STEP 5: INSTALL THE MOUNTING PLATE
TO PREPARETHE REAR WALL CUTOUT
OPENING AND EXHAUST
ADAPTOR/MOUNTING PLATE FOR WALL- VENTED:
1. Place the mounting plate against the rear wall as described in step 5 item 1 (page 14).
2. Using a pencil, put dots through slots F and G, and through holes H and I. Remove the mounting plate and
draw lines extending through the points. This will give the location and size of the box cutout for the rear wall duct.
Attach the exhaust adaptor to the rear mounting plate by sliding it into the guides at the top center of the plate on
the wall side. Push in securely until it is past the top locking tabs and in the lower locking tabs. Take care to assure the damper hinge is installed so that it is at the top and that the damper swings freely.
Carefully guide the exhaust adaptor, now attached to the mounting plate, into the house duct, before using the screws to attach the plate to the wall. This will assure proper alignment for installation.
Return to step 5, item 3 (page 14) to continue. After completing the installation of the mounting plate, again check the rear damper for free movement to assure it will operate properly.

DEFROSTING 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).
Only use AUTO DEFROST 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 aluminum foil to shield foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil can damage the oven lining.
Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.
For better results, a preset standing time is included in the defrosting time.

COOKING
GETTING THE BEST COOKING RESULTS
To 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.
FISH & SHELLFISH
Cooking Fish and Shellfish: General Directions
Prepare the fish for cooking.
- Completely defrost the fish or shellfish.
- Arrange unevenly shaped pieces with thicker parts toward the outside of the dish. Arrange shellfish in a
single layer for even cooking.
- The type of cover you use depends on how you cook. Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or vented
plastic wrap.
- Baked fish, coated fish, or fish in sauce needs to be covered lightly with waxed paper to keep the coating
crisp and sauce from getting watery.
Fish And Shellfish Cooking Table
FISH COOKING TIME DIRECTIONS
Fish fillets HI 31/2-41/2minutes
Fish steaks HI 41/2-51/2minutes
Whole fish 7 41/2-6minutes
POWER
LEVEL
Arrange fish in a single layer with thickest portion toward
outside edge of 11/2quart microwavable baking dish. Brush with melted butter and season, if desired. Cook covered with vented plastic wrap. Let stand covered 2 minutes. If you are cooking more than 1 lb. of fish, turn the
fish halfway through cooking.
- Always set the shortest cooking time. Fish is done when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to
flake. Shellfish is done when the shell turns from pink to red and the flesh is opaque and firm.
The Fish and Shellfish Cooking Table below provides specific directions with Power Level and Cooking Time
settings for most types of fish and shellfish.

COOKING
APPETIZERS / SAUCES / SOUPS
Cooking Appetizers: Tips and Techniques Recommended
Crisp crackers, such as melba toast, shredded wheat, and crisp rye crackers are best for microwave use. Wait until party time to add the spreads. Place a paper towel under the crackers while they cook in the
microwave oven to absorb extra moisture.
Arrange individual appetizers in a circle for even
cooking.
Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time.
Cooking Sauces: Tips and Techniques
Use a microwavable casserole or glass measuring cup that is at least 2 or 3 times the volume of the sauce.
Sauces made with cornstarch thicken more rapidly than those made with flour.
Cooking Soups: Tips and Techniques
Cook soups in a microwavable dish which holds double the volume of the recipe ingredients to prevent
boil-over, especially if you use cream or milk in the
soup.
Generally, cover microwaved soups with VENTED
plastic wrap or a microwavable lid.
Cover foods to retain moisture. Uncover foods to retain crispness.
Avoid overcooking by using the minimum suggested time. Add more time, if necessary, only after checking
the food.
MEAT
Cooking Meat: General Directions
Prepare the meat for cooking.
- Defrost completely.
- Trim off excess fat to avoid splattering.
- Place the meat, fat side down, on a microwavable rack in a microwavable dish.
- Use oven cooking bag for less tender cuts of meat.
- Arrange the meat so that thicker portions are toward
the outside of the dish.
- Cover the meat with waxed paper to prevent
splattering.
Tend the meat as it cooks.
- Drain juices as they accumulate to reduce splattering
and keep from overcooking the bottom of the meat.
- Shield thin or bony portions with strips of foil to prevent overcooking.
NOTE: Keep the foil at least 1 inch from the oven walls,
and do not cover more than one-third of the meat with foil at any one time.
Let the meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after you remove it from the oven. The internal
temperature of the meat may rise from 5-10°F during standing time.
The Meat Cooking Table on the next page provides detailed directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time settings for most cuts of meat.
Not Recommended
Appetizers with a crisp coating or puff pastry are best done in a conventional oven with dry heat.
Breaded products can be warmed in the microwave oven but will not come out crisp.
Cook sauces made with cornstarch or flour uncovered so you may stir them 2 or 3 times during cooking for a
smooth consistency.
To adapt a conventional sauce or gravy recipe, reduce the amount of liquid slightly.
Stirring occasionally will help blend flavors, distribute
heat evenly, and may even shorten the cooking time.
When converting a conventional soup recipe to cook in the microwave, reduce the liquid, salt, and strong seasonings.

COOKING
PASTA AND RICE
Microwave cooking and conventional cooking of pasta, rice, and cereal require about the same amount of time, but the microwave is a more convenient method because you can cook and serve in the same dish.
There is no stirring needed and leftover pasta tastes just like fresh cooked when reheated in the microwave oven.
Cooking Pasta and Rice: Tips and Techniques
If you are planning to use rice or pasta in a casserole, undercook it so it is still firm.
Allow for standing time with rice, but not for pasta.
The Pasta and Rice Cooking Tables below provide specific directions, with Power Level and cooking time settings for most common types of pasta and rice.

RECOMMENDED UTENSIL
MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE
USE DO NOTUSE
OVENPROOF 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 time. Use
these with care because the plastic
may soften from the heat of the food.
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:
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.
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.
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.

covered for additional time after cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish, saves energy, and frees the oven for other
purpose.
Can 1pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do I get the best results?
Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer's guidelines or use the preprogrammed Popcorn pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the listening test by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a pop every one or two seconds. Do not try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use special microwave poppers. When using a popper, be sure to follow manufacturer's directions. Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the top vent.
