A. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONSFor personal safety, this appliance must be properlygrounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,grounding reduces the risk of electric shock byproviding an escape route for the electric current. Thepower cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug to minimize the possibility ofelectric shock hazard from this appliance. The plugmust be plugged into an outlet that is properly installedand grounded.WARNING– Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove thethird ground prong from the power cord plug.The consumer should have it checked by a qualifiedelectrician or serviceman if the grounding instructionsare not completely understood, or if doubt exists as towhether the appliance is properly grounded. Where astandard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it isthe responsibility and obligation of the consumer tohave it replaced with a properly grounded three-prongwall receptacle.a) If customer has two-prong wall receptacle, he shouldreplace it with a three-prong (grounding) receptacleby a qualified electrician before using the appliance.b) Use of extension cords: If it is necessary to use anextension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord thathas a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptaclethat will accept the plug on the appliance. Themarked rating of the extension cord should be equalto or greater than the electrical rating of theappliance. NOTE: 1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce therisks resulting from becoming entangled in or trippingover a longer cord.2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are availableand may be used if care is exercised in their use.3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) themarked electrical rating of the cord set or extensioncord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord mustbe a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longercord should be arranged so that it will not drape overthe countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled onby children or tripped over accidentally.B. CIRCUITSFor safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a15 Amp circuit. No other electricalappliances or lighting circuits should be on this line. If indoubt, consult a licensed electrician.C. VOLTAGE WARNING The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be thesame as specified on the oven serial plate located onthe back or on the side of the control panel of the oven.Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may result ina fire or other type of accident causing oven damage.Low voltage will cause slow cooking. In case yourmicrowave oven does not perform normal operation inaccordance with AC power source and voltage, removethe power cord and then insert it again.D. PLACEMENT OF THE OVENYour microwave oven can easily be placed in yourkitchen, family room or any other room in your home.Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchencounter top or a specially designed microwave ovencart. Do not place oven above a gas or electric range.Free air flow around the oven is important.E. DO NOT BLOCK AIR VENTSAll air vents should be kept clear during cooking.

HOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVENWORKSMicrowaves are a form of energy similar to radioand television waves. Your microwave oven isconstructed in such a way as to take advantageof microwave energy.Electricity is converted into microwave energyby the magnetron tube, and microwaves arethen directed into the cooking area throughopenings in the oven. Microwaves reflect off themetal walls of the oven. They can be transmittedthrough glass, paper, wicker and microwave-safe cooking dishes. Microwaves do not heatthe cookware, though dishes will eventually feelhot from the heat generated by the food.Microwaves are attracted to the moisture infoods and cause the water molecules to vibrate,2,450 million times per second. This is calledabsorption. As the water molecules vibrate theyrub against each other, producing friction. Thisfriction, in turn, causes the food to get hot. If youhave trouble imagining how this is possible, justthink how hot your hands would get if yourubbed your palms together 2,450 million timesper second!A very safe appliance:Your microwave oven is one of the safest of allhome appliances. When the door is opened, theoven automatically stops producing microwaves.By the time microwave energy has beenconverted into heat in the process of makingfood hot, the microwaves have completelydissipated.GETTING THE BEST RESULTSFROM YOUR MICROWAVE OVENKeeping an eye on things:The recipes in this book have been developedwith great care, but your success in preparingthem depends upon how much attention youpay to the food as it cooks. Your microwaveoven is equipped with a light that turns onautomatically when the oven is in operation. Youcan see inside the oven and check the progressof your food. Directions given in recipes to"elevate", "stir", "rotate", etc., should be thoughtof as the minimum steps recommended, forevenness and speed in microwave cooking.Factors affecting cooking time: The cooking times given in the recipes in thisbook are approximate. Many factors affectcooking times. The temperature of ingredientsused in a recipe, makes a big difference in thecooking time. For example, a cake made withcold butter, milk and eggs will take considerablylonger