Microwaving

●

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 sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving?’

If you are unsure, use this dish test: Measure 1 cup water in a glass cup. Place in oven on or beside dish. Microwave water becomes hot, dish is microwave safe. If dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving.

●

Paper towels, wax paper and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering.

●

Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating or rearranging. Check your cookbook.

●

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.

Cooking appliances installed under the oven might, under some heavy usage conditions, cause temperatures high enough to overheat some internal parts of the microwave oven.

To prevent overheating from taking place, the exhaust fan is designed to automatically turn on at low speed if excessive temperatures occur. Should this happen, the fan cannot be manually turned off, but it will automatically turn off when the internal parts have cooled. The fan may stay on up to approximately 30 minutes after the range and microwave oven controls have been turned off.

Questiom

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

touched START, however, my

oven didn’t come on. Why not? A. The TIME COOK I or 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

touch the POWER LEVEL pad, then touch desired number for new power level.

Q. Can I interrupt Time Cook to

Defrosting by

~me

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 leftovers. Auto Defrost is preferred for meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting time and power levels for you.

●

Power level 3 is automatically set for defrosting, but you may change this for more flexibility.

. See your cookbook for defrosting help.

To become better acquainted with Time Defrost, defrost a package of frozen strawberries by following the steps below.

Step 1:

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 time by touching the desired power level pad. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time about in 1/2; power level 10 cuts the total defrosting time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or stir food frequently.

Q. Why don’t the defrosting

times in the cookbook seem right for my food?

A. Cookbook times are averages.

Defrosting time can vary according to the temperature in your freezer. Set your oven for the time indicated in your cookbook. If your food is still not completely thawed at the end of that time, reset your oven and adjust the time accordingly.

For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time.

Cooking by Temperature

Internal temperature is the best test of doneness for many foods.

Temp Cook/Hold takes the guesswork out of cooking because the oven automatically switches to Hold setting after reaching the preset food temperature and maintains that temperature for up to one hour or until you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

The Temperature Probe

Questions and Answers

Q. What will happen if I accidentally reverse my defrost, hold and cook instructions?

The oven will automatically rearrange your program. Defrosting will always come first, then hold, and then the cooking function.

Can I defrost and hold only? A. Yes.

want to defrost a food, hold it, and cook it later. program in Time Defrost and amount of time. Then program a holding time (example in steps 4 and 5 at thawed dish in the refrigerator promptly.

NOTE: Let foods remain at room temperature only as long as safe. Times will vary.

Q. I programmed my oven for a specific defrosting time but it defrosted longer than necessary. What happened?

A. When instructions conflict,

the oven carries out the last instruction. You may have set the oven to Defrost for 4 minutes, Hold/Time for 2 minutes, and then Defrost for 6 minutes. In this case, the oven would Defrost for 6 minutes and Hold/Time for 2 minutes.

Automatic Defrosting

With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven automatically sets the defrosting time and power levels for you. You choose the appropriate code number from 1 to 6 for the food you are defrosting, then enter the food weight in pounds of a pound (See Conversion Guide below) and touch START. The oven

calculates the defrosting time and

changes power levels during

defrosting to give even defrosting

results.

When the oven reaches approximately

half of the total defrosting time, the

After defrosting time is complete, the oven automatically goes into a holding period

as shown on the Automatic Defrosting Guide on this page. This holding period is necessary to finish the defrosting of the interior of the food.

How to Set Auto Defrost

How to Reheat Several Different

When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the oven shelf, while foods which are only warmed should be placed on the 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.

~pes

Heat or reheat different types of food at High (10). To determine heating times, add times for all foods together. (See heating guide in cookbook. ) After half of time, stir or rearrange foods (do not reverse positions). Check foods (top shelf especially) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.

of Foods Together

Place on shelf large or dense foods which need the most

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