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 liquidmay 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:
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: Refer to a reliablecookbook for cooking times
based on the 1000 Watt cook power of your microwave
oven.

AUTO DEFROST
Three defrost sec uences are preset in the oven.
The auto defrost feature provides you with the best
defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking guide
will show you which defrost sequence is recommended
for the food you are defrosting.
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost
includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds
you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange to get
best defrost results. Three different defrosting levels
are provided.
1 MEAT
2 POULTRY
3 FISH
*Available weight is 0.1-6.0 Ibs.

NOTE:
When you touch the START pad, the display changes
to defrost time count down. The oven will beep during
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

Meat 1 Time(s) .1 to 6.0 (45g to 2722g)
Poultry 2 Time(s) .1 to 6.0 (45g to 2722g)
Fish 3 Time(s) .1 to 6.0 (45g to 2722g)
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.
Equivalent Weight
OUNCES DECIMAL WEIGHT
1.6 .10
3.2 .20
4.0 .25 One-Quarter Pound
4.8 .30
6.4 .40

NOTE:
If between two decimal weights, choose the lower
weight for the best defrosting results.

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 timevaries according to
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, 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,
(For more information on standing time, see the
"Microwave Cooking Tips" section.)
• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.
Break apart and remove food 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.
Touch: Display Shows:
HoN _nJn
/_/J/_ LI

_/J/_ LI, 11"31R
At the end of the holdwarm, "END" will be
displayed and four tones will sound.
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" 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 quality of
some foods will suffer with extended time.
