Follow the directions provided withyour browning dish.• Microwavable plastic wrap — Use to retainsteam. Leave a small opening for some steam toescape and avoid placing it directly on the food.• Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spatter-ing.• Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-termheating and covering; they absorb excess mois-ture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycledpaper towels, which may contain metal and cancatch fire.• Paper plates and cups — Use for short-termheating at low temperatures. Do not use recy-cled paper, which may contain metal and cancatch fire.• Thermometers — Use only those labeled“Microwave Safe” and follow all directions.Check the food in several places. Conventionalthermometers may be used once the food hasbeen removed from the oven.Limited Use• Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to pre-vent overcooking of exposed areas. Using toomuch foil can damage your oven, so be careful.• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use theseif they are labeled “Microwave Safe.” If theyare not labeled, test them to make sure they canbe used safely. Never use dishes with metallictrim.• Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe.”Other plastics can melt.• Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, as they can be flammable.Not Recommended• Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is toothin to be used in a microwave, and can shatter.• Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, exceptfor popcorn bags that are designed formicrowave use.• Styrofoam plates and cups — These can meltand leave an unhealthy residue on food.• Plastic storage and food containers —Containers such as margarine tubs can melt inthe microwave.• Metal utensils — These can damage your oven.Remove all metal before cooking.

If the dish is warm, then itis absorbing microwave energy and is not accept-able for use in the microwave.MU4290W1(mini)-SEA 6/3/00 12:39 AM Page 9
COOKINGINSTRUCTIONS10 COOKINGINSTRUCTIONSCooking TechniquesStirringStir foods such as casseroles and vegetables whilecooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the out-side of the dish absorbs more energy and heatsmore quickly, so stir from the outside to the center.The oven will turn off when you open the door tostir your food.ArrangementArrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chickenpieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier partstoward the outside of the turntable where theyreceive more microwave energy. To prevent over-cooking, place thin or delicate parts toward thecenter of the turntable.ShieldingShield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil toprevent overcooking. Areas that need shieldinginclude poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs,and corners of square baking dishes. Use onlysmall amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amountscan damage your oven.Turning Turn foods over midway through cooking to exposeall parts to microwave energy. This is especiallyimportant with large items such as roasts.Standing Foods cooked in the microwave build up internalheat and continue to cook for a few minutes afterthe oven stops. Let foods stand to complete cook-ing, especially foods such as roasts and wholevegetables. Roasts need this time to completecooking in the center without overcooking theouter areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot choco-late, should be shaken or stirred when cooking iscomplete. Let liquids stand a moment before serv-ing. When heating baby food, stir well and test thetemperature before serving.Adding Moisture Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules.Food that is uneven in moisture content should becovered or allowed to stand so that the heat dis-perses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dryfood to help it cook.General Tips • Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer toheat than lighter foods. Foods with a delicatetexture should be heated at a low power level toavoid becoming tough.• Altitude and the type of cookware you are usingcan affect cooking time. When using a newrecipe, use the minimum cooking time andcheck the food occasionally to prevent over-cooking.• Foods with a non-porous skin or shell, such aspotatoes, eggs, or hot dogs, should be piercedto prevent bursting.• Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommend-ed. Fat and oil can suddenly boil over andcause severe burns.• Some ingredients heat faster than others. Forexample, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut will behotter than the dough. Keep this in mind to avoidburns.• Home canning in the microwave oven is notrecommended because all harmful bacteria maynot be destroyed by the microwave heatingprocess.• Although microwaves do not heat the cook-ware, the heat is often transferred to the cook-ware. Always use pot holders when removingfood from the microwave and instruct childrento do the same.MU4290W1(mini)-SEA 6/3/00 12:39 AM Page 10

COOKINGINSTRUCTIONS12 COOKINGINSTRUCTIONS• Vegetables should be washed just before cook-ing. Often, no extra water is needed. If densevegetables such as potatoes, carrots and greenbeans are being cooked, add about 1/4 cupwater.• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, limabeans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acornsquash or corn on the cob, should be arranged ina circle on the turntable before cooking. Theywill cook more evenly if turned over after half thecooking time.• Always place vegetables like asparagus andbroccoli with the stem ends pointing towards theedge of the dish and the tips toward the center.• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover thedish with a lid or vented microwavable plasticwrap. • Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes,squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skinpricked in several spots before cooking to pre-vent them from bursting.• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange wholevegetables halfway through the cooking time.• Generally, the denser the food, the longer thestanding time. (Standing time refers to the timenecessary for dense, large foods and vegetablesto finish cooking after they come out of the oven.)A baked potato can stand on the counter for fiveminutes before cooking is completed, while a dishof peas can be served immediately.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 MicrowaveGUIDE for Cooking Seafood in Your Microwave• Cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork.• Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. • Use a tight cover to steam fish.

APPENDIX16 APPENDIXTroubleshooting 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, makesure the wall switch is turned on. • Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten sec-onds, then plug it in again. • Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.• Plug another appliance into the outlet; if theother appliance doesn’t work, have a qualifiedelectrician repair the outlet. • Plug the oven into a different outlet.The oven’s display works, but the power won’tcome on.• Make sure the door is closed securely.• Check to see if packing material or other materi-al is stuck to the door seal. • Check for door damage.• Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blownfuse. The food is cooking too slowly.• Make sure the oven is on its own 15 amp circuitline. Operating another appliance on the samecircuit can cause a voltage drop. If necessary,move the oven to its own circuit.You see sparks or arcing.• Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, ormetal ties. If using foil, use only narrow stripsand allow at least one inch between the foil andinterior oven walls.The turntable makes noises or sticks.• Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor. • Make sure the turntable and roller ring are posi-tioned correctly.Using your microwave causes TV or radio interfer-ence.• This is similar to the interference caused byother small appliances, such as hair dryers.Move your microwave further away from otherappliances, like your TV or radio.Care and CleaningFollow these instructions to clean and care foryour oven.• Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food parti-cles and spilled liquids can stick to the ovenwalls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.• Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp clothand mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents orabrasives. • To help loosen baked on food particles or liq-uids, heat two cups of water (add the juice ofone lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh)in a four-cup measuring glass at High power forfive minutes or until boiling. Let stand in theoven for one or two minutes. • Remove the glass tray from the oven whencleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the trayfrom breaking, handle it carefully and do not putit in water immediately after cooking. Wash thetray carefully in warm sudsy water or in thedishwasher. • Clean the outside surface of the oven with soapand a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. To pre-vent damage to the operating parts of the oven,don’t let water seep into the openings.• Wash the door window with very mild soap andwater. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoidscratching.• If steam accumulates inside or outside the ovendoor, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumu-late when operating the oven in high humidityand in no way indicates microwave leakage.• Never operate the oven without food in it; thiscan damage the magnetron tube or glass tray.You may wish to leave a cup of water in theoven when it is not in use to prevent damage ifthe oven is accidentally turned on.If you have a problem you cannot solve, please call our service line:1-800-SAMSUNGMU4290W1(mini)-SEA 6/3/00 12:39 AM Page 16