to cook than one made with ingredientsthat are at room temperature.On very cold or very hot days, a great deal ofelectricity is diverted for heating or cooling.Therefore, less electricity is available for youroven, and the food will cook more slowly thanusual.Range of cooking times: All of the recipes in this book give a range ofcooking times. In general, you will find that thefood remains undercooked at the lower end ofthe time range.You may sometimes want to cook your foodbeyond the maximum time given. Personalpreferences vary, as do the cooking speeds ofdifferent ovens under different conditions. Whileundercooked food may always be cooked a bitmore, overcooked food can be ruined.Some of the recipes, particularly those forbreads, cakes and custards suggest that foodbe removed from the oven when it is still slightlyundercooked. This is not a mistake. Whenallowed to stand, the food will continue to cookoutside of the oven, as the heat trapped withinthe outer portions of the food gradually travelsinward. If the food is left in the oven until it iscooked all the way through, the outer portionswill become overcooked. As you gainexperience in using your microwave oven, youwill become increasingly skillful in estimatingboth cooking and standing times for various foods.- 6 -INTRODUCTION
HOW CHARACTERISTICS OFFOOD AFFECT MICROWAVECOOKINGQuantity: The greater the volume of food, the longer ittakes to cook it. In general, cooking time isincreased by about 50 percent, when doubling arecipe. Time is reduced by approximately 40percent when cutting a recipe in half.Density: Light, porous foods such as cakes and breadscook more quickly than heavy, dense foodsuch'as roasts, potatoes and casseroles.Height: Whether conventional or microwave cookingmethods are used, areas of food close to theenergy source may need to be turned orshielded for even cooking.Shape and Size: For more even cooking results, choose foodpieces that are similar in size and shape.Arrange small, thin pieces toward the center ofthe dish and thicker pieces toward the outside ofthe dish.Sugar, Fat and Moisture: Food with high sugar, fat and moisture contentcooks faster than food low in these elements.SPECIAL TECHNIQUES INMICROWAVE COOKINGBrowning: Meat and poultry with high fat content that arecooked 10-15 minutes or longer, will brownlightly. Food that is cooked for a shorter periodof time, may be brushed with a browning agentto achieve an appetizing color. The mostcommonly used browning sauces areWorcestershire sauce, soy sauce, barbecuesauce and bouquet sauce.Covering:A cover traps heat and steam causing the foodto cook more quickly. You may either use a lid orplastic wrap with a corner folded back, forexcess steam to escape. Waxed papereffectively prevents food from spattering andhelps food to retain some heat. Sandwiches andmany other foods can be wrapped in papertowels to prevent them from drying out.Spacing: Individual foods such as baked potatoes,cupcakes, and hors d'oeuvres will heat moreevenly if placed in the oven an equal distanceapart, preferably in a circular pattern.Stirring: Stirring is an important microwaving technique.Microwaved foods are stirred in order to blendflavors and redistribute heat. Always stir fromthe outside toward the inside, since the outsideof the food cooks first.Turning over: Larger size food such as roasts and wholepoultry should be turned, so that the top andbottom will cook evenly. It is also a good idea toturn chicken pieces and chops.Arrangement: Since microwaves cook from the outside-in, itmakes sense to place thicker portions of meat,poultry and fish to the outer edge of the bakingdish. This way, thicker portions will receive themost microwave energy and the food will cookevenly.Shielding: Strips of aluminum foil, which reflectmicrowaves, are sometimes placed over thecorners or edges of square and rectangularshaped pans to prevent those portions from overcooking. Keep foil at least one inch away fromthe oven walls.Testing for doneness: Because food cooks so quickly in a microwaveoven, it is necessary to test for donenessfrequently. Most foods are removed from theoven while still slightly undercooked, and finishcooking during standing time.The internal temperature of food will rise from 5°F to 15°F during standing time.Piercing: To prevent bursting, food enclosed in a shell,skin or membrane must be pierced prior tocooking. Such foods include both the yolks andwhites of eggs, clams and oysters, and manywhole vegetables, such as potatoes and squash.- 7 -INTRODUCTION
MICROWAVE-SAFE UTENSILSNever use metal or metal-trimmed utensils inyour microwave oven. Microwaves cannotpenetrate metal. They will bounce off metalobjects in the oven and cause "arcing", whichresembles lightning. Most heat-resistant,nonmetallic cooking utensils are safe for use inyour microwave oven. However, some maycontain materials that render them unsuitable formicrowave cooking. If you have any doubtsabout a particular utensil, there's a simple way tofind out if it can be used in your microwave oven.Testing Utensils for Microwave Use: Place the utensil in question next to a glassmeasure filled with water, in the microwaveoven. Microwave at (Power Level 10) for 1-2minutes. If the water heats up, but the utensilremains cool, the utensil is microwave-safe.However, if the utensil becomes warm,microwaves are being absorbed by the utensiland it should not be used in the microwaveoven.You probably have many items on hand