MICROWAVmG TWS

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

● 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.

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

Use the Time Defrost setting to 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.

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

AUTOmTIC ROASTmG

Auto Roast uses the temperature probe to cook

to the desired serving temperature. Unlike Cook & Hold, which uses a single power level,

Auto Roast uses up to 3 power settings which automatically switch during roasting, thus providing even, tender cooking results without overcooking.

Preparing Roasts for Auto Roasting

Place tender beef roast in cooking bag on trivet in microwave-safe dish. (Refer to

package instructions for proper use of cooking bag.) Insert probe through cooking bag horizontally into the center meaty area not touching

bone or fat. Make sure the handle does not touch the

food or top or sides of the oven.

Just as in regular roasting, only tender roasts should be Auto Roasted until specified internal temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved by time.

Place pork roast in cooking bag

Containers and Covers

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good cooking results.

● Always use microwave-safe containers and cover

them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Wonder if it’s microwave-safe? Put it to the test described in the Microwaving Tips section.

● Never use tight-sealing plastic covers—they can

prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

For frozen foods in metal trays, remove foil covering and baked goods, reinsert tray into box and

close ends of box.

Use microwave-safe casseroles or bowls for entrees and vegetables. Cover with lids that fit. If lids are not available, use plastic wrap or wax paper. Plastic wrap should be vented over food to allow for escaping steam. Seal by pressing

plastic wrap firmly around edges.

Slit plastic pouches 1 inch as shown above. Break food up

thoroughly after oven signals.

● Match the amount of food to the size of the

container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.

● Be sure the outside of the cooking container and

the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

● Stir or rotate some foods after a beeping signal, if

required. See Automatic Cooking Control Guide.

How to Reheat Several Different

When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the

shelf, while foods which need only to be warmed

should be placed on the oven floor. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the top 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. Alternately, if one of the foods you are heating seems undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily, let the

underheated food continue cooking.

Heat or reheat different types of food at High (10). To determine heating times, add times for all foods together. After half of time, stir or rearrange foods

how the

recipes for microwaving. Foods that require browning or crisp, dry surfaces will cook better in regular ovens.

●

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 regular oven cooking times 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 regular baking and microwave cooking, covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. In regular ovens, 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. When baking in regular ovens, 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 will need only occasional stirring when microwaving.

~rning

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. When you cook with regular ovens,

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 regular 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 before regular oven cooking), 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 regular baking 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 in a regular oven.

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 it heats 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.

4. Be sure foods are heated throughout 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.

GROUND~G mSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an Where a 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 wall receptacle 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.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected infrequently.

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use

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 wiring. 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.

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 wall receptacle replaced
