5Installation and OperationCIRCUITS For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a 15 or 20 Amp circuit. No other electrical appliances or lighting circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.VOLTAGE The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the same as specified on the oven name plate located inside oven door. Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing oven damage. Low voltage will cause slow cooking. In case your microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of proper voltage, remove and reinsert the plug.PLACEMENT OFTHE OVENYour microwave oven can be placed easily in your kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home. Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen countertop or a specially designed microwave oven cart. Do not place oven above a gas or electric range. Free air flow around the oven is important.UNPACKING OVEN• Inspect oven for damage such as dents in door or inside oven cavity.• Report any dents or breakage to source of purchase immediately.

If air vents are covered during oven operation the oven may overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety device automatically turns the oven off.The oven will be inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently. Installation and OperationGETTING THE BESTRESULTS FROM YOURMICROWAVE OVENKeep an eye on things. The instructions in this book have been formulated with great care, but your success in preparing food depends, of course, on how much attention you pay to the food as it cooks. Always watch your food while it cooks. Your microwave oven is equipped with a light that turns on automatically when the oven is in operation so that you can see inside and check the progress of your recipe. Directions given in recipes to elevate, stir, and the like should be thought of as the minimum steps recommended. If the food seems to be cooking unevenly, simply make the necessary adjustments you think appropriate to correct the problem. Factors affecting cooking times. Many factors affect cooking times. The temperature of ingredients used in a recipe makes a big difference in cooking times. For example, a cake made with ice-cold butter, milk, and eggs will take considerably longer to bake than one made with ingredients that are at room temperature. All of the recipes in this book give a range of cooking times. In general, you will find that the food remains undercooked at the lower end of the time range, and you may sometimes want to cook your food beyond the maximum time given, according to personal preference. The governing philosophy of this book is that it is best for a recipe to be conservative in giving cooking times. While undercooked food may always be cooked a bit more, overcooked food is ruined for good. Some recipes, particularly those for bread, cakes, and custard, recommend that food be removed from the oven when they are slightly undercooked. This is not a mistake. When allowed to stand, usually covered, these foods will continue to cook outside of the oven as the heat trapped within the outer portions of the foods gradually travels inward. If the foods are left in the oven until they are cooked all the way through, the outer portions will become overcooked or even burned. As you gain experience in using your microwave oven, you will become increasingly skillful in estimating both cooking and standing times for various foods.SPECIAL TECHNIQUESIN MICROWAVECOOKINGBrowning: Meats and poultry that are cooked fifteen minutes or longer will brown lightly in their own fat. Foods that are cooked for a shorter period of time may be brushed with a browning sauce to achieve an appetizing color. The most commonly used browning sauces are Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and barbecue sauce. Since relatively small amounts of browning sauces are added to foods, the original flavor of recipes is not altered. Covering: A cover traps heat and steam and causes food to cook more quickly. You may either use a lid or microwave cling-film with a corner folded back to prevent splitting.Covering with waxed paper: Waxed paper effectively prevents spattering
6and helps food retain some heat.Since it makes a looser cover than a lid or cling-film, it allows the food to dry out slightly.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. Arranging and spacing: Individual foods such as baked potatoes, small cakes, and hors d’oeuvres will heat more evenly if placed in the oven and equal distance apart, preferably in a circular pattern. Never stack foods on top of one another. Stirring: Stirring is one of the most important of all microwaving techniques. In conventional cooking, foods are stirred for the purpose of blending. Microwaved foods, however, are stirred in order to spread and redistribute heat. Always stir from the outside towards the center as the outside food heats first. Turning over: Large, tall foods such as roasts and whole chickens should be turned so that the top and bottom will cook evenly. It is also a good idea to turn cutup chicken and chops. Placing thicker portions near the edge: Since microwaves are attracted to the outside portion of foods, it makes sense to place thicker portions of meat, poultry and fish to the outer edge of the baking dish. This way, thicker portions will receive the most microwave energy and the foods will cook evenly.Elevating: Thick or dense foods are often elevated so that microwaves can be absorbed by the underside and center of the foods. Piercing:Foods enclosed in a shell, skin, or membrane are likely to burst in the oven unless they are pierced prior to cooking. Such foods include both yolks and whites of eggs, clams and oysters, and many whole vegetables and fruits.Installation and Operation (Cont'd)Testing if cooked: Because foods cook so quickly in a microwave oven, it is necessary to test food frequently. Some foods are left in the microwave until completely cooked, but most foods, including meats and poultry, are removed from the oven while still slightly undercooked and allowed to finish cooking during standing time. The internal temperature of foods will rise between 5° F (3° C) and 15° F (8° C) during standing time. Standing time: Foods are often allowed to stand for 3 to 10 minutes after being removed from the microwave oven. Usually the foods are covered during standing time to retain heat unless they are supposed to be dry in texture (some cakes and biscuits, for example). Standing allows foods to finish cooking and also helps flavors to blend and develop.HOW FOODCHARACTERISTICSAFFECT MICROWAVECOOKINGDensity of foods: Light, porous food like cakes and breads cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods such as roasts and casseroles. You must take care when microwaving porous foods that the outer edges do not become dry and brittle. Height of foods: The upper portion of tall foods, particularly roasts, will cook more quickly than the lower portion. Therefore, it is wise to turn tall foods during cooking, sometimes several times.Moisture content of foods: Since the heat generated from microwaves tends to evaporate moisture, relatively dry foods such as roasts and some vegetables should either be sprinkled with water prior to cooking or covered to retain moisture.Bone and fat content of foods:Bones conduct heat and fat cooks more quickly than meat. Therefore, care must be taken when cooking bony or fatty cuts of meat that the meats do not cook unevenly and do not become overcooked.NOTE: It is a common misconception that microwaves cook food from the inside out. This comes from heating filled pastries with a high sugar content, like jelly doughnuts. The pastry is cool but the filling is very hot! If you cook a chicken or a roast, you’ll see the outside is cooked first. Shape of foods: Microwaves penetrate only about 1 inch (2.5 cm) into foods; the interior portion of thick foods is cooked as the heat generated on the outside travels inward. In other words, only the outer edge of any food is actually cooked by microwave energy; the rest is cooked by conduction. It follows then that the worst possible shape for a food that is to be microwaved is a thick cube. The corners will burn long before the center is even warm. Round, thin, and ring shaped foods cook most successfully in the microwave.Quantity of foods: The number of microwaves in your oven remains constant regardless of how much food is being cooked. Therefore, the more food you place in the oven, the longer the cooking time. Remember to decrease cooking times by at least one-third when halving a recipe.

