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).

•Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO

DEFROST gives best results when food to be

thawed is a minimum of 0F (taken directly from a

true freezer). If food has been stored in a

refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a

temperature of 5F or below, always program a

lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time)

to prevent cooking the food.

• If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to

20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.

•The sh ape of the package alters the defrosting

time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more

quickly than a deep block.

• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

• You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield

shieldfoods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish

tailsbut the foil must not touch the side of the

oven.Foil causes arcing, which can damage the

oven lining.

•Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if

they start to become warm.

• For even, complete defrosting, use the defrosting

rack.

• For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on

a microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents

the possibility of warm meat juices cooking food

dudng defrost.

GETFING THE BEST COOKING

RESULTS

To get the best results from your microwave oven, read

and follow the guidelines below.

•Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer

or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same

foods at room temperature. The time for recipes in

this book is based on the normal storage temperature

of the food.

• Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large

ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more

evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when

cooking large pieces of food.

•Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more

evenly because microwave energy is attracted to

water molecules.

•Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from

the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly

and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not

necessary.

•Turn over foods like pork chops, baking potatoes,

roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the

cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave

energy.

•Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus

tips, toward the center of the dish.

•Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken

pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier

parts toward the outside of the dish.

•Shield, with Small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of

food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg

ends of poultry.

•Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the

microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let

it stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid

overcooking the outer edges. The length of standing

time depends on the density and surface area of the

food.

•Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel:

Sandwiches and many other foods containing

prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to

microwaving to prevent drying out.

Fish & Shellfish

Cooking Fish and Shellfish: General Directions

• Prepare the fish for cooking.

-Completely defrost the fish or shellfish.

- Arrange unevenly shaped pieces with thicker parts

toward the outside of the dish. Arrange shellfish in a

single layer for even cooking.

- The type of cover you use depends on how you

cook. Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or

vented plastic wrap.

- Baked fish, coated fish, or fish in sauce needs to be

covered lightly with waxed paper to keep the coating

crisp and sauce from getting watery.

-Always set the shortest cooking time. Fish is done

when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to

flake. Shellfish is done when the shell tums from

pink to red and the flesh is opaque and firm.

•The Fish and Shellfish Cooking Table below provides

specific directions with Power Level and Cooking

Time settings for most types of fish and shellfish.

Appetizers /Sauces /Soups

Cooking Appetizers: Tips and

Techniques

Recommended

• crackers, such as melba toast, shredded wheat, and

crisp rye crackers are best for microwave use. Wait

until party time to add the spreads. Place apaper

towel under the crackers while they cook in the

microwave oven to absorb extra moisture.

•Arrange individual appetizers in a cimle for even

cooking.

•Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time.

Cooking Sauces: Tips and Techniques

•Use a microwavable casserole or glass measuring

cup that is at least 2 or 3 times the volume of the

sauce.

•Sauces made with cornstarch thicken more rapidly

than those made with flour.

Cooking Soups: Tips and Techniques

•Cook soups in a microwavable dish which holds

double the volume of the recipe ingredients to prevent

boil-over, especially if you use cream or milk in the

soup.

•Generally, cover microwaved soups with VENTED

plastic wrap or a microwavable lid.

•Cover foods to retain moisture. Uncover foods to

retain crispness.

•Avoid cvercooking by using the minimum suggested

time. Add more time, if necessary, only after checking

the food.

Not Recommended

•Appetizers with acrisp coating or puff pastry are best

done in a conventional oven with dry heat.

•Breaded products can be warmed in the microwave

oven but will not come out crisp.

•Cook sauces made with cornstarch or flour uncovered

so you may stir them 2 or 3 times during cooking for a

smooth consistency.

•To adapt a conventional sauce or gravy recipe,

reduce the amount of liquid slightly.

• Stirring occasionally will help blend flavors, distribute

heat evenly, and may even shorten the cooking time.

•When converting a conventional soup recipe to cook

in the microwave, reduce the liquid, salt, and strong

seasonings.

Meat

Cooking Meat: General Directions

• Prepare the meat for cooking.

- Defrost completely.

-Trim off excess fat to avoid splattering.

-Place the meat, fat side down, on a microwavable

rack in a microwavable dish.

-Use oven cooking bag for less tender cuts of meat.

- Arrange the meat so that thicker portions are toward

the outside of the dish.

- Cover the meat with waxed paper to prevent

splattering.

•Tend the meat as it cooks.

- Drain juices as they accumulate to reduce

splattering and keep from overceoking the bottom of

the meat.

- Shield thin or bony portions with stripsof foil to

prevent overcooking.

NOTE: Keep the foil at least 1 inch from the oven

walls, and do not cover more than one-third of the meat

with foil at any one time.

•Let the meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes

after you remove it from the oven. The internal

temperature of the meat may rise from 5-10°F during

standing time.

Pasta And Rice

Microwave cooking and conventional cooking of pasta,

rice, and cereal require about the same amount of time,

but the microwave is a more convenient method

because you can cook and senle in the same dish.

There is no stirring needed and leftover pasta tastes

just like fresh cooked when reheated in the microwave

oven.

