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 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, wax 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 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.

Defrosting

~ps

●

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 your cookbook 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 total defrosting time to approximately

1/3. During either, rotate or stir food frequently.

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.

Q. Should all foods be completely thawed before cooking?

A. Some foods should not be

completely thawed before cooking. For example, fish cooks so

quic~y

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. If not, reset timer.

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 level,

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

Q. Can I interrupt Time Cook to check the food?

Cooking by Temperature

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

Use Temp Cook/Hold to cook a variety of foods to the desired finished food temperature. The Time Cook I &

IIsetting is

recommended for batters, doughs, frozen foods and foods which are difficult to cook precisely with the probe.

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.

Note: Oven automatically switches to “Hold” when preset food temperature is reached.

The Temperature Probe

Q. Are there any foods I can’t Temp Cook?

A. Yes.

Delicate butter icings, ice 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.

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.

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

A. No,

if it touches the oven wall,

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.

Page 12

Automatic Roasting

Auto Roast uses the temperature probe to cook to the desired serving temperature. Unlike

Temp

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.

Just as in conventional roasting, only tender roasts should be Auto Roasted until specified internal temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved by time, according to the cookbook which comes with your oven.

Eeparing Roas@

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.

Place pork roast in cooking bag

and place in microwave-safe dish.

Place meat in oven with probe to the right. Insert cable end of probe firmly into receptacle on oven wall.

How to Reheat Several

Different

~pes

of Foods

T~ether

When heating several different types of food together, foods which

should be served hot must be placed on the oven floor, while foods which are

ordy

warmed should

beplacd

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 larger or more dense foods 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. (See Heating Guide in cookbook. ) After

halfoftime,

stir or rearrange foods (do not reverse positions). Check foods (especially those on oven floor) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.

Place on 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 oven shelf those foods which need only be warmed, such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins or breads.

Questions and Answers

Q. What will happen if I

accidentally reverse my defrost, hold and cook instructions?

A. 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.

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 and the amount of cooking time. Be sure to put the 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 for 2 minutes, and then defrost for 6 minutes. In this case, the oven

would defrost for 6 minutes and

hold for 2 minutes.

Care and Cleaning

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 of baking soda and water keeps the interior fresh.

● Don’t use sharp-edged utensils

with your oven.

The inside and outside oven walls can be scratched and the control panel can be damaged.

BE CERTAIN POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THIS OVEN.

How to Clean the

Imide

Walls and floor.

Some

spatters can be removed with a paper towel, while 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

USE ABRASIVES, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. THEY WILL MAR THE SURFACE.

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 floor. This may be removed with a cleanser such as Bon
