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.

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.

When heating has finished you will hear beeps .

Note:

Power level must always be programmed for first

stage - 100% =10.

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 prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out while heating.

MANUAL COOKING

Defrosting tips

• When using the defrost weight feature, the weight

entered should always be pounds (valid entries are from

0.1 to 6.0 pounds).

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

• 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 in a 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.

• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated frozen pieces of food 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

• Roast beef or pork

• Steaks, chops or fish

• Ground meat

Normal amount

2.5 to 6 lbs.

(40 to 96 oz.)

0.5 to 3 lbs. (8 to 48 oz.)

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.

After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed 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 5 to 10 minutes.

After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil for 5 to 10 minutes.

• Whole chicken

• Chicken pieces

2.5 to 6 lbs. (40 to 96 oz.)

0.5 to 3 lbs. (8 to 48 oz.)

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.

After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.

Page 25

COOKING CHARTS

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 ¼ cup 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.

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 with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.

• 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 longer 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.

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, if needed.

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.

 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 1 or 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.

 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.
