● Make sure all cookware used in your microwave

● 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 of 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, 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.

● Steam builds up pressure in foods which are

tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg yolks bursting.

If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

Time Cook allows you to microwave for a selected amount of time.

Power level 10 (High) is recommended for most cooking, but you may change this for more flexibility.

To become better acquainted with time cooking, make a cup of coffee by following the steps below.

Step 1: Fill a cup 2/3 full of water, add

1 teaspoon of instant coffee and stir to dissolve. Use a cup that has no metal decoration and is microwave-safe (refer to Microwaving Tips section). Place cup in

Defrosting Tips

● 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.

Qumtions

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).

and Answers

● For even

some foods need to be broken up

~f the way through the defrosting time.

part

● Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs,

fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be

allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

Can I defrost small items in a hurry?

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.

A. Use Time Cook to reheat for additional time until

Q. What if I don’t fully cover the dish in Auto

A. Oven senses steam too quickly, which shortens the

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

Containers and Covers

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good cooking results.

● Always use microwave-safe containers and cover

them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Wonder if it’s microwave-safe? Put it to the test described in the Microwaving Tips section.

● Never use tight-sealing plastic covers—they can

prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

For frozen foods in metal trays, remove foil covering and baked goods, reinsert tray into box and close ends of box.

CONTAINERS &

● Match the amount of food to the size of the

container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.

● Be sure the outside of the cooking container 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 a beeping signal,

if required. See the Automatic Cooking Control Guide.

CO~RS

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

For frozen entrees in paperboard trays, remove tray from box but do not remove film over tray. Thick entrees may take longer to cook—see the Automatic Cooking Control Guide.

Slit plastic pouches 1 inch as

How to Insert the Shelf Into the Oven

The wire shelf is specifically designed for added capacity heating and reheating in your microwave oven. Now more than 1 food may be heated or

reheated and ready to serve at the same time. Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods

which need to be prepared from scratch should be cooked without the oven shelf.

Use the shelf only when cooking food on 2 levels. To prevent arcing, remove the shelf when you are not using it.

To insert the shelf, slide it all the

way in until it drops into place on

the shelf supports.

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 one of the foods you are heating seems undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily, let the

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.

underheated food continue cooking.

Make sure the raised bumps on the sides of the shelf are on the top or the shelf will not rest solidly on the shelf supports.

~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 prepackaged popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

GROUND~G mSTRUCTIONS

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

circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. 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. (Fig. 1)

use of the grounding plug can

result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely

understood, whether the appliance is properly

grounded.

CARE AND

Follow these simple care rules:

Keep inside of oven clean. Food spatters or spilled liquids will absorb microwave energy and reduce efficiency of oven. Wipe up when they are still warm.

When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a

All these things are normal with your microwave oven:

●

Dimming oven light and change in blower sound may

occur while operating at power levels other than high.

●

Dull, thumping sound while oven is operating.

●

Some TV-Radio interference might be noticed

while using your microwave oven. It’s similar to the interference caused by other small appliances and does not indicate a problem with your oven.

●

Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.

●

Light reflection around door or outer case.

● During cooking you will hear “cracking” and

“popping” noises which are nothing more than normal expansion of the oven.

● At the end of microwave cycles you will hear a

slight thump. This is normal.
