observe the following:
1. Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat
and be hazardous to handle.
2. Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an
unbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure
may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or
knife before cooking.
3. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes and similar
foods before cooking with microwave energy.
When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
4. Do not operate oven without load or food in oven
cavity.
5. Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeled for microwave use. Popping time varies
depending on oven wattage. Do not continue to
heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will
scorch or burn. Do not leave unattended.
6. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven.
Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and
may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to oven.
7. Do not use metal utensils in oven.
8. Never use paper, plastic or other combustible
materials that are not intended for cooking.
9. When cooking with paper, plastic or other combustible materials, follow manufacturer’s recommendations for product use.
10. Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or
other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could
melt and cause paper to ignite.
11. Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in
oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and
cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open
container or bag before cooking.
12. To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physician or pacemaker manufacturer about effects of
microwave energy on pacemaker.
CAUTION
Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid.
Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not always
present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQ-
UIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A
SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO
THE LIQUID.To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
1. Do not overheat the liquid.
2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
3. Do not use straight-sided containers with nar-
row necks.
4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
5. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the container.
WARNING
CAUTION

a. DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend appli-
ance if paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing bag in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven should ignite,
KEEP OVEN DOOR CLOSED, turn oven off,
and disconnect the power cord or shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
d. DO NOT use the cavity for storage purposes.
DO NOT leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
5
Installation and Operation
CIRCUITS
For safety purposes this oven must
be plugged into a 15 or 20 Amp circuit. No other electrical appliances or
lighting circuits should be on this line.
If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.
VOLTAGE
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the same as specified on
the oven name plate located inside
oven door. Use of a higher voltage is
dangerous and may result in a fire or
other type of accident causing oven
damage. Low voltage will cause slow
cooking. In case your microwave
oven does not perform normally in
spite of proper voltage, remove and
reinsert the plug.
UNPACKING OVEN
• Inspect oven for damage such as
dents in door or inside oven cavity.
•Report any dents or breakage to
source of purchase immediately.
Do not attempt to use oven if
damaged.
•Remove all materials from oven
interior.
• If oven has been stored in extremely cold area, wait a few hours
before connecting power.
PLACEMENT OF
THE OVEN
Your microwave oven can be placed
easily in your kitchen, family room, or
anywhere else in your home. Place
the oven on a flat surface such as a
kitchen countertop or a specially
designed microwave oven cart. Free
air flow around the oven is important.
Do not place oven above a gas or
electric range or cooktop. Exposure
to heat from a cooking surface will
damage the microwave oven.
DO NOT BLOCK
AIR VENTS
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air vents are covered
during oven operation the oven may
overheat. In this case, a sensitive
thermal safety device automatically
turns the oven off. The oven will be
inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.
GETTING THE BEST
RESULTS FROM YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN
Pay attention as food cooks. The
instructions in this book have
been formulated with great care,
but your success in preparing food
depends, of course, on how much
attention you pay to the food as it
cooks. Always watch your food while
it cooks. Your microwave oven is
equipped with a light that turns on
automatically when the oven is in
operation so that you can see inside
and check the progress of your
recipe. Directions given in recipes to
elevate, stir, and the like should be
thought of as the minimum steps recommended. If the food seems to be
cooking unevenly, simply make the
necessary adjustments you think
appropriate to correct the problem.
Factors affecting cooking times.
Many factors affect cooking times.
The temperature of ingredients used
in a recipe makes a big difference in
cooking times. For example, a cake
made with ice-cold butter, milk, and
eggs will take considerably longer to
bake than one made with ingredients
that are at room temperature. All of
the recipes in this book give a range
of cooking times. In general, you will
find that the food remains undercooked at the lower end of the time
range, and you may sometimes want
to cook your food beyond the maximum time given, according to personal preference. The governing philosophy of this book is that it is best
for a recipe to be conservative in giving cooking times. While undercooked food may always be cooked a
bit more, overcooked food is ruined
for good. Some of the recipes, particularly those for bread, cakes, and
custard, recommend that food be
removed from the oven when they
are slightly undercooked. This is not
a mistake. When allowed to stand,
usually covered, these foods will continue to cook outside of the oven as
the heat trapped within the outer portions of the foods gradually travels
inward. If the foods are left in the
oven until they are cooked all the way
through, the outer portions will
become overcooked or even burned.
