—Do not operate the oven

while empty to avoid damage to

the oven and the danger of fire.

If

by accident the oven should run empty a minute or two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid operating the oven empty

at all

times—it saves energy

and

prolongs the life of the oven.

—Do not overcook potatoes.

They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

●

Do not use the oven for storage

purposes.

Do not

leave

paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

●

If materials inside oven

should ignite,

keep oven door

closed, turn oven off, and

disconnect power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

●

Some products such as whole

eggs and sealed

containers—

for example, closed jars—will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury.

●

Avoid heating baby food

glass jars, even without their

lids;

especially meat and egg mixtures.

Q

Don’t defrost frozen

beverages

in narrow necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

●

Use metal only as directed in

this book.

TV dinners maybe microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4” high; remove top foil cover and return tray to box. When

●

Cookware may become hot

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

Sometimes, the oven tray can

become too hot to touch.

Be

careful touching the tray during

and after cooking.

●

Foods cooked in liquids

(such

as pasta) may tend to boil over

more rapidly than foods containing less moisture.

Should

this occur, refer to page 24 for

clean

instructions on how to

the

inside of the oven.

●

Thermometer—Do

not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

●

Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should

carefully. Even microwave-safe 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 overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite. For these reasons: 1 ) Use microwave-safe plastics only and

use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware

without complete supervision.

●

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.

●

Foods with unbroken outer

“skin”

such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks

(see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

●

plastic wrap is suitable

for use in microwave ovens.

Check the package for proper use.

●

Spontaneous

boiling—Under

certain special circumstances,

liquids may start to boil during or

shortly after removal from the

microwave oven. To prevent

burns from splashing liquid, stir

the liquid briefly before

removing the container from the

microwave oven.

●

$~Boilab]eJ>

cooking pouches

and tightly closed plastic bags

should be slit, pierced or vented

as directed on package. If they

are not, plastic could burst during

or immediately after cooking,

possibly resulting in injury. Also,

plastic storage containers should

beat least partially uncovered

because they form a tight

sea].

When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

●

Hot foods and steam can

cause burns. Be

careful when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.

Questions and Answers

Q. What will happen if I accidentally reverse my defrost, hold and cook instructions?

A. The oven will automatically

rearrange your program. Defrosting will always come first, then hold, and then the cooking function.

Q. Can I defrost and hold only? A. Yes. Sometimes you may only

want to defrost a food, hold it, and cook it program in defrost and amount time. Then program the hold time. Be sure to put the thawed dish in the refrigerator promptly.

NOTE: Foods that are highly perishable, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry should not be allowed to sit out

for

defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

Q. I programmed my oven for a specific defrosting time but it defrosted longer than necessary. What happened?

Defrosting

Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of frozen food and is one of the great advantages of a microwave oven.

● Power level

for

defrosting, but

3

is automatically set

you

may change

this for more flexibility.

● See the Defrosting Guide for

defrosting help. To become better acquainted with

the defrost function, defrost frozen

pork chops by following the steps

below.

Step 1:

Pltice a

package of frozen chops in the oven and close the door. Be sure the package contains

no metal.

Step 2: Touch TIME DEFROST. Step 3:

Select one half of the total defrosting time recommended in the Defrosting Guide. For example, touch 4, 0 and O for 4 minutes.

How to Change Power Level

After setting defrosting time, touch POWER LEVEL pad, then touch desired number for

new power level.

Step

4: Touch START. When

the

cycle

is completed, the oven signals and flashes “End,” then automatically shuts off.

Step 5: Turn the package over, close the door and repeat Steps 2 and

3

to set the remaining half of

defrosting time and

touch

START.

Step 6: When the oven signals and flashes “End,” open the door, remove the package and separate chops to finish defrosting.

Defrosting Tips

● Foods frozen in paper or plastic

can be defrosted in the package.

● For even defrosting, some foods

need to be broken up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time.

● Family-size, pre-packaged frozen

dinners can be defrosted and

microwaved. If the food is in a

foil container, transfer it to a

microwave-safe dish.

● Check the Defrosting Guide for

other defrosting tips.

Questions and Answers

Q. When I press START, I hear a dull, thumping noise. What is it?

A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the oven is using

a

power level lower than 10 (High).

Q.

Can

I defrost small items in a

hurry? A. Yes, but they will need more

frequent attention than usual. Raise the power level after entering the time by touching the desired power

level pad. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about 1/2; Power level 10 cuts the total defrosting time to approximately

1/3. During either, rotate or stir

food frequently. Q. Why don’t the defrosting

times in the Defrosting Guide seem right for my food?

A. These times are averages.

Defrosting time can vary according to the temperature in your freezer.

Set your oven for the time

indicated in

If your food is thawed at the end of that time, reset your oven and adjust the time accordingly.

Q. Should all foods be completely

thawed before cooking? A. Some foods should not be

completely thawed before cooking.

For example, fish cooks so quickly

it is better to begin cooking

it is still slightly frozen. Q. Can I open the door during

defrosting to check on the progress of my

Glossary of Microwave Terms

When adapting recipes for the microwave, it is best to start with a familiar recipe. Knowing how the food should look and taste will help when adapting recipes for microwaving. Foods that require browning or crisp, dry surfaces will cook better conventionally.

●

Moist foods,

such as vegetables, fruits, poultry

and

seafood, microwave well.

● Rich

foods,

such as

candies, are suitable

may need to be reduced. Salt meats and

vegetables after cooking. Covering. In both conventional and microwave

cooking, covers hold in

moisture, allow for more even

heating and reduce cooking time. Conventionally, partial covering plastic wrap

allows

excess steam to escape. Venting

or

covering with wax paper serves the

same purpose when microwaving. Venting. After covering a dish with plastic wrap,

you

vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.

Arranging Food in Oven.

In conventional baking, you

position foods, such as cake layers or potatoes, so hot air can

flow

around them. When microwaving, you arrange foods in a ring, so that all sides are exposed to microwave energy.

Stirring. In range-top cooking, you stir foods up from the bottom to heat them evenly. When microwaving, you stir cooked portions from the outside to the center. Foods that require constant stirring conventionally will need only occasional stirring when microwaving.

Turning Over.

In range-top cooking, you turn over

foods, such as hamburgers, so both sides can directly

contact the hot pan. When microwaving, turning is

often

needed during defrosting or when cooking certain

foods, such

Basic Microwave Guidelines

Density of Food. In both conventional and microwave

cooking, dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to cook than light, porous foods, such as rolls, bread pieces

of

cake.

Round Shapes. Since microwaves penetrate foods to about one inch from top, bottom and sides, round shapes and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive more energy and may overcook. This may also happen when cooking conventionally.

Delicacy. Foods with a delicate texture, such as custards, are best cooked at lower power settings to avoid toughening.

Natural Moisture of food affects how it cooks. Very moist foods cook attracted to water molecules.

evenly

because microwave energy is

can disperse evenly. Piece Size. Small pieces cook faster than large ones.

Pieces that are similar in size and shape cook more

evenly. With large pieces

of food, reduce the power

setting for even cooking.

Shape of Food. In both types of cooking, thin areas cook faster than thick areas. This can be controlled in

microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside

edge and thin pieces in the center. Starting Temperature. Foods taken from the freezer or

refrigerator take longer to cook than foods at room temperature. Timings in our recipes are based on the temperatures at which you normally store the foods.

Quantity of Food. In both types of cooking, amounts usually take less time than large amounts. This

is most apparent in microwave cooking, where time is

directly related to the number of servings. Shelf (on models so equipped). Use the shelf to heat
