Microwaving Tips
IMPORTANT SAFETY
● Make sure all cookware used in
your microwave oven is suitable
for microwaving. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard cups,
pottery or china dinnerware which
does not have metallic trim or
glaze with a metallic sheen can be
used. Some cookware is labeled
“suitable for microwaving.”
If you are not sure if a dish is
microwave-safe, use this test:
Place in the oven both the dish you
are testing and a glass measuring
cup
filled
with one cup water—set
the measuring cup either in or next
to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at
high. If the dish heats, it should not
be used for microwaving. If the
dish remains cool and only the
water in the cup heats, then the
dish is microwave-safe.
● Paper towels, waxed paper and
plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order
and prevent spattering. Be sure to
vent plastic wrap so steam can
escape.
● Some microwaved foods
require stirring, rotating or
rearranging. Check the Cooking
Guide.
● 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.

(continued)
—Do not
pop popcorn in your
microwave oven unless in a
special microwave popcorn
accessory or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
—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.

Some
products
eggs and sealed
such as whole
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 in
glass jars, even without their lids;
especially meat and egg mixtures.
●
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
using metal in the microwave
oven,

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 23 for
instructions on how to clean 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 be used
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
md
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.
●
When cooking pork, follow
the directions exactly and always
cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least
170°F.
This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be
killed and meat will be safe to eat.
●
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.
Q
Not all 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.
c ~~Boilable”
and tightly
cooking pouches
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
seal.
When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and
direct steam away from hands
and face.
s
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. I set my oven for the time
called for in the recipe, but at the
end of the time allowed, my food
wasn’t done. What happened?
A. Since house power varies due to
time or location, many time
cooking recipes give you a time
range to prevent overcooking. Set
the oven for minimum time, test
the food for doneness, and cook
your food a 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 I & II pad
must be touched before setting the
number pads or else your oven will
not begin cooking.
Q. I want to cook on a power

Defrosting
Time Defrost is designed for
speedy thawing of frozen food
and is one of the great advantages
of a microwave oven.
● Power level 3 is automatically set
for defrosting, but you may change
this for more flexibility.
● See the Defrosting Guide for
defrosting help.
To become better acquainted with

pork chops by following the steps
below.
Step 1: Place 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 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
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 the Defrosting Guide.
If your food is still not completely
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 while
it is still slightly frozen.
Q. Can I open the door during
defrosting to check on the
progress of my food?
A. Yes. You may open the door at
any time during microwaving. To
resume defrosting, close the door
and press START. The oven begins
operating if time is left on timer.
not, reset timer.

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
● Rich foods, such as bar cookies, moist cakes and
well.
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.
firning
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
which
would cook before
larger
legs
parts.
on poultry,
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 longer to
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 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, 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 a time. Take the shelf out when
you are not using it.

Microwave Uses
Avoid using.
You can use foil trays that are no higher than 3/4-in. (Foil or
reflect microwaves and cause uneven heating.) Arcing can occur if foil
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.

unwrapping. If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place food
in cooking dish for defrosting. Most food defrosts well using
Defrost (3). For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as
beef, lamb and veal roasts, use Warm (I).
After first half of defrosting time, unwrap package and check
food. Turn food over, if necessary; break apart or separate food if
possible. Shield any warm areas with small pieces of foil.

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 a
solution
keeps the interior fresh.

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.

WARNING–improper
use of the grounding plug-can
result in a risk of electric shock.
PREFERRED METHOD
pN
Fig. 1
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.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use

Use of Extension Cords
Because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we
strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord. However,
if it is necessary to use an extension
cord, use only a 3-wire extension
cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that
will accept the plug on the
appliance. The marked rating of
the extension cord shall be equal to
or greater than the electrical rating
of the appliance (15 amperes).
If you do use an extension cord
with your microwave oven, the
interior light may flicker and the
blower sound may vary when oven
is in use. Cook times may be
longer as well.
A short power-supply cord is
provided to reduce risks of
becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. Do not drape
the cord over a countertop or table
where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over
accidentally.