POWER LEVEL MICROWAVE OUTPUT USE
12SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSSensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The display will indicate SENSING during the initial sensing period. The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item. When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The display will show the remaining heating time. For best results for cooking by Sensor, follow these recommendations:1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature.2. Glass turntable and outside of container should be dry to assure best cooking results.3. Foods should always be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.4. Do not open the door or touch the STOP/CLEAR pad during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps twice and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food.SENSOR COOKING GUIDEAppropriate containers and coverings help assure good Sensor cooking results.1. Always use microwavable con-tainers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.3. Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.ADDING OR SUBTRACTING COOK TIMEBy using the MORE or LESS pads all of the sensor cook and time cook settings can be adjusted to cook food for a longer or shorter time.

17DEFROSTING GUIDE● Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.Food Standard Amount ProcedureRoast Beef, pork2.5~6.0 lbs.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.Steaks, Chops, fish0.5~3.0 lbs.After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed portions of food, sheild them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered, for 5-10 minutesGroud Meat0.5~3.0 lbs.After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nealy defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil, for 5-10 minutes.Whole Chicken2.5~6.0 lbs.Remove giblets before freezing poulty. Start defrosting with the beast side down. After the first stage, turn the chicken over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After the second stage, again sheild any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foril. Let stand, covered for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator.Chicken Pieces0.5~3.0 lbs.After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.AUTO DEFROST Dfrost 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 according to the weight you enter. For added convenience, the AUTO DEFROST includes a built-in tone mechanism that reminds you to check or turn over the food during the defrost cycle.After touching the AUTO DEFROST once, select the food weight. Available weight ranges are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs. Example : To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat.1. Touch AUTO DEFROST pad.2. Enter the weight.3. Touch ENTER/START pad.NOTES: ● After you touch ENTER/ 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 the food as needed. Remove any portions that have thawed then return frozen portions to the oven and touch ENTER/START to resume the defrost cycle. ● The oven will not stop during the BEEP unless the door is opened.17Operating InstructionsDEFROST 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 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 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 shape 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 alu-minum foil to shield foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but 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.
18Operating InstructionsGETTING THE BEST COOKING RESULTSTo 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.
19Operating InstructionsCOOKING GUIDEGuide for Cooking Meat in Your Microwave● Place meat on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish.● Start meat fat-side down. Use narrow strips of aluminum foil to shield any bone tips or thin meat areas.● Check the temperature in several places before letting the meat stand the recommended time.● The following temperatures are removal temperatures.

Cook until firm and opaque, stirring 2 or 3 times. Let stand 5 minutes.Guide for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave● Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.● Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.● Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave● Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about ? cup water.● Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.● Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time has passed.● Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.● When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.● Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting.● For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time.● Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes before cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.
CARE AND CLEANINGFor best performance and safety, keep the oven clean inside and out-side. 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 a warm (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.21Care and Cleaning
Cooking UtensilsMICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDEUSEOVENPROOF 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 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 times. 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.DO NOT USEMETAL 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.22
TroubleshootingTROUBLESHOOTING GUIDEBefore you call a repair person for your oven, check this list of possible problems and solutions.Neither the oven’s display nor the oven operate.● Properly insert the plug into a grounded outlet. ● If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the wall switch is turned on. ● Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. ● Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.● Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the other appliance doesn’t work, have a qualified electrician repair the outlet. ● Plug the oven into a different outlet.The oven’s display works, but the power won’t come on.● Make sure the door is closed securely.● Check to see if packing material or other material is stuck to the door seal. ● Check for door damage.● Press Cancel twice and re-enter all cooking instructions.The power goes off before the set time has elapsed.● If there has not been a power outage, remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. If there was a power outage, the time indicator will display: ENJOY YOUR COOKING - - - PRESS OPTION PAD FOR PERSONAL OPTIONS. Reset the clock and any cooking instructions. ● Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse. The food is cooking too slowly.● Make sure the oven is on its own 20 amp circuit line. Operating another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If necessary, move the oven to its own circuit.You see sparks or arcing.● Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil, use only narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil and interior oven walls.The turntable makes noises or sticks.● Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor. ● Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference.● This is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances, such as hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other appliances, like your TV or radio.Note: If the oven is set to cook for more than 25 minutes, it will automatically adjust itself to 70 percent power after 25 minutes to avoid overcooking.CARE AND CLEANINGFollow these instructions to clean and care for your oven.● Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.● Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives. ● To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High power for five minutes or until boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or two minutes. ● Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher. ● Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, don’t let water seep into the openings.● Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.● If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.● Never operate the oven without food in it; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.If you have a problem you cannot solve,please call our service line:1-800-843-0304 U.S.A.1-866-587-2002 CANADA23
