INSTALLATION
A. GROUDING INSTRUCTION
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk if electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that
is properly installed and grounded.
Ensure proper ground exists before
use
B. CIRCUITS
For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a 15 Amp circuit. No other electrical
appliances or lighting circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed
electrician.
C. VOLTAGE WARNING
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the same as specified on the oven name
plate located in the back or on the side of the control panel of the oven. Use of a higher
voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of cause slow cooking. In case
your microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of proper voltage, remove and
reinsert the plug.
D. PLACEMENT OF THE OVEN
Your microwave oven can be placed easily in your kitchen, family room, or anywhere else
in your home. Place the oven in 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.
E. DO NOT BLOCK AIR VENTS
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. 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.
F. RADIO INTERFERENCE
1. Microwave oven operation may interfere with TV or radio reception.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the follow
measure:
a. Clean the door and the sealing surfaces of the oven.
MICROWAVE OVEN 5
b. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
c. Relocate the microwave oven on relation to TV or radio.
d. Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
e. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and
receiver are on different branch circuits.
WARNING
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if
the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded, and either:
1. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than
the electrical rating of the appliances, or…
2. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
NOTE:
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting form becoming
entangled in or tripping oven a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used of care is
exercised in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set
or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of appliance, (2)
the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
OTHER HELPFUL INFORMATION
PRECAUTIONS
* Be certain to place the front surface of the door three inches away or more from the
countertop edge to avoid accidental tipping of the appliance in normal usage.
* Be careful when taking the cooking utensils out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat
from the cooked food and may be hot.
* Do not rinse cooking utensils by immediately placing them into water just after cooking.
This may cause breakage. Allow the turntable to cool.
* Use only specific glass utensils. See cooking utensils section in this manual.
MICROWAVE OVEN 6
* Do not operate the oven empty. Either food or water should always be in the oven during
operation to absorb microwave energy.
* Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers or clothes. They can catch fire.
* Use only thermometers approved for microwave oven cooking.
* Be certain the turntable is in place when you operate the oven.
* Pierce the skin of potatoes, whole squash, apples, or any fruit or vegetable, which has a
skin covering before cooking.
* Never use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the shell. Pressure can build up inside
the shell causing it to burst.
* Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe container or commercial package
designed especially for microwave ovens. Never try to pop popcorn on a paper bag not
designed for microwave oven use. Overcooking may result in smoke and fire. Do not
repop unpopped kernels. Do not reuse popcorn bags.
GETTING THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR MICROWAVE
OVEN
Keep an eye on things. The instructions in this book have been formulated with
great care, but your success in preparing them 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 on 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 dish
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 food remain under-cooked at the lower end of cooking times. In general, you will
find that the food remains under-cooked 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 of the recipes, particularly those for
casseroles and custard, recommend that food be removed from the oven when they are
slightly undercooked. This is not 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
MICROWAVE OVEN 7
cooked all the way through, the outer portions will become overcooked or even burnt.
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 THECHIQUES IN MICROWAVE COOKING
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 and 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 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 oven: 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 cut-up 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 foods will cook evenly.
Elevating: Thick or dense foods are often elevated so that microwaves can be absorbed
by the underside and center of 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.
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? (3?) and 15? (8?) 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
MICROWAVE OVEN 8
heat unless they are supposed to be dry in texture (some caked and biscuits, for example).
Standing allows foods to finish cooking and also helps flavors to blend and develop.
HOW FOOD CHARACTERISTICS AFFECT MICROWAVE
COOKING
Density of food: Light, porous food like cakes and breads cook more quickly than heavy,
dense foods such as roasts and casserole. You must take care when microwaving porous
foods that the outer edges do not become fry 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 microwave 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.
Shape of foods: Microwaves penetrate only about 1 inch (2.5mm) into foods; the interior
portion of thick foods id cooked as the heat generated on the outer edge of any foods is
actually cooked by microwave energy; the rest is cooked by convection. It follows then
that the worst possible shape for a food that is to be microwave is a thick cube. The
corners will burn ling before the center is even warm. Round thin and ring 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 must 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.
When popping a popcorn;
Place carefully so the bag does not touch the oven walls. Fold
each end of the bag in half toward the center top of the bag.
COOKING UTENSILES
MICROWAVE-SAFE UTENSILS
Never use metal or metal-trimmed utensils in your microwave oven: Microwaves
cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal abject in the oven and cause
arcing, an alarming phenomenon that resembles lightening. Most heat-resistant
non-metallic cooking utensils are safe for use in your microwave oven. However, some
MICROWAVE OVEN 9
may contain materials that render them unsuitable as microwave cookware. If you have
any doubts about a particular utensil, there’s a simple way to find out if it can be used in
your microwave oven.
Testing utensils for microwave use: Place the utensil in question next to a glass bowl
filled with water in the microwave-safe. However, if the water does not change
temperature but the utensils become warm, microwaves are being absorbed by the utensil
and it is not safe for uses in the microwave oven. You probably have many items on hand
in your kitchen that can be used as cooking equipment in your microwave oven. Just read
through the following checklist.
1. Dinner plates: Many kinds of dinnerware are microwave-safe. If in doubt consult the
manufacture’s literature or perform the microwave test, above.
2. Glassware: Glassware that is heat-resistant is microwave-safe. This includes all
brands of oven-tempered glass cookware. However, do not use delicate glassware,
such as tumbler or wine glasses, as these might shutter as the food warm.
3. Paper: Paper plates and containers are convenient and safe to use in your
microwave oven, provided the cooking time is short and foods to be cooked are
low in fat and moisture. Paper towels are also very useful for wrapping foods and for
lining baking trays in which greasy foods, such as bacon, are cooked. In general,
avoid colored paper products as the color may run.
4. Plastic storage containers: These can be used to hold foods that area to be quickly
reheated. However, they should not be used to gold foods that will need considerable
time in the oven as hot foods will eventually warp or melt plastic containers.
5. Plastic cooking bags: These are microwave-safe provided they are specially made
for cooking. However, be sure to make a slit in the bag so that steam can escape.
Never use ordinary plastic bags for cooking in your microwave oven, as they will melt
and rupture.
6. Plastic microwave cookware: A variety of shaped and sized of microwave cookware
is available. For the most part, you can probably cook with items you already have on
hand rather than investing in new kitchen equipment.
7. Pottery, stoneware, and ceramic: Containers made of these materials are usually
game for use in your microwave oven, but they should be tested to be sure.
CAUTION: SOME ITEMS ARE NOT INTENDED FOR COOKING,
INCLUDING SOME STONEWARE AND ITEMS WITH HIGH IRON OR LEAD
