3IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS cont.23. To avoid exposure to dangerous high voltage, DONOT REMOVE THE SPLATTER SHIELDinside the oven cavity.24.Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able tobe overheated beyond the boiling point withoutappearing to be boiling due to surface tension ofthe liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when thecontainer is removed from the microwave oven isnot always present. THIS COULD RESULT INVERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILINGOVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHERUTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.To reduce the risk of injury to persons:1Do not overheat the liquid.2Stir the liquid both before and halfwaythrough heating it3Do not use straight-sided containers withnarrow necks.4After heating, allow the container to stand inthe microwave oven for a short time beforeremoving the container.5Use extreme care when inserting a spoon orother utensil into the container.25. Read and follow specific microwave ovenpreparation instructions on food packages orcontainers (especially baby food). Above all, thisis a cooking appliance designed to prepare food.26. Use only cooking utensils and accessories made foruse in the microwave and specifically described inthis manual.27. Microwave oven manufacturers do not recommenddeep fat frying or frying in a microwave oven. Hotoil can damage oven parts and utensils and evenresult in skin burns.28. Plastic wrap : Use only those types designed formicrowave oven use and avoid forming an air-tightseal. Fold back a small corner or cut a small slit toallow steam to escape.29. Stay near the appliance while it is in use and checkcooking progress frequently. Leaving the applianceunattended may reslut in overcooked food andpossibly a fire in your oven.30. Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tendto boil over more rapidly than foods containing lessmoisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care andCleaning section for insturctions on how to clean theinside of the oven.31. Do not use a thermometer in food you aremicrowaving unless the thermometer is designed orrecommended for use in the microwave oven.32. Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking isvery useful, but should be used carefully. Evenmicrowave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant ofovercooking conditions as are glass or ceramicmaterials and may soften or char if subjected toshort periods of overcooking. In longer exposures toovercooking, the food and cookware could ignite.For these reasons:1) Use microwave-safe plasticsonly and use them in strict compliance with thecookware manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Donot subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Donot permit children to use plastic cookware withoutcomplete supervision.33.

9Operating BasicsThe power levels on your microwave oven canbe compared to the surface units on a range.High (power level 10) or full power is the fastestway to cook and gives you 100% power.Each power level gives you microwave energyfor a certain percent of time, for example, powerlevel 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time.Most of your cooking will be done on High(Power Level 10). a lower setting will cookmore evenly and with less attention given tostirring or rotating the food. Some foods mayhave better flavor, texture or appearance if oneof the lower settings is used. You may wish touse a lower power level when cooking foods thathave a tendency to boil over, such as scallopedpotatoes. Cooking times will increase as powerlevel decreases.Power Level Best UsesHigh 10 Fish, bacon, vegetables,boiling liquids.Medium 7 Gentle cooking of meat andPoultry, baking casserolesand reheating.Medium 5 Slow cooking andtenderizing for stewsand less tender cuts of meat.Low 3 Defrosting, simmering,delicate sauces.Warm 1 Keeping food warm withoutovercooking, softeningbutter.Power Level Cooking GuideBasic Instructions1.
