ARCING

FOODS

If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

■ Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

■ Foil not molded to food (upturned edges

act like antennas).

Do not pop popcorn in your oven unless in

a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

 Some products such as whole eggs and

VHDOHGFRQWDLQHUV³IRUH[DPSOHFORVHG MDUV³DUHDEOHWRH[SORGHDQGVKRXOGQRWEH

heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury.

 Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure will

build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

 Operating the microwave with no food

inside for more than a minute or two may cause damage to the oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the oven.

 Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as

potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

 Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even

with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding when warming formula. The container may feel cooler than the formula really is. Always test the formula before feeding the baby.

'RQ·WGHIURVWIUR]HQEHYHUDJHVLQQDUURZ

necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is open, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

■ Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.

■ Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the oven.

 SUPERHEATED WATER

Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea, are able to

be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

FORMACIÓN DE ARCO ELÉCTRICO

COMIDAS

Si ve que se forman arcos eléctricos, presione el botón CLEAR/OFF (borrar/apagado) y resuelva el problema.

Arco eléctrico es lo que, en la terminología de los microondas, describe las chispas en el horno.

 Hay un metal o papel de aluminio tocando el

lateral del horno.

 El papel de aluminio no está envolviendo bien la

comida (los extremos doblados actúan como antenas).



No haga rosetas o palomitas de maíz en el microondas a no ser que esté usando un accesorio especial para prepararlas o que esté empleando rosetas o palomitas de maíz que indiquen ser válidas para el uso de hornos microondas.

 Algunos productos tales como huevos enteros

y envases sellados – por ejemplo: tarros de vidrio cerrados – pueden explotar y por esto no se deben calentar en el horno microondas. Dicho uso del horno microondas podrá producir lesiones.



No hierva huevos dentro de un horno microondas. Se generará presión dentro de la yema del huevo que causará que explote pudiendo, posiblemente, dañar a alguien.



Si se pone en marcha el microondas sin tener comida en su interior por más de un minuto o dos podrían causarse daños al horno y podría empezar un fuego. Esto hace aumentar la temperatura alrededor del magnetrón y puede reducir el período de vida útil del horno.



Las comidas cocinadas en líquidos (como la pasta) pueden tener cierta tendencia a hervir más rápidamente que los alimentos que contengan menos humedad. Si esto ocurre, revise la sección de Cuidado y limpieza del horno microondas donde encontrará instrucciones en cuanto a la limpieza del interior del microondas.



No caliente la comida del bebé en jarras de cristal, incluso si están destapadas. Asegúrese de que los alimentos de los niños estén bien cocinados. Remueva la comida para distribuir el calor de forma pareja. Tenga cuidado de que el niño no se queme al calentar la leche de fórmula. El contenedor puede parecer más frío de lo que realmente está la fórmula. Pruebe siempre la fórmula antes de dársela al bebé.



No descongele bebidas congeladas en botellas de cuello estrecho (especialmente bebidas carbonatadas). Incluso con el contenedor abierto,

 Hay algún metal, como cintas de cierre con

metal, pinchos de pollo, o platos con decoración de oro dentro del microondas.

 Se está usando papel toalla reciclado que

podría generarse un aumento de presión. Esto puede causar que el contenedor explote, lo cual podría producir daños personales.



AGUA SOBRECALENTADA

Líquidos, tales como agua, café, o té, se podrían

sobrecalentar más allá del punto de ebullición sin parecer que estén hirviendo. No siempre habrá burbujas o evidencia de que el líquido está hirviendo cuando se extrae el envase con el líquido del microondas. ESTO PODRÍA RESULTAR EN LÍQUIDOS MUY CALIENTES DE REPENTE COMENZANDO A HERVIR Y A REBOSARSE CUANDO EL ENVASE ES MOVIDO O SI UNA CUCHARA U OTRO UTENSILIO SE LE INTRODUCE AL LÍQUIDO.

Para reducir el riesgo de lesiones personales:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

WARNING!

Countertop Microwave Oven

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

PHDVXULQJFXSILOOHGZLWKFXSRIZDWHU³VHWWKHPHDVXULQJ

cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave 30–45 seconds 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.

 If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is

safe for use in microwave ovens.

 Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels,

napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

 Some foam trays (like those that meat is packaged on)

have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

 Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers.

Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens.



Check the package for proper use.

 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.

 Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred

from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.

 “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags

should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

 Use foil only as directed in this guide. TV dinners may be

microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4"high; remove the top foil cover and return the tray to the box. When using foil in the microwave oven, keep the foil at least 1" away from the sides of the oven.

 3ODVWLFFRRNZDUH³3ODVWLFFRRNZDUHGHVLJQHGIRUPLFURZDYH

cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

1. Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in

VWULFWFRPSOLDQFHZLWKWKHFRRNZDUHPDQXIDFWXUHU·V

recommendations.

2. Do not microwave empty containers.

3. Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.

Grounding Instructions

Adapter Plugs

WARNING!

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,

Ensure proper ground exists before use.

This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

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

(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

Align large prongs/slots

TEMPORARY METHOD

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter which is available at most local hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

Ensure proper ground and firm connection before use.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. (See EXTENSION CORDS section.)

For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.

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 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

PRECAUCIÓN: Conectar la terminal del adaptador con conexión a tierra al tornillo de la cubierta del tomacorriente no conecta el electrodoméstico a tierra, a menos que el tornillo de la cubierta sea de metal, y no esté aislado, y que el tomacorriente esté conectado a tierra a través del cableado del hogar.

Contrate a un electricista calificado para que controle el circuito, a fin de asegurar que el tomacorriente esté correctamente conectado a tierra.

Cuando desconecte el cable de corriente del adaptador, siempre sostenga el adaptador con una mano. En caso de no hacer esto, es muy probable que la terminal del adaptador con conexión a tierra se rompa con el uso repetido. Si esto sucede, NO USE el electrodoméstico hasta que se haya establecido una conexión a tierra adecuada nuevamente.

Situaciones de uso en que el cable de corriente del electrodoméstico será desconectado con frecuencia.

No use un adaptador de enchufe en estas

situaciones, ya que una desconexión frecuente del cable de corriente representa un esfuerzo excesivo sobre el adaptador y conduce finalmente a una falla de la terminal del adaptador con conexión a tierra. Deberá solicitar a un electricista calificado el reemplazo del tomacorriente de 2 cables por uno de 3 cables (con conexión a tierra), antes de usar el electrodoméstico.

1. Press COOK TIME.

2. Enter cooking or defrosting time

3. Press POWER LEVEL.

4. Select desired power level 1-10.

3. Press START/PAUSE.

Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the time. Power level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time. Most cooking will be done on HI which gives you 100% power.

Power Level 10 will cook faster but food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. A lower setting will cook more evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the food.

Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.

Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off) give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat to the inside of the food. An example of this is shown with power level 3³ the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food would cook before the inside was defrosted.

Here are some examples of uses for various power levels:

Power Level 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.

Power Level 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.

Power Level 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and less tender cuts of meat.

Power Level 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces.

Power Level 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.

Defrosting Tips

• Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be partially uncovered.

• Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

• For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as roasts, use DEFROST WEIGHT. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking.

• Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

• When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.counts down.

Microwave Terms

Countertop Microwave Oven

Arcing

Covering

Shielding

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

• Foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time.

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.

• Metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, goldrimmed dishes.

• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.

Standing Time

Venting

When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set.

After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.

Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.
