OUNCE WEIGHT

Three defrost choices are preset in the oven. The
defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting
method for frozen foods, because the oven
automatically sets the defrosting times for each food
item according to the weight you enter. For added
convenience, the AUTO DEFROST includes a built-in
tone mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over,
separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost
cycle. Three different defrosting options are provided.
1. MEAT
2. POULTRY
3. FISH
After touching AUTO DEFROST once, select the food
category. Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry
and Fish are 0.1 to 8.0 Ibs.

TIPS

• Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO
DEFROST gives best results when food to be
thawed is a minimum of 0 F (taken directly from a
true freezer). If food has been stored in a
refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a
temperature of 5 F or below, always program a
Iower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time)
to prevent cooking the food.

3. Touch START/ENTER.

• If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to
20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.
• The shape of the package alters the defrosting
time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more
quickly than a deep block.

NOTE:
• After you touch START, the display counts down
the defrost time. The oven will beep once during the
defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn,
separate, or rearrange the food as needed. Remove
any portions that have thawed then return frozen
portions to the oven and touch START to resume
the defrost cycle.
• The oven will not stop during the beep unless
the door is opened.

CONVERSION

CHART

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
you can use the following chart to convert the weight
to decimals.

-17-

• 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 Iining.
• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if
they start to become warm.
• For even, complete defrosting, use the defrosting

GETTING 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.

Appetizers:

Tips and

Cooking

Techniques

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.

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 a paper
towel under the crackers while they cook in the
microwave oven to absorb extra moisture.
• Arrange individual appetizers in a circle for even
cooking.
• Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time.

- 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 overcooking the bottom of
the meat.
- Shield thin or bony portions with strips of foil to
prevent overcooking.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
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 it will conduct the heat to
the dish, Use hot pads to remove food after
cooking.

4. Lift up the bulb holder.

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 a popper,
be sure to follow manufacturer's directions, Do not
pop popcorn in glass utensils.

5. Replace bulb with a 30 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. 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

OVENPROOF GLASS (treated for high
intensity heat):
utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates,
cake plates, liquid measuring cups,
casseroles and bowls without metallic
trim.

DO NOT USE

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:

CHINA:
bowls, cups, serving plates and platters
without metallic trim.

Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes,
etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may
damage the oven.

PLASTIC:
Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- lay the plastic
wrap loosely over the dish and press it to
the sides.

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.

Vent plastic wrap by turning back one
edge slightly to 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 tdm or design. Look for the
manufacturer's label for use in the
microwave 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.

• the light bulb is loose or defective.
If oven will not cook:
• check that control panel was programmed correctly
• check that door is firmly closed.
• check that Start Pad was pressed.
• check that probe was inserted correctly
into receptacle.
• check that timer wasn't started instead of a cook
function.
If oven takes longer than normal to cook or cooks
too rapidly:
• be sure the Power Level is programmed properly

If food cooks unevenly:
• be sure food is evenly shaped
• be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.
• check placement of aluminum foil strips used to prevent
overcooking.
If food is undercooked:
• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time, &
power levels) were correctly followed.
• be sure microwave oven is on a separate circuit.
• be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.
If food is overcooked:
• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, power
level, time, size of dish) were followed.
If arcing
• be sure
• be sure
• be sure

(sparks) occur:
microwavable dishes were used.
wire twist ties weren't used.
oven wasn't operated when empty.

• make sure metal rack (if used) is properly installed on 4
supports.
If the Display shows a time counting down but the
oven is not cooking:
• check that door is firmly closed.
• check that timer wasn't started instead of a cooking
function.

If the time of day clock does not always keep
correct time:
• check that the power cord is fully inserted into the
outlet receptacle.
• be sure the oven is the only appliance on the
electrical circuit.
