MICROWAVING TIPS
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
rnetalllc
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
1 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.
trim or glaze with a metallic sheen
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. 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.
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

Q
Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.
Foods that spoil easily, such as

A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the
oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High).
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 stir food frequently.

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 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.
c
Reduce regular oven cooking times by 1/2 to 1/3.
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.
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.
vent the plastic wrap by turning back 1 comer 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.
In both regular baking and microwave

~rning
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.
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.
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.

Prick Foods to Release Pressure. Steam builds up

microwave cooking, dense foods, such as potatoes, Pieces that are similar in size and shape cook more take longer to cook than light, porous foods, such evenly. With large pieces of food, reduce the power
as rolls, bread or pieces of cake.
Round Shapes. Since microwaves penetrate foods to
about 1 inch from top, bottom and sides, round shapes
and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive more microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside energy and may overcook. This may also happen when cooking in a regular oven.
Delicacy. Foods with a delicate texture, such as or refrigerator take longer to cook than foods at room custards, are best cooked at lower power settings to temperature. Timings in our recipes are based on the 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.

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 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. Alternately, if 1 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 (do not reverse positions). Check foods (especially those on the oven floor) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.
~pes
of
Foods Together
Place on the floor larger 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.
Pop popcorn on the microwave oven floor only.
Popcorn placed on the oven shelf will not pop
properly. Use a special microwave popcorn
accessory or prepackaged popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.
NOTE: Appearance of shelf may vay.

CA~ Am CLEAN~G
Keep your oven clean and sweet­smelling. Opening the oven door
a few minutes after cooking helps air out the inside. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.
How to Clean the Inside
Walls and floor. Some spatters can be removed
with a paper towel, others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on oven walls. NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.
Door (inside). Window: Wipe up spatters daily and wash when soiled with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Metal and plastic parts on door: Wipe frequently with a damp cloth to remove all soil. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. THEY WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE.

The exhaust hood feature on your microwave oven is equipped with 2
metal filters which collect grease. When the fan is operated, air is drawn
up through the filters. Depending on your model, it is either discharged through the provided venting to the outside or drawn through a charcoal filter and recirculated.
CHARCOAL FILTER
(on some models)
Reusable Grease Filters
The grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never
operate the microwave without the filters in place. In situations where flaming might occur on surfaces below hood, filters will stop the entry of flames into the unit.
To Remove Grease Filter
To remove grease filter, grasp the “finger hold” on the filter and slide to the rear. Then pull filter downward and to the front. The filter will drop out.
(on
all
models)
To Clean and Replace Grease Filter
To clean grease filter, soak it and then agitate filter in solution of hot water and detergent. Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt.
Rinse, shake and remove moisture before replacing. To replace grease filter, slide the filter in the frame
slot on the back of the opening. Pull filter upward and to the front to lock into place.
REUSABLE GREASE FILTERS

Charcoal Filter
Some models are not vented to the outdoors; they recirculate the air instead. These models are equipped with a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors caused by cooking on your range.
