Food Characteristics Quantity
Two potatoes take longer to cook than one potato. As the
Bone and Fat
Both bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may cause
irregular cooking. Meat next to the tips of bones may
overcook while meat positioned under a large bone, such
as a ham bone, may be undercooked. Large amounts of fat
absorb microwave energy and the meat next to these areas
may overcook.
Density
Porous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls take less
time to cook than heavy, dense foods such as potatoes
and roasts. When reheating donuts or other foods with
different centers be very careful. Certain foods have
centers made with sugar, water, or fat and these centers
attract microwaves (For example, jelly donuts). When a jelly
donut is heated, the jelly can become extremely hot while
the exterior remains warm to the touch. This could result in
a burn if the food is not allowed to cool properly inthe
center.
quantity of the food decreases so does the cooking time.
Overcooking will cause the moisture content in the food to
decrease and afire could result. Never leave microwave
unattended while in use.
Shape
Uniform sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a
drumstick will cook more quickly than the meaty end. To
compensate for irregular shapes, place thin parts toward
the center of the dish and thick pieces towerd the edge.
Starting Temperature
Foods that are at room temperature take less time to cook
than if they are chilled, refrigerated, or frozen.
2O
Cooking Techniques
Piercing
Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced scored or
have a strip of skin peeled before cooking to allow steam to
escape. Pierce clams, oyster, chicken livers, whole
potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole apples or new
potatoes should have a 1-inch strip of skin peeled before
cooking. Score sausages and frankfurters. Do not
Cook/Reheat whloe eggs with or without the shell. Steam
build up in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and
possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating
SLICED hard-boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs
is safe.
Spacing
Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes and
appetizers, will cook more evenly if placed in the oven
equal distances apart. When possible, arrange foods in a
circular pattern.
Covering
As with conventional cooking, moisture evaporates during
microwave cooking. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used
for a tighter seal. When using plastic wrap, vent the plastic
wrap by folding back part of the plastic wrap from the edge
of the dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or remove
plastic wrap as recipe directs for stand time. When
removing plastic wrap covers, as well as any glas lids, be
careful to remove them away from you to avoid steam
burns. Various degrees of moisture retention are also
obtained by using wax paper or paper towels.
Shielding
Thin areas of meat and poultry cook more quickly than
meaty portions. To prevent overcooking, these thin areas
can be shielded with strips of aluminium foil. Wooden
toothpicks may be used to hold the foil in place.
Stirring
Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking.
Always bring the cooked outside edges toward the center
and the less cooked center portions toward the outside of
the dish.
Rearranging
Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces, shrimp,
hamburger patties, or pork chops. Rearrange pieces from
the edge to the center and pieces from the center to the
edge of the dish.
Turning
It is not possible to stir some foods to distribute the heat
evently. At times, microwave energy will concentrate in one
area of the food. To help insure even cooking, these food
need to be turned. Turn over large foods, such as roasts or
turkeys, halfway through cooking.
Stand Time
Most foods will continue to cook by conduction after the
microwave oven is turned off. In meat cookery, the internal
temperature will rise 5 °F to 15 °F (3 °C to 8°C), if allowed to
stand, tented with foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Casseroles and
vegetables need a shorter amount of standing time, but this
standing time is necessary to allow fooods to complete
cooking to teh center without overcooking on the edges.
Test for Doneness
The same tests for doneness used in conventional cooking
may be used for microwave cooking. Meat is done when
fork-tender or splits at fibers. Chicken is done when juices
are clear yellow and drumstick moves freely. Fish is done
when it flakes and is opaque. Cake is done when a
toothpick or cake tester is inserted and comes out clean.
About food Safety and cooking
tem peratu re
Caution: Is to be exercised when using foil. Arcing can
occur iffoil is too close to oven wall or door and damage to
your oven will result.
Cooking time
A range of cooking time is given in each recipe. The time
range compensates for the uncontrollable differences in
food shapes, starting temperature, and regional
preferences. Always cook food for the minimum cooking
time given in a recipe and check for doneness. If the food is
undercooked, continue cooking. It is easier to add time to
an undercooked product. Once the food is overcooked,
nothing can be done.
