Enter time using number pads. clock 3. Touch Clock pad again. Microwave utensil guide Do not use Use • Oven proof glass (specifically treated for high intensity heat): Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim. • 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: Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters 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 slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food. Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags for short cooking times. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food. • Paper: Paper towls, waxed paper, paper napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturer’s label for any special instructions for use in the microwave oven. 10 • 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 of the oven cavity and door of the microwave. • Wood: Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react in the same way. • Tightly covered utensils: Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode. • Brown paper: Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn. • Flawed or chipped cooking 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.

Special notes for defrosting by time • After pressing START key, the display will count down remaining defrost time. The oven will beep twice during the defrost cycle. At this time open the door and turn the food if needed and remove any portions that have already thawed. Touch the START key to resume the defrost cycle. • When heating has finished you will hear beeps. 13 MANUAL COOKING Defrosting tips • When using the defrost weight feature, the weight entered should always be pounds (valid entries are from 0.1 to 6.0 pounds). • The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food. • Use both defrost weight and defrost time features for raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a true freezer). If the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5° F or below, always program a lower food weight or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food. • Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated frozen pieces of food defrost better. • If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight. • Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm. • You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails, but do not allow the foil to touch the oven cavity walls when defrosting. Defrosting suggestions for meats For best results, please read these suggestions when defrosting meats. Meat Normal amount Suggestions • Roast beef or pork 2.5 to 6 lbs. (40 to 96 oz.) Start with the food placed fat side down. After each stage, turn the food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered for 15-30 minutes. • Steaks, chops or fish 0.5 to 3 lbs. (8 to 48 oz.) After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed portions of food, shield them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered for about 5 to 10 minutes. • Ground meat 0.5 to 3 lbs. (8 to 48 oz.) After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil for 5 to 10 minutes. • Whole chicken 2.5 to 6 lbs. (40 to 96 oz.) Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start defrsoting with the breast side down. After the 1st stage, turn the chicken over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After the 2nd stage, again shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for 30 to 60 minutes in the refrigerator. • Chicken pieces 0.5 to 3 lbs. (8 to 48 oz.) After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes. 14 MANUAL COOKING Reheat The reheat feature provides 3 quick preset settings based on serving size to reheat food for your cooking convenience.

As with any food prepartion in the microwave, it is best to follow the microwave instructions that are printed on food packaging. The table below provides suggested power levels for various types of food that you can be prepare in the microwave. Power Microwave output level 10 High 100 % Use to prepare when: • • • • • • • • Boiling water. Cooking ground beef. Making candy. Cooking fresh fruits & vegetables Cooking fish & poultry.

Raise yeast dough. 16 Suggestions for getting the best results To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below; • Storage temperature Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods would at room temperature. • Size Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food. • Natural moisture Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently. • Stirring Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary. • Turn over items Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy. • Food placement Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray. • Food arrangement Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray. • Let the food stand After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish in the center and avoids overcooking the out edges, The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items. • Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper Sandwiches and many other food types containing prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out while heating.
