basement, near a swimming pool or near a sink.

●

This microwave oven is not approved or tested

for marine use.

Do not store anything directly on top of

the microwave oven surface when the oven is

oven

unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

—Do not overcook potatoes. They

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

—Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid

damage to the oven and the

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.

● Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap

can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

● Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating

or rearranging.

● Steam builds up pressure in foods which are

tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent bursting.

If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make

sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

How to Use the Temperature Probe

Place the probe so that the point rests in the center of the thickest meaty part of the roast, or into the cut end or the meatiest part of boneless ham or lamb. The point should not touch bone, fat or gristle. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.

Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh, below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.

For dishes such as meatloaf or casserole, insert the probe into the center.

DEFROSTING BY

Time Defrost (Power Level 3)

TME

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

Use Time Defrost to quickly thaw foods such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen dinners. The Auto Defrost setting is preferred for meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting time and power levels for you.

● Power level 3 is automatically set when you press

Time Defrost pad, but you may change this for more flexibility.

How to Change Power Level

1. Press TIME DEFROST.

2. Select defrosting time.

3. Press POWER LEVEL.

4. Select power.

5. Press START.

To become better acquainted with the defrost function, defrost a 10 oz. package of frozen strawberries by following the steps below.

Step 1: Place a package of frozen strawberries in the oven and close door. Be sure package contains no metal.

Step 3: Select one half of the total defrosting time recommended. For example, touch pads 4, 0 and O for 4 minutes.

Step 5: Turn the package over, close the door

and repeat Steps 2 and 3 to set remaining half of defrosting time. Touch START.

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

Step 2: Touch TIME DEFROST.

Step 4: Touch START. When

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

Defrosting Tips

● Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted

in the package. Tightly closed packages should be

slit, pierced or vented, AFTER food has partially defrosted, as directed by package. Plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered.

● 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.

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).

For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken

up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time.

● Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,

stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to sit out for more than 1 hour after defrosting. Room

temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

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

time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or

stir food frequently.

of Foods Together

When heating several different types of food together, Place on the foods which should be served hot must be placed on floor larger the oven floor, while foods which need only to be warmed should be placed on the shelf. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the bottom only. Also, it is important to remember that foods absorb microwave energy at different rates. Rates can be affected by the size of the food, and its starting temperature.

Because of the varying rates, you may need to start reheating a large or dense food a few minutes ahead

of time, then add other smaller or less dense foods.

or more dense foods,

which need the most heating, such as leftover fried chicken, casseroles of canned or leftover vegetables, rice or pasta. Place on the oven shelf those foods which need only be warmed, such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins or breads.