As you gain experience in using your
microwave oven, you will become
increasingly skillful in estimating both
cooking and standing times for various foods.
SPECIAL TECHNIQUES
IN MICROWAVE
COOKING
Browning: Meats and poultry that
are cooked fifteen minutes or longer
will brown lightly in their own fat.
Foods that are cooked for a shorter
period of time may be brushed with a
browning sauce to achieve an appetizing color. The most commonly
used browning sauces are
Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce,
and barbecue sauce. Since relatively
small amounts of browning sauces
are added to foods, the original flavor
of recipes is not altered.
Covering: A cover traps heat and
steam and causes food to cook more
quickly. You may either use a lid or
microwave cling-film with a corner
folded back to prevent splitting.
Covering with waxed paper: Waxed
paper effectively prevents spattering
and helps food retain some heat.
Since it makes a looser cover than a
lid or cling-film, it allows the food to
dry out slightly.
Testing if cooked: Because foods
cook so quickly in a microwave oven,
it is necessary to test food frequently.
Some foods are left in the microwave
until completely cooked, but most
foods, including meats and poultry,
are removed from the oven while still
slightly undercooked and allowed to
finish cooking during standing time.
The internal temperature of foods will
rise between 5° F (3° C) and 15° F
(8° C) during standing time.
Standing time: Foods are often
allowed to stand for 3 to 10 minutes
after being removed from the
microwave oven. Usually the foods
are covered during standing time to
retain heat unless they are supposed
to be dry in texture (some cakes and
biscuits, for example). Standing
allows foods to finish cooking and
also helps flavors to blend and
develop.
HOW FOOD
CHARACTERISTICS
AFFECT MICROWAVE
COOKING
Density of foods: Light, porous food
like cakes and breads cook more
quickly than heavy, dense foods such
as roasts and casseroles. You must
take care when microwaving porous
foods that the outer edges do not
become dry and brittle.
Height of foods: The upper portion
of tall foods, particularly roasts, will
cook more quickly than the lower portion. Therefore, it is wise to turn tall
foods during cooking, sometimes
several times.
Moisture content of foods: Since
the heat generated from microwaves
tends to evaporate moisture, relatively dry foods such as roasts and some
vegetables should either be sprinkled
with water prior to cooking or covered
to retain moisture.
Bone and fat content of foods:
Bones conduct heat and fat cooks
more quickly than meat. Therefore,
care must be taken when cooking
bony or fatty cuts of meat that the
meats do not cook unevenly and do
not become overcooked.
NOTE: It is a common misconception
that microwaves cook food from the
inside out. This comes from heating
filled pastries with a high sugar content, like jelly doughnuts. The pastry
is cool but the filling is very hot! If you
cook a chicken or a roast, you’ll see
the outside is cooked first.
Shape of foods: Microwaves penetrate only about 1 inch (2.5cm) into
foods; the interior portion of thick
foods is cooked as the heat generated on the outside travels inward. In
other words, only the outer edge of
any food is actually cooked by
microwave energy; the rest is cooked
by conduction.
It follows then that the worst possible
shape for a food that is to be
microwaved is a thick cube. The corners will burn long before the center
is even warm. Round, thin, and ring
shaped foods cook most successfully
in the microwave.
Quantity of foods: The number of
microwaves in your oven remains
constant regardless of how much
food is being cooked. Therefore, the
more food you place in the oven, the
longer the cooking time. Remember
to decrease cooking times by at least
one-third when halving a recipe.
6
Installation and Operation, cont.
Wrapping in waxed paper or paper
towel: Sandwiches and many other
foods containing prebaked bread
should be wrapped prior to
microwaving to prevent drying out.
