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, prepackaged 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

Cooking by Time
Time Cook allows you to
microwave for a selected
amount of time.
Power Level 10 (High) is
recommended for most cooking,
but you may change this for more
flexibility. See the Cooking Guide.
To become better acquainted with
time cooking, make a cup of coffee
by following the steps below.
Step 1: Fill a cup 2/3 full of water,
add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee
and stir to dissolve. Use a cup that
has no metal decoration and is
microwave-safe (refer to
Microwaving Tips in the Safety
Instructions section). Place cup in
oven and close door.

Questions and Answers
Q. I set my oven for the time
called for in the recipe, but at the
end of the time allowed, my food
was not done. What happened?
A. Since house power varies due to
time or location, many Time Cook
recipes give you a time range to
prevent overcooking. Set the oven
for minimum time, test the food
for doneness and cook the food
little longer, if necessary.
Q. I touched the number pads
and selected my power level.
When I touched START,
however, my oven didn’t come
on. Why not?
A. The TIME COOK pad must be
touched before setting the power
level otherwise your oven will not
begin cooking,
Q. I want to cook on a power
level other than 10 (High). What
do I need to do?
A. To change power level, touch
the POWER LEVEL pad, then

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 bar cookies, moist cakes and
candies, are suitable for microwaving because of their
high fat and sugar content.
● Reduce conventional cooking time by one-half to
one-
third. Check food after minimum time to avoid
overcooking.
● Small amounts of butter or oil can be used for
flavoring, but are not needed to prevent sticking.
● Seasonings 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 allows excess steam to escape. Venting
plastic wrap 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 as frozen hamburgers.
Standing Time. In conventional cooking, 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.
Shielding. In a conventional 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.
Arcing. Sparks caused by too much metal in the
microwave oven or metal touching the side of the oven
or foil that is not molded to food.
Prick Foods to Release Pressure. Steam builds up
pressure in foods that are tightly covered by a skin or
membrane. Prick foods, such as potatoes (as you do
conventionally), egg yolks and chicken livers, to
prevent bursting.
Rotating. Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the oven
helps food cook more evenly. To rotate
1/2
turn, turn
the dish until the side that was to the back of the oven is
to the front. To rotate 1/4 turn, turn the dish until the
side that was to the back of the oven is to the side.
Basic Microwave Guidelines
Density of Food. In both conventional and microwave
cooking, dense foods, such as potatoes, take
cook than light, porous foods, such as rolls, bread or
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 evenly because microwave energy is
attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in
moisture
should
be covered or allowed to stand so heat
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
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, small
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
more than one dish at one time. Take the shelf out when
you are not using it.

is closer than 1 inch to oven walls.
Use for shielding.
Do not use. Microwave-safe thermometers and skewers are available.
Generally, glass jars can be used to warm food. However, do not heat
baby food in jars, even without lids, because food will heat unevenly.
Do not warm foods in narrow-necked bottles because pressure can
build up.

Heating or Reheating Guide
1. Directions below are for heating or reheating cooked foods stored
in refrigerator or at room temperature. Use microwave-safe cookware.
2. Cover foods for fastest heating. Exceptions are some sandwiches,
griddle foods and baked items.
3. Bubbling around edges of dish is normal, since the center is the
last to heat. Foods heated to
160°F.

palatable results. Adjust temperatures to suit your personal taste.
Let foods stand a few minutes before serving.
4. Be sure foods are heated through before serving. Steaming or
bubbling around edges of dish does not necessarily mean food is
heated throughout.
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe
for use in microwave ovens.

Care and Cleaning
u
Your new microwave oven is a
valuable appliance. Protect it
from misuse by following
these rules:
● Keep your oven clean and
sweet-smelling. Opening the oven
door a few minutes after cooking
helps air out the interior. An
occasional thorough wiping with
solution of baking soda and water
keeps the interior fresh.
● Don’t use sharp-edged utensils
on your oven. The inside and
outside oven walls can be
scratched. The control panel can
be damaged.
●

This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a
power cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and
grounded. (Fig. 1)
WARNING–improper
use of the grounding plug-can
result in a risk of electric shock.
PREFERRED METHOD
a ,0
./
pD
Fig. 1
H.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
Consult a qualified electrician or
service technician if the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall
receptacle is encountered, it is your
personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with
a properly grounded three-prong
wall receptacle.
Do not under any circumstances
cut or remove the third (ground)
prong from the power cord.
Q~

Use of Adapter Plugs
Usage situations where
appliance’s power cord will
be disconnected infrequency.
Because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we
strongly recommend against the
use of an adapter plug. However,
if you still elect to use an adapter,
where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION
may be made to a properly
grounded two-prong wall
receptacle by the use of a
adapter (Fig. 2), which is available
at most local hardware stores.
TEMPORARY METHOD
(Adapter plugs not
oermitted
Align large
prongs/slots
-a~

in Canada)
‘.>
Ensure proper
ground and firm
I I
e>
The larger slot in the adapter must
be aligned with the larger slot in
the wall receptacle to provide
proper polarity in the connection
of the power cord.
Caution:
Attaching the adapter
ground terminal to the wall
receptacle cover screw does not
ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal, and not
insulated, and the wall receptacle
is grounded through the house
wi~ing.
You should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, always hold
the adapter with one hand. If this is
not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break
with repeated use. Should this
happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has
again been established.
e
,.=
r
UL-listed
I
I@
Usage situations where
appliance’s power cord will
be disconnected frequently.
Do
not use an adapter plug
in
these situations because frequent
disconnection of the power cord
places
undue strain on the adapter
and leads to eventual failure of the
adapter ground terminal. You
should have the two-prong
receptacle replaced with a
wall
three-
prong (grounding) receptacle by a
qualified electrician before using
the appliance.
Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is
provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension
cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in
their use.
If a long cord or extension cord is
used—
1. The marked electrical rating
of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance;
2. The extension cord must be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord;
3. The longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or
where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over
unintentionally.
If you use an extension cord, the
interior light may flicker and the
blower sound may vary when the
microwave oven is on. Cooking
times may be longer, too.