CARE AND CLEANING

For best performance and safety, keep the.oven clean

inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner

door panel and the oven front frame free of food or

grease build-up.

Never use rough powder or pads. Wipe the

microwave oven inside and out, including the hood

bottom cover, with a soft cloth and awarm(not hot)

mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a

chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and

aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately with a

wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or

bacon. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if

needed.

CLEANING THE GREASE FILTERS

The grease filters should be removed and cleaned

often, at least once a month.

1. To remove grease filters, slide each

filter to the side. Pull filters downward

and push to the other side. The filter will drop out.

2. Soak grease filters in hot water and a mild

detergent. Rinse well end shake to dry. Do not use

ammonia or place in a dishwasher. The

aluminum will darken.

3. To reinstall the filters, slide it into the side slot, then

push up and toward oven center to lock.

NOTE: Do not operate the hood without the filters in

place.

CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACEMENT

If your oven is vented inside, the charcoal filter should

be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and more often if

necessary. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned.

To order a new chamoal filter, contact the Service

Center.

1. Remove the two vent grille mounting screws.

(2 middle screws)

2. Tip the grille forward, then liftit out

3. Open the door.

4. Push the hook and remove old filter.

5. Slide anew charcoal filterintoplace and close the door.

The filter should rest at the angle st'_wn and set the c_:k.

6. Slide the bottom of the vent cover into place. Push

the top until it snaps into place. Replace the mounting

screws. Turn the power back on at the main power

supply and set the clock.

- 25 -

COOKTOP/NIGHT LIGHT REPLACEMENT

1, Unplug oven or turn off power at the main power

supply.

2. Remove the bulb cover mounting screws.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I

may reheat or cook in two levels at a time?

A. Only use the rack that is supplied with your

microwave oven. Use of any other rack can result in

poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may

damage your oven.

3. Replace bulb with 30 watt appliance bulb.

4. Replace bulb cover, and mount screw.

5. Turn the power back on at the main power supply.

OVEN LIGHT REPLACEMENT

1. Unplug oven or turn off power at the main power

supply.

2. Remove the vent cover mounting screws. (2 middle

screws)

3. Tip the cover forward, then lift out to remove.

4. Lift up the bulb holder.

5. Replace bulb with a30 watt appliance bulb.

6. Replace the bulb holder.

7. Slide the top of the vent cover into place. Push the

bottom until it snaps into place. Replace the

mounting screws. Turn the power back on at the

main power supply.

Q. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my

microwave oven?

A. Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding

(use small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray

is 3/4 inch deep and filled with food to absorb

microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch

walls or door.

Q. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven

appears wavy. Is this normal?

A. This appearance is normal and does not affect the

operation of your oven.

Q. What are the humming noises that I hear when

my microwave oven is operating?

A. You hear the sound of the transformer when the

magnetron tube cycles on and off.

Q. Why does the dish become hot when I

microwave food in it? I thought that this should

not happen.

A. As the food becomes hot itwill conduct the heat to

the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after

cooking.

Q. What does "standing time" mean?

A. "Standing time" means that food should be taken

out of the oven and covered for additional time after

cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish,

saves energy and frees the oven for other purpose.

Q. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How

do I get the best results?

A. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following

manufacturer's guidelines or use the

preprogrammed Popcorn pad.

Do not use regular paper bags. Use the "listening

test" by stopping the oven as soon as the popping

slows to a =pop" every one or two seconds. Do not

try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use

special microwave poppers. When using apopper,

be sure to follow manufacturer's directions. Do not

pop popcorn in glass utensils.

Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust

vent?

A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The

microwave oven has been designed to vent this

steam out the top vent.

MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE

USE DO NOT USE

OVENPROOF GLASS (treated for high

intensity heat):

utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates,

cake plates, liquid measuring cups,

casseroles and bowls without metallic

trim.

CHINA:

bowls, cups, serving plates and platters

without metallic trim.

PLASTIC:

Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- lay the plastic

wrap loosely over the dish and press it to

the sides.

Vent plastic wrap by turning back one

edge slightlyto allow excess steam to

escape. The dish should be deep

enough so that the plastic wrap will not

touch the food. As the food heats it may

melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap

touches the food.

Use plastic dishes, cups,

semirigid freezer containers, and plastic

bags only for short cooking time. Use

these with care because the plastic

may soften from the heat of the food.

PAPER:

Paper towels, waxed paper, paper

napkins, and paper plates with no

metallic trim or design. Look for the

manufacturer's label for use in the

microwave oven.

METAL UTENSILS:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces

uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil

trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your

microwave oven.

METAL DECORATION:

Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes,

etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may

damage the oven.

ALUMINUM FOIL:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking

and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield

poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch

from the side walls and door of the oven.

WOOD:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack

when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the

same way.

TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:

Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered

utensils. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items

before cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode.

BROWN PAPER:

Avoid using brown paper bags.

They absorb too much heat and could burn,

FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:

Any utensil that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the

oven.

METAL TWIST TIES:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.

They become hot and could cause a fire.
