Microwave utensil guide

Use Do not use

Oven proof glass (specifically
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.
Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid

freezer containers and plastic bags for

short cooking times. 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:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.

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 of the oven cavity and door of the microwave.

Wood:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when

you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react
in the same way.

Tightly covered utensils:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered
cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items
before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode.

Defrosting tips

• When using the defrost weight feature, the weight
entered should always be pounds (valid entries are from
0,3 to 6.3 pounds).

Use both defrost weight and defrost time features for •
raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when

food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly
from a true freezer). If the food has been stored ina •

refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature
of 5° F or below, always program a lower food weight or
lower cook time to prevent cooking the food. •

• If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20
minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.

The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly
than a deep frozen block of food,

Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated
frozen pieces offood defrost better.

Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of foil if they
start to become warm.

You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food
items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails, but do
not allow the foil to touch the oven cavity walls when

defrosting.

Defrosting suggestions for meats

For best results, please read these suggestions when defrosting meats.

Meat Normal amount

• Roast beef or pork 40 to 96 oz.
(2.5 to 6 Ibs.)

Suggestions

Start with the food placed fat side down. After each stage, turn the

food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum
foil. Let stand, covered for 15-30 minutes.

Steaks, chops or fish

• Ground meat After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted.

• Whole chicken

• Chicken pieces After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are

8 to 48 oz,
(0.5 to 3 Ibs.)

portions of food, shield them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum foil.
Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand,

covered for about 5to 10 minutes.

Let stand, covered with foil for 5 to 10 minutes.

Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start defrsoting with the
breast side down. After the 1st stage, turn the chicken over and
shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After the
2nd stage, again shield any warm portions with narrow strips of

aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for 30 to 60 minutes in the

refrigerator.

Suggested power levels for cooking

The 10 power levels available with this microwave will help
you to adjust to the power output best suited for the food
type you are preparing. As with any food prepartion in the
microwave, it is best to follow the microwave instructions
that are printed on food packaging.

The table below provides suggested power levels for various
types of food that you can be prepare in the microwave.

Suggestions for getting
the best results

To help you achieve the best possible results from your
microwave oven, read the following suggestions below;

• Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to
cook than the same foods would at room temperature.

Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces

similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when
cooked together. For more even results, reduce the
power levels when cooking large pieces of food.

• Natural moisture

Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave

energy heats water molecules very efficiently.

Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the
outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly.
This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is
not necessary.

Raise yeast dough.

Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole

cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help
to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

• Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus
tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.

Food arrangement

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces

or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the
outside of the turntable tray.

Let the food stand

After removing the food from the microwave, cover the
food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish

cooking. This will help the food finish in the center and
avoids overcooking the out edges, The length of stand
time depends on the density and surface area of the food

items.

Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper

Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-
baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the
microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out
while heating.

Sensor cook operating tips

Sensor reheat (cont'd)

The Sensor Cook catagories are designed to detect the
increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking
process, The microwave oven sensor will automatically
adjust the cooking time to the the type and amount of food.
The food catagories that are controlled with the humidity

sensor are:

• sensorreheat • freshveggie

• frozen pizza • frozenveggie

• fish • potato

• meat • frozenentr6e

For best results, do not use one of the Sensor Cook
catagories twice in succession on the same food portion -

this may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. Ifthe
food appears to be undercooked, use one of the EasySet
pads or cook time pads to add more time,

Additional sensor cook suggestions are:

• Never start with less than 4 oz. of food.

• Use proper containers and covers for best sensor
cooking results,

• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them
with loose fitting lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use

tight sealing plastic containers - they will prevent steam

from escaping and this will mislead the sensor; usually

causing the food to overcook,

• Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the
cavity of the microwave oven are dry before placing food
in the oven. Excessive moisture turning into steam not
resulting from the food cooking can mislead the sensor.

Sensor reheat

The sensor reheat feature is designed to detect the
increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking
process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically
adjust the cooking time to the the type and amount of food,

The food types to avoid using the reheat are;

• Uncooked orrawfoods.

• Bread and other dry types of food such as crackers,
biscuits or cakes,

• Beverages or frozen foods.

• Frozen pizza,

Notes concerning sensor reheat:

• For casseroles - add 2 to 3 tablespoons of liquid, cover
with lid or vented plastic wrap. Stir when instructed from
display.

• For canned foods - empty contents of can into a
casserole dish or serving bowl; cover dish with lid or
vented plastic wrap, Let stand a few minutes before
serving.

• For casseroles - add 2 to 3 tablespoons of liquid, cover
with lid or vented plastic wrap, Stir when instructed from
display.

• For plates of food - arrange food on plate and add any
butter or gravies, etc, Cover with loose fitting lid or vented
plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand a few minutes
before serving.

cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.

Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if
overcooked.

Cooking vegetables in your microwave

Vegetables should be washed just before cooking,

Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such
as potatoes, carrots and greens are being cooked, add
about 1¼cup of water,

Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.)
will cook faster than larger vegetables,

Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or

corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the
turntable before cooking, The will cook more evenly if
turned over halfway through cooking,

Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli

with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish
and the tips toward the center,

When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with

a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.

Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash,

eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several
locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.

For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole
vegetables halfway through the cook time.

Most of the time, the denser the food the long the
required standing time. For example, a baked potato
should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of
peas may be served immediately.

Cooking seafood in your microwave

Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish, Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily

Cleaning suggestions

For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven
clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the
inner door panel and oven fron frame free of food and grease
build-up.

Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the
microwave, Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a
soft cloth and and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution.
Then rinse and wipe completely dry,

Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel,
especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.

Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, ifneeded.

Follow these instructions to clean and care for your
microwave oven:

• Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles

and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing
the oven to work less efficiently.

• Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth

and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh detergents or
abrasive cleaners.

• Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and
water. Be sure to use a soft clean cloth to avoid

scratching.

If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door,
wipe with a soft cloth, Steam can accumulate when
operating the oven in high humidity and in no way
indicates microwave leakage,

Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity;
this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray, You
may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven
when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.

To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2

cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to
keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass
at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in
oven cavity for 1or 2 minutes.

Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when
cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To prevent the glass
turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put
it in water immediately after cooking, Wash the turntable
tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher,

Clean the outside surface of the microwave with soap
and a clean damp cloth. Dry with a clean soft cloth. To
prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do not
let water seep into any vents or openings.
