Microwaving Tips

●

Make sure all cookware used in
your microwave oven is suitable
for microwaving.

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.

Q. Are there any foods I can’t

A. Yes.

cream, frozen whipped toppings,
etc. soften rapidly at warm

temperatures. Batters, doughs and

frozen foods are also difficult to
cook precisely with the probe. It’s

best to Time Cook these foods.

Q. Why did “PRObE” flash on
the display after I touched the

START pad?

A. “PRObE” will flash if you

don’t seat the cable end of the probe

securely into the receptacle in the
oven wall or if you touch the TEMP
COOK/HOLD pad and forget to

use the probe.

Q. Can I leave my probe in the
oven if it’s not inserted in food?

A. No,

you may damage the oven.

Q. Can I Temp Cook different

portions of food at different

temperatures?
A. Yes. The temperature probe

gives you the freedom to cook
different portions of food at
different temperatures to suit
individual eating styles. Simply
place probe in food and change
temperature setting as needed.

Auto Reheat

Auto Reheat lets you touch just 3
pads to bring previously prepared

foods to serving temperature. With
many leftovers, there is no need to
look up reheating times in the
cookbook or rely on guesswork.

By actually sensing the steam
that escapes as food heats, this
feature automatically adjusts the
oven’s heating time to various
types and amounts of pre-cooked
food.

Because all cooking containers
must be covered during automatic
reheating, this feature is best with
foods you want to steam or retain

moisture.

Foods Recommended

require constant attention and foods
calling for a dry look or crisp

surface after reheating should not

Questions & Answers

Q. I tried to warm some chow

Appropriate containers and coverings
help assure good reheating results.

● Always use microwave-safe

and cover them with
lids, wax paper or plastic wrap.
Wonder if the container is
safe? Put it to the test described on
page 3.

●

Never use tight-sealing plastic

lids—they can prevent

steam from
escaping and cause poor reheating
results.

. Match the amount of food to

the size of the
containers at least half full for best

results.

● Be sure the

cooking

of the

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

the beeping signal (if required).

Q. If my food is not completely
reheated after using the suggested
code, what should I do?

A. Use Time Cook I and power

level 10 for 30-second increments
until the desired temperature is
reached. An acceptable temperature
for reheating most foods is 160°

to
Q. What if I don’t fully cover the

dish in Auto Reheat?
A. Oven senses steam too

which shortens the reheating time
and leaves food too cool. Cover
tightly and reset Auto Reheat.

Q. Do the shapes and sizes of
food make a difference when
using Auto Reheat?

A. Yes, in some cases, larger
pieces will require additional
Time Cooking. Be sure to check
suggested arrangement of pieces in

the dish, since proper arrangement

is often a successful tip in regular
microwaving.

Why didn’t this work?
A. Food must have some moisture

in order to create steam which
helps the auto sensor function.
Extremely dry

foods, such as chow

other such foods, do not have
enough moisture.

Q.

May I use Auto Reheat when I
am reheating many foods in more
than one dish or casserole?

A. No. Because foods may vary in
density and amount and in attention
needed during reheating, it is best
to use Time Cook when reheating
many foods.

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

Q. Are there any other foods

which are reheated best using
Time Cook, rather than Auto
Reheat?

A. Bakery

foods, candies, melted
chocolate or foods when a dry or
crisp surface is desirable, are
reheated best by using Time Cook.

Q.

Would my plastic containers
with very tight fitting lids be
appropriate for Automatic
Reheating?

A. No, most types of plastic
storage dishes, butter tubs, etc.
with tight fitting lids are not
recommended for microwaving.
Tight fitting plastic lids may
prevent adequate steam from
escaping and food may not heat
properly during Auto Reheat.

frozen food and is one of the great
advantages of a microwave oven.

Use the Time Defrost setting to

Q. Can I defrost

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.

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.

How to Adjust
Auto Cook Codes to
Suit Your

By simply adding a 1 after any Auto
Cook code number, you can set the
oven to cook for 20% less time than

the code would regularly provide.

For example, if code 4 cooks your
chicken more done than you like it,
set code 41 next time and you’ll get

20% shorter cooking time.
If you want a longer cooking time

than a code provides, add a 9 after
the code.

For the chicken in the example

or frozen

require a standing period after

cooking with Auto Cook?
A. Most vegetables are cooked to

a crisp state during Auto Cook,

just as in regular microwaving.

Therefore, it is recommended that
you let the vegetables stand for up
to 5 minutes depending on size and
density of pieces. This standing
time also enhances the overall

flavor and appearance of most
vegetables.

Q.

What if I don’t fully cover the

A. Oven senses steam too quic~y,

Q. My scalloped potatoes were

not completely cooked when I
removed the dish after Auto
Cook. What is wrong?

A. If you prepared the sauce in the

oven prior to combining the sauce
with potatoes, there may have been
too much remaining moisture in
the oven. Make sure you dry the
oven completely before using Auto
Cook since this function operates
properly by sensing steam in the
oven. Also, starting Auto Cook

Q. Are there any other foods

A. Bakery foods, candies, melted

A. No, most types of plastic