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United
States Department of Agriculture's recommended
temperatures.
TEMP FOOD
160 °F ...for fresh pork, ground meat, fish, seafood, egg
dishes and frozen prepared food.
165 °F ...for leftover, ready-t-reheat refrigerated, and
deli and carryout "fresh" food.
180 °F ...poultry
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick
or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the
thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is
approved for microwave oven use.

Container Test
To test a container for safe microwave oven use
Filla microwave safe cup with cool water and place it inthe
microwave oven alongside the empty container to be
tested; heat one (1) minute at P10 (HIGH). If the
container is microwave oven safe (transparent to
microwave energy), the empty container should remain
comfortably cool and the water should be hot. If the
container is hot, it has absorbed some microwave energy
and should NOT be used. This test cannot be used for
plastic containers.
Tables and tips
This table contains a selection of dishes and the optimum
settings at which to cook them. You can use the table to
look up which microwave setting, type of heating, and
temperature are most suitable for your dish, and which
accessories to use.
Defrosting, heating up and cooking with the
microwave
The following tables provide you with numerous options
and adjustment values for the microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They
may vary according to the ovenware used, the quality,
temperature, and consistency of the food.
It may be that you have different quantities from those
specified in the tables.
A rule of thumb can be applied:
double the amount double the cooking time,
half the amount half the cooking time.
Place the ovenware in the center of the glass tray. The food
will absorb the microwaves from all sides.
Defrosting
,_. Place the frozen food in an open container on the glass
tray.
Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or
fatty outer layers of roasts can be covered with small
pieces of aluminum foil. The foil must not touch the
oven walls. You can remove the foil halfway through the
defrosting time.
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting
time. Large pieces of food should be turned several
times. Turn to remove any liquid that results from
defrosting.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for
a further 10 minutes to 1 hour so that the temperature
can even out. The giblets can be removed from poultry
at this point.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the
shortest time first and then extend the time if necessary.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave
Oven
Caution: It is important to keep the oven clean and dry.
Food residue and condensation may cause rusting or
arcing and damage to the oven. After use, wipe dry all
surfaces-including vent openings, oven seams, and under
Glass Tray.
Before Cleaning
Unplug oven at wall outlet. If outlet is inaccessible, leave
oven door open while cleaning. Make sure parts are cool.
After Cleaning
Be sure to place the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray inthe
proper position and press Pause/Stop Pad to clear the
Display.
Inside of the oven
Wipe with a damp cloth after using. Mild detergent may be
used if needed. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
Outside oven surfaces
Clean with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the
operating parts inside the oven, water should not be
allowed to seep into ventilation openings.
Steam will be given off cooking food and collect on the
oven walls and door. During conditions of high humidity,
steam may occur on the outside of the oven and in no way
indicates a malfunction. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
When cleaning the Control Panel, leave the oven door open
to prevent the oven from accidentally turning on. After
cleaning, press Pause/Stop Pad to return to time-of-day.
Caution: Do not remove waveguide cover.
It is important to keep cover clean inthe same manner as
the inside of the oven.
Maintenance
Before Requesting Service
These things are normal
The oven causes interference with my TV.
Some radio and TV interference might occur when you
cook with the microwave oven. This interference is
similar to the interference caused by small appliances
such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not
indicate a problem with your oven.
Steam accumulates on the oven door and warm air
comes from the oven vents.
,_, During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from
the food. Most of the steam and warm air are removed
from the oven by the air which circulates in the oven
cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler
surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal. After
use, the oven should be wiped dry.
Oven Door
Wipe with a soft dry cloth when steam accumulates inside
or around the outside of the oven door. During cooking,
especially under high humidity conditions, steam is given
off from the food. (Some steam will condense on cooler
surfaces, such as the oven door. This is normal). Inside
surface is covered with a heat and vapor barrier film. Do
not remove.
Glass Tray
Remove and wash in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.
Control Panel
Covered with a removable protective film to prevent
scratches during shipping. Small bubbles may appear
under this film. (Hint To remove film, apply masking or
clear tape to an exposed corner and pull gently.)
Ifthe Control Panel becomes wet, clean itwith a soft dry
cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