in yourkitchen right now that can be used as cookingequipment in your microwave oven. Readthrough the following checklist.When popping a popcorn;Place carefully bag does not touch oven walls.Fold each end of the bag in half toward thecenter top of the bag.1. Dinner Plates: Many kinds of tableware are microwave safe.If in doubt, consult the manufacturer'sliterature or perform the microwave dish test.2. Glassware: Some glassware that is heatresistant ismicrowave-safe. This would include mostbrands of oven-tempered glass cookware. Donot, however, use delicate tumblers, wineglasses, etc. in the oven, as they are likely toshatter.3. Paper: Paper plates and containers without waxcoatings are convenient and safe to use in yourmicrowave oven, for short cooking times. Papertowels are also very useful for absorbingmoisture and grease. In general, use whitepaper products.4. Plastic Storage Containers: These can be used to hold foods that are tobe quickly reheated. However, they should notbe used to heat foods that will needconsiderable time in the oven, as hot foodswill eventually warp or melt the container.5. Cooking Bags:Cooking bags are microwave safe. However,be sure to make a slit in the bag so thatsteam can escape. Substitute string for metaltwist ties.6. Plastic Microwave Cookware:A variety of cookware is available. Certainspecial items such as plastic ring molds,muffin pans, etc. are convenient. Check themanufacturer's instructions.7. Pottery, Stoneware and Ceramic:Containers made of these materials are usuallyfine for use in your microwave oven. Theyshould be checked by using the dish test.- 8 -INTRODUCTIONPOPCORN

For Best Results:1. When determining time for a particular food,begin by using the minimum time and checkoccasionally for desired doneness.2. Small quantities of food or foods with lowwater content may burn, dry out, or becomehard if cooked too long.3. Do not cook eggs in the shell. They mayburst.4. Foods with non-porous skin or membrane (i.e.apples, potatoes, eggs) should be piercedwhen heated whole to prevent bursting.5. Do not use narrow neck bottles in themicrowave oven. They may shatter.Defrosting Frozen Foods:1. Foods that have been frozen in non-metallicwrapping can be placed directly in the ovenfor thawing.2. If some portions of the foods thaw faster thanother areas, cover the thawed portions withsmall pieces of aluminum foil. This helps slowdown or stop the defrosting process in theshielded areas.Browning:There are some foods which are not cookedlong enough in the microwave oven to brownand for more eye appeal may need additionalcolor. Coating mixes such as SHAKE & BAKE®, paprika, steak sauce or browning sauce suchas Kitchen Bouquet®or Worcestershire saucemay be used on chops, meat patties or chickenparts. Roasts and poultry (cooked for 15minutes or longer) brown nicely without anythingadded.Browning Dish:Micro Browning dishes may be used to achievea brown surface on small items such as steaks,chops, pancakes, etc. Follow instructionsprovided with Micro browning dish.The Microbrowning dishes are designed only for use inmicrowave ovens. Do not use in conventionaloven or range top. NOTE: DO NOT PREHEAT THE BROWNINGDISH ON THE TURNTABLE TRAY MORETHAN 8 MINUTES.Time Variations:Foods available vary throughout the country andmay cause cooking times to differ from thosegiven in the Cooking Guide. For this reason,cooking times given are approximate. Factorsthat may affect cooking time include startingtemperature, volume, size and shape of foodsand utensils used. As you become more familiarwith the oven, you will be able to adjust thetiming to these factors.Cooking Utensils:1. Most glass, glass ceramic, and heat resistantglassware utensils are excellent. Those withmetallic trim should not be used in themicrowave oven. (Check Cooking Guide for"DISH TEST".)2. Paper napkins, towels, plates, cups, cartons,freezer wrap and cardboard are greatconvenient utensils. Some recycled paperproducts may contain impurities which whencombined with hot fat could cause sparking(arcing) or fires when used for cooking in themicrowave oven. Do not use. (CONSULTCOOKING GUIDE FOR CORRECT USE OFTHESE PRODUCTS.)3. Plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers andplastic wraps may be used in the microwaveoven. Follow Manufacturers' instructions ofinformation given in Cooking Guide whenusing plastics in the microwave oven.4. Meat utensils and utensils with metallic trimshould not be used in the microwave oven.For more instructions on the proper use ofmetal in your oven, please read theIntroduction section in the Cooking Guide.When using foil, skewers, or utensils made ofmetal in the oven allow at least one inch ofspace between metal material and interioroven walls. If arcing (sparking) appears,remove metal material (skewer, etc) andtransfer to a non-metallic container.5. Do not pop popcorn in your microwave ovenunless in a special microwave popcornaccessory or unless you use popcorn labeledfor use in microwave oven. Because of theheat generated, without these precautions,the container could catch fire.- 15 -OTHER HELPFUL INSTRUCTIONS
- 16 -CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVENPRECAUTIONSTO CLEAN YOUR OVEN:1. Keep the inside of the oven clean.Food spatters or spilled liquids stick to ovenwalls and between seal and door surface. It isbest to wipe up spillovers with a damp clothright away. Crumbs and spillovers will absorbmicrowave energy and lengthen cookingtimes.
