
pass through. See "Getting to Know Your Microwave
Oven" for materials that microwaves will
pass through.

Using Aluminum

Foil

NOTE:Metal
containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you
have purchased food prepackaged
in an aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on the package.
When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate
the top of the food. When using aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:
• Place the container in a glass bowl and add some water so that it covers the bottom
more than 1/4 in. (.60 cm). 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).
• The container must be at least half filled.

of the container

• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum of 1/4 in. (.60 cm) between
of the oven and also between two aluminum containers.

container

the aluminum

and the walls

• 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 used.
• 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 put canned foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.
• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the
high temperature
needed for sterilization.

DEFROSTING

TIPS

• 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 to remove any and all metal
twist-ties that often come with frozen food bags, and
replace them with strings or elastic bands.
• Open

time varies according

to how

• 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, leg tips, 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.

on standing time, see the
"Microwave

Caring for Your Microwave
In order to ensure that your microwave
should maintain it properly. For proper
Far interior surfaces:

Oven
oven looks good and works well for a long time, you
care, please follow these instructions carefully.
Far exterior surfaces and 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.

Wash often with warm, sudsy
water and a sponge or soft
cloth.
Use only mild, nonabrasive
soaps or a mild detergent.
Be sure to keep the areas
clean where the door and
oven frame touch when
dosed. Wipe well with
clean cloth.

NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel
wool pads, gritty wash cloths,
some paper towels, etc.,
can damage the control panel
and the interior and exterior
oven surfaces.

Over time, surfaces may stain as a result of food
particles splattering during cooking. This is normal.
Far stubborn

soil: Boil a cup of water in the oven
for two to three minutes.
Steam will soften the soil.
To get rid of odors inside the
oven, boil a cup of water with
some lemon juice or vinegar in
it.

To clean glass turntable and turntable support: Wash
Glass turntable
in mild, sudsy water. For heavily
soiled areas, use a mild cleanser
and scouring sponge.
The glass turntable and turntable
support are dishwasher safe.

NOTE: Use the Clean option in
Clock & Settings for a preset timed
cycle for stubborn soil cleaning.
