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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(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.
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.
Q
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
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,
away from sides of oven.
keep metal at least 1 inch
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.

for 15 minutes defrosting time. (Defrosting is automatically set on power level 3 but can be changed by touching the POWER LEVEL pad and the desired power level.)
Q. What accidentally reverse my defrost, hold and cook instructions?
A. The oven will automatically
rearrange your program. Defrosting will then hold, and then the cooking function.
Q. Can I defrost and hold A. Yes. Sometimes you may only
want to defrost a food, hold it, and cook it later. All you need to do is program in defrost and amount of 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 and pork
should not be allowed to sit out for
more than one hour after defrosting.

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
level other than High. What do I need to do?
A. To change the power
touch the POWER LEVEL pad, then touch desired number for new power level.
Q. Can I interrupt Time Cook to

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
the defrost function, defrost frozen 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.

Defrosting
1.2.Food packaged in paper or plastic maybe defrosted without
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.
Don’t use sharp-edged utensils
on your oven. The inside and
outside oven walls can be scratched. The control panel can be damaged.

it is necessary to remove the cooking tray for cleaning of the tray or oven. To prevent breakage, do not place tray into water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher. The tray can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate the oven without the cooking tray in place.
Special note when using Brown
‘N Sear Dish: If grease is present,
high heat generated on bottom of a Brown ‘N Sear dish may cause the grease to burn onto the oven tray. This may be removed with a cleanser such as Bon cleanser.

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.

use of the grounding plug-can result in a risk of electric shock.
PREFERRED METHOD

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.

Do not use an adapter plug

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.