Arranging and spacing: Individual
foods such as baked potatoes, small
cakes, and hors d’oeuvres will heat
more evenly if placed in the oven and
equal distance apart, preferably in a
circular pattern. Never stack foods on
top of one another.
Stirring: Stirring is one of the most
important of all microwaving techniques. In conventional cooking,
foods are stirred for the purpose of
blending. Microwaved foods, however, are stirred in order to spread and
redistribute heat. Always stir from the
outside towards the center as the
outside food heats first.
Turning over: Large, tall foods such
as roasts and whole chickens should
be turned so that the top and bottom
will cook evenly. It is also a good idea
to turn cut up chicken and chops.
Placing thicker portions near the
edge: Since microwaves are attract-
ed to the outside portion of foods, it
makes sense to place thicker portions of meat, poultry and fish to the
outer edge of the baking dish. This
way, thicker portions will receive the
most microwave energy and the
foods will cook evenly.
Elevating: Thick or dense foods are
often elevated so that microwaves
can be absorbed by the underside
and center of the foods.
Piercing: Foods enclosed in a shell,
skin, or membrane are likely to burst
in the oven unless they are pierced
prior to cooking. Such foods include
both yolks and whites of eggs, clams
and oysters, and many whole vegetables and fruits.
7
Cooking Utensils
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do not use stoneware, aluminum foil, metal utensils, or metal
trimmed utensils in the oven.
CAUTION
MICROWAVE-SAFE
UTENSILS
Never use metal or metal-trimmed
utensils in your microwave oven:
Microwaves cannot penetrate metal.
They will bounce off any metal object
in the oven and cause arcing, an
alarming phenomenon that resembles lightning. Most heat-resistant
non-metallic cooking utensils are
safe for use in your microwave oven.
However, some may contain materials that render them unsuitable as
microwave cookware. If you have any
doubts about a particular utensil,
there is a simple way to find out if it
can be used in your microwave oven.
Testing utensils for microwave
use: Place the utensil in question
next to a glass bowl filled with water
in the microwave oven. Microwave at
power HIGH for 1 minute. If the water
heats up but the utensil remains cool
to the touch, the utensil is
microwave-safe. However, if the
water does not change temperature
but the utensil becomes warm,
microwaves are being absorbed by
the utensil and it is not safe for use in
the microwave oven. You probably
have many items on hand in your
kitchen that can be used as cooking
equipment in your microwave oven.
Just read through the following
checklist.
1. Dinner plates: Many kinds of
dinnerware are microwave-safe.
If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's literature or perform the
microwave test.
2. Glassware: Glassware that is
heat-resistant is microwavesafe. This includes all brands of
oven-tempered glass cookware.
However, do not use delicate
glassware, such as tumblers or
wine glasses, as these might
shatter as the food warms.
3. Paper: Paper plates and con-
tainers are convenient and
safe to use in your microwave
oven, provided the cooking
time is short and foods to be
cooked are low in fat and
moisture. Paper towels are also
very useful for wrapping foods
and for lining baking trays in
which greasy foods, such as
bacon, are cooked. In general,
avoid colored paper products as
the color may run.
4. Plastic storage containers:
These can be used to hold foods
that are to be quickly reheated.
However, they should not be
used to hold foods that will need
considerable time in the oven as
hot foods will eventually warp or
melt plastic containers.
5. Plastic cooking bags: These
are microwave-safe provided
they are specially made for
cooking. However, be sure to
make a slit in the bag so that
steam can escape. Never use
ordinary plastic bags for cooking
in your microwave oven, as they
will melt and rupture.
6. Plastic microwave cookware:
A variety of shapes and sizes of
microwave cookware is available. For the most part, you can
probably cook with items you
already have on hand rather
than investing in new kitchen
equipment.
7. Pottery, stoneware, and
ceramic: Containers made of
these materials are usually fine
for use in your microwave oven,
but they should be tested to be
sure.
