IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONSPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVINGMake sure all cookwareused in your microwaveoven is suitable formicrowaving. Most glasscasseroles, cooking dishes,measuring cups, custardcups, pottery or chinadinnerware which does nothave metallic trim or glazewith a metallic sheen canbe used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable formicrowaving.”•If you are not sure if adish is microwave-safe,use this test: Place in theoven both the dish youare testing and a glassmeasuring cup filled with1 cup of water—set themeasuring cup either inor next to the dish.Microwave 30–45 secondsat high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains cooland only the water in thecup heats, then the dishis microwave-safe.•If you use a meat ther-mometer while cooking,make sure it is safe foruse in microwave ovens.•Do not use recycledpaper products. Recycledpaper towels, napkinsand waxed paper cancontain metal fleckswhich may cause arcingor ignite. Paper productscontaining nylon ornylon filaments shouldbe avoided, as they mayalso ignite. •Some styrofoam trays(like those that meat ispackaged on) have a thinstrip of metal embeddedin the bottom. Whenmicrowaved, the metalcan burn the floor of theoven or ignite a papertowel.•Do not use the microwaveto dry newspapers.•Not all plastic wrap issuitable for use in micro-wave ovens. Check thepackage for proper use.•Paper towels, waxedpaper and plastic wrapcan be used to coverdishes in order to retainmoisture and preventspattering. Be sure tovent plastic wrap so steamcan escape.•Cookware may becomehot because of heattransferred from theheated food. Pot holdersmay be needed to handlethe cookware.•“Boilable” cookingpouches and tightlyclosed plastic bags shouldbe slit, pierced or ventedas directed by package. If they are not, plasticcould burst during orimmediately aftercooking, possibly resultingin injury. Also, plasticstorage containers shouldbe at least partiallyuncovered because theyform a tight seal. Whencooking with containerstightly covered withplastic wrap, removecovering carefully anddirect steam away fromhands and face.MICROWAVE-SAFECOOKWARE8How to test for amicrowave-safe dish.49-40370 v06 6/17/03 4:45 PM Page 8
9•Use foil only as directed inthis manual. TV dinnersmay be microwaved in foiltrays less than 3/4″high;remove the top foil coverand return the tray to thebox. When using foil inthe microwave oven, keepthe foil at least 1″awayfrom the sides of the oven.•Plastic cookware—Plasticcookware designed formicrowave cooking isvery useful, but should be used carefully. Evenmicrowave-safe plasticmay not be as tolerant ofovercooking conditionsas are glass or ceramicmaterials and may softenor char if subjected to short periods ofovercooking. In longerexposures to over-cooking, the food andcookware could ignite. Follow these guidelines: 1Use microwave-safeplastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookwaremanufacturer’srecommendations. 2Do not microwave emptycontainers. 3Do not permit children to use plastic cookwarewithout completesupervision.The fan will operateautomatically undercertain conditions (seeAutomatic Fan feature).Take care to prevent thestarting and spreading ofaccidental cooking fireswhile the vent fan is in use. •Clean the underside ofthe microwave often. Do not allow grease to build up on themicrowave or the fan filters.•In the event of a greasefire on the surface unitsbelow the microwaveoven, smother a flamingpan on the surface unitby covering the pancompletely with a lid, acookie sheet or a flat tray.•Use care when cleaningthe vent fan filters.Corrosive cleaningagents, such as lye-basedoven cleaners, maydamage the filters.•When preparing flaming foods under the microwave, turn the fan on. •Never leave surface unitsbeneath your microwaveoven unattended at highheat settings. Boiloverscause smoking and greasyspillovers that may igniteand spread if themicrowave vent fan isoperating. To minimizeautomatic fan operation,use adequate sizedcookware and use highheat on surface unitsonly when necessary.THE VENTFAN49-40370 v06 6/17/03 4:45 PM Page 9

Operating InstructionsVariable power levels addflexibility to microwavecooking. The power levelson the microwave oven can be compared to thesurface units on a range.High (power level 10) orfull power is the fastest way to cook and gives you100% power. Each powerlevel gives you microwaveenergy a certain percent ofthe time. Power level 7 ismicrowave energy 70% ofthe time. Power level 3 isenergy 30% of the time.A high setting (10) willcook faster but food mayneed more frequentstirring, rotating or turningover. Most cooking will bedone on High (power level10). A lower setting willcook more evenly andneed less stirring orrotating of the food. Some foods may havebetter flavor, texture orappearance if one of thelower settings is used. Usea lower power level whencooking foods that have atendency to boil over, suchas scalloped potatoes.Rest periods (when themicrowave energy cyclesoff) give time for the food to “equalize” or transferheat to the inside of thefood. An example of this isshown with power level 3—the defrost cycle. If micro-wave energy did not cycleoff, the outside of the foodwould cook before theinside was defrosted.Here are some examples of uses for various powerlevels:Power Level Best UsesHigh 10 Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.Med-High 7 Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casserolesand reheating.Medium 5 Slow cooking and tenderiz-ing such as stews and less tender cuts of meat.Low 2 or 3 Defrosting without cooking; simmering; delicate sauces.Warm 1 Keeping food warm without overcooking; softening butter.How to Change the Power Level The power level may beentered or changedimmediately afterentering the featuretime for TIME COOK,TIME DEFROST orEXPRESS COOK.

Operating InstructionsTime FeaturesAllows you to defrost forthe length of time youselect. See the DefrostingGuide for suggested times.Power level 3 isautomatically set, but youmay change this for moreflexibility. You may defrostsmall items more quicklyby raising the power levelafter entering the time.However, they will needmore frequent attentionthan usual.Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time inabout half; power level 10cuts the total time toapproximately 1/3. Rotateor stir food frequently. At one half of selecteddefrosting time, the ovensignals TURN. At this time,turn food over and breakapart or rearrange piecesfor more even defrosting.Shield any warm areas withsmall pieces of foil.A dull thumping noise may be heard duringdefrosting. This sound isnormal when the oven isnot operating at Highpower.Defrosting Tips•Foods frozen in paper orplastic can be defrostedin the package. Tightlyclosed packages shouldbe slit, pierced or ventedAFTER food has partiallydefrosted. Plastic storagecontainers should be atleast partially uncovered.•Family-size, prepackagedfrozen dinners can bedefrosted and micro-waved. If the food is in afoil container, transfer itto a microwave-safe dish.•Foods that spoil easily,such as milk, eggs, fish,stuffings, poultry andpork, should not beallowed to sit out formore than one hour after defrosting. Roomtemperature promotesthe growth of harmfulbacteria.•For more even defrostingof larger foods, such asbeef, lamb and vealroasts, use Auto Defrost.•Be sure large meats are completely defrostedbefore cooking.•When defrosted, foodshould be cool butsoftened in all areas.

32Helpful InformationMicrowave TermsArcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:•metal or foil touching the side of the oven.•foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).•metal such as twist ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.•recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.Covering Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.Shielding In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs onpoultry, which would cook before larger parts.Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.Term Definition49-40370 v06 6/17/03 4:46 PM Page 32
