■

inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

follow instructions.

You

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

instructions.

Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off

■

the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.

Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's

■

recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

■ Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged

cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

Do not deep fry in oven. Microwavable utensils are not

■

suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures.

Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in

■

the “PAN BROWN” mode.

■ Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal

foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary

■

when used by children.

■ The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified

service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.

■ Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave

oven.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not use this

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:

– Do not overheat the liquid.

– Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

– Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

– After heating, allow the container to stand in the

microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil

into the container.

■

BUILT-IN MICROWAVE OVEN USE

A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves that reect off the metal oor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on

or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate

microwave oven when it is empty.

■ The turntable must be in place and correct side up when

microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken. See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.

■ Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in

microwave oven.

■ Clothes, owers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including

brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in microwave oven.

■ Parafn wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it

does not absorb microwaves.

■ Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from

microwave oven.

■ Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended

cook time, potatoes should be slightly rm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will nish cooking while standing.

■ Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell.

Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.

Food Characteristics

When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition, and density of the food affect cooking results.

Amount of Food

The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.

Size and Shape

Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces, and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food.

Starting Temperature

Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.

Cooking Guidelines

Covering

Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time, and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking.

Stirring and Turning

Stirring and turning redistribute heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.

Arranging

If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, arrange the thinner parts and smaller sized items toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.

Piercing

Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to allow steam to vent.

Shielding

Use small, at pieces of aluminum foil to cover the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones, and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips, and sh tail. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” rst.

Standing Time

Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food.

Turntable On/Off

For best performance, the turntable should be on during microwave cooking.

If using oversized cookware that does not turn freely on the turntable, turn the turntable off. See the “Turntable” section for additional information.

When microwave cooking with the turntable off, food should be turned halfway through the cooking process.

Composition and Density

Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake.

Cookware and Dinnerware

Cookware and dinnerware must t on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, and then test before using.

Acceptable for use.

Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.

Use non-recycled and those approved by the manufacturer for microwave oven use.

Use those approved by the manufacturer for microwave oven use.

Do not use in microwave oven.

To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:

1. Place cookware or dinnerware in microwave oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it.

2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute.

Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the water stays cool.

Aluminum Foil and Metal

Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven.

Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue ash of light) can occur and cause damage to the microwave oven.

OK for Use

Grids and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven (onsome models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow

aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling, or oor.

■ Always use the turntable.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow contact

with another metal object during microwave cooking.

Do Not Use

Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-approved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such as sandwich wrappers, staples, and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the microwave oven.

Microwave Cooking Power

Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name or number. For example, 70%=7=Medium-High.

Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested cooking power of specic foods.

Auto Convection Conversion

A. Broil element B. Convection fan C. Convection element D. Grilling grid or

convection grid

Convection cooking uses the convection element, the broil element and the fan. Hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity by the fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly.

■ The convect function may be used to cook small amounts of

food on a single grid.

■ Always use the grilling grid or convection grid placed on

turntable.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not cover

turntable, grilling grid or convection grid, or baking tray with aluminum foil.

■ Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap, or paper

products. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking. Round pizza pans are excellent for convection cooking.

■ When the broil element is in use, the cooling fan turns on and

stays on for up to 10 minutes after the cycle is over.

■ Use convection cooking for items such as soufés, breads,

cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and sh.

Auto Convection Conversion is a function that converts a standard thermal bake cook time and temperature into an ideal cook time and temperature for convection cooking.

Convection temperatures and times differ from those of standard cooking. The oven will automatically reduce standard recipe temperatures and times for convection cooking.

The conversion may not be exact because foods are grouped in general categories.

Use the following chart as a guide.
