SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

ARCING

FOODS

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold-rimmed dishes, in the microwave.

• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.

• Only cook popcorn in your microwave oven using a special microwave popcorn accessory dish, unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

• Some products such as whole eggs (with shell), sealed containers, and closed jars –will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Heating these products in the microwave oven could result in injury.

• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

• Operating the microwave with no food inside for more than a minute or two may cause damage to the oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the oven.

• Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape before cooking.

If you see arcing, press the

“STOP/Clear” button and

correct the problem.

Microwave Terms

m Definition

Arcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by :

• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

• Foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

• Metal such as twist ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.

• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

Covering Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking

time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.

Shielding In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent

over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook before larger parts.

Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are

allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.

Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning

back one corner so excess steam can escape.

Helpful Information

• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding when warming formula. The container may feel cooler than the milk really is.

Always test the milk before feeding the baby.

• Spontaneous boiling-Under certain circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we recommend the following: before removing the container from the oven, allow the container to stand in the oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in narrow-necked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine flasks and especially narrow-necked coffee cups. Even if the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst or overflow.

• Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bot tles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any contain ers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.

• Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160 F (71.1C). and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180 F (82.2C). Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against food borne illness.

SAFETY FACT

SUPERHEATED WATER

Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all. Superheated liquid can bubble up when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it. To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for 30 seconds before moving it or putting anything into it.

SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE

Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which do not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.”

• If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

• Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon fila ment should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

• Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

• Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.

• “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

• Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

How to test for a microwavesafe dish:

1 Place in the oven both the

dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water

2 Set the measuring cup either

in or next to the dish.

3 Microwave 1 minute at high.

If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.

To Cancel the KITCHEN TIMER:

1. Touch “Stop/Clear”. The display will resume showing the

clock (if set).

NOTE: The KITCHEN TIMER program can not be used in conjunction with, or during the process of, any other programs.

• Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4” high; remove the top foil cover and return the tray to the box. When using foil in the microwave oven, keep the foil at least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.

• Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwavesafe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to over-cooking, the food and cookware could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

1 Use microwave-safe plastics

only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations.

2 Do not microwave empty

containers.

3 Do not permit children to use

plastic cookware without complete supervision.

Defrost Guide

DEFROST (By Time)

• Allows you to defrost for the length of time you select.

• Depending on the time entered, during the defrost program the oven may stop and beep 3 times. At this time, turn the food over and break apart or rearrange pieces for more even defrosting.

Touch “START/+30Sec.”to resume the program.

NOTE: During DEFROST BY TIME (dEF2) and DEFROST BY WEIGHT (dEF1) a dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting. This sound is normal when the oven is not operating at High power.

1 Touch “DEFROST” pad

twice. “dEF2” appears on the display.

2 Enter defrosting time

using the Number pad.

3 Touch “START/+30Sec.”.

Operating Instructions

DEFROST (By Weight)

1 Touch the “DEFROST” pad.

“dEF1” appears on the display.

2 Enter weight in ounces

using the number pad.

3 Press “START/+30Sec.”.

• The defrost time is determined by the weight of the food.

• The weight to be defrosted

must be entered in ounces.

Conversion Guide

If the weight of food is shown only in pounds, the pounds must be converted to ounces.

Defrosting Tips

• Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package. Tightly closed packages should

be slit, pierced or vented. AFTER food has partially been defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered.

• Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil

container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed

to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

• When defrosted, food should be cool and softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the

microwave very briefly , or let it stand a few minutes.

Changing the Power Levels

How to Change the Power Level

The power level is lowered from the default 100% (PL10) by touching “POWER”.

Variable power levels add microwave flexibility to microwave cooking. The power level on the microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. The power level of PL10 is 100% (or full) power, and this is the fastest way to cook. Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the time . PL7 (power level 7) is microwave energy 70% of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time. At the default setting (High) food will cook faster but it may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. Most cooking will be done on default (High/PL10). A lower setting will cook more evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes. Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off) give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat to the inside of the food. An example of this is shown with power level 3-the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food would cook before the inside was defrosted.

Here are some examples of uses for various power levels:

Power Level Best Uses Default (100%) Fish, bacon,

(PL10) vegetables,

boiling liquids.

Med-High 7-9 Gentle cooking (70-90%) of meat and

poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.

Medium 5-6 Slow cooking (50-60%) and tenderizing

such as stews and less tender cuts of meat.

Low 3-4 Defrosting (30-40%) without cooking;

simmering; delicate sauces.

Warm 1-2 Keeping food (10-20%) warm without

overcooking; softening butter.

SINGLE STAGE Cooking:

1. Touch “POWER”.

2. Continue to touch

“POWER”to lower the power level until the desired power level is displayed (see table below).

3. Enter cooking time.

4. Touch “START/+30Sec.”.

MULTI-STAGE Cooking:

1. Repeat above steps 1-3 for

up to 2 separate cooking stages.

2. Touch “START/+30Sec.”.
