Grounding Instructions

Getting The Best Cooking Results

To get the best results from your microwave oven, read and follow the guidelines below.

●

Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods at room

temperature.

The time for recipes in this book is

based on the normal storage temperature of the food.

●

Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more evenly. For even

cooking, reduce the power level when cooking large pieces of food.

●

Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy is attracted to water molecules.

●

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly and speed

cooking. Constant stirring is not necessary.

●

Turn over foods like pork chops, roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the cooking time to expose all sides

equally to microwave energy.

●

Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the dish.

●

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the

outside of the dish.

●

Shield, with small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg ends of

poultry.

●

Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let it stand to

finish cooking in the center and avoid overcooking the outer edges. The length of standing time depends on the density and surface area of the food.

●

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.

IMPORTANT:

• DO NOT store or use the wire rack in this oven unless more than one item is being cooked, or a

recipe calls for it.

• Damage to the oven could occur.

When cooking with the convection feature, use the wire rack to elevate food so that air can circulate completely around the dish.

Operating Instructions

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SENSOR COOK allows you to cook most of your favorite

foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The display will indicate the sensing period by scrolling the name of the food. The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item. When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to cook. The display will show the remaining cooking time. For best results when cooking by Sensor, follow these recommendations:

1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature.

2. Glass turntable and outside of container should be dry to assure best cooking results.

3. Most foods should be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.

Do not open the door or touch the STOP/CLEAR pad

4. during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven will beep twice and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food.

5. If food is not completely cooked to your personal preference, continue cooking using cooking time and power level. DO NOT reset the original Sensor program. The Sensor system must be cooled 5 minutes before it can be used again.

IMPORTANT:

When using sensor cook, the oven must cool for 5 minutes between uses or food will not cook properly.

SENSOR GUIDES

See guides on page 14. Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good

Sensor cooking results.

ADDING OR SUBTRACTING COOK TIME

By using the MORE(9) or LESS(1) pad all of the sensor cook and time cook settings can be adjusted to cook food for a longer or shorter time.

CAUTION

• DO NOT leave microwave unaffended while popping

corn.

• DO NOT use wire rack when popping corn.

POPCORN

POPCORN lets you pop commercially packaged

microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time. For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn.

Example: To pop popcorn

1. Touch POPCORN pad.

2. When the cook time is over, you

will hear four beeps and END will display.

●

Recommended amounts: 3.0-3.5 ozs.

BAKED POTATO

BAKED POTATO lets you bake one to six potatoes

without selecting cooking times and power levels.

NOTES:

●

Select 6 to 8 oz. potatoes.

●

Before baking, pierce potato with fork several times.

●

Use the More(9) pad if cooking large potatoes.

●

After baking, let stand for 5 minutes.

Example: To cook 2 potatoes.

1. Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.

2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

3. Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.

4. 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.

Start with the food placed fat side down. After each stage, turn the food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered for 15 to 30 minutes.

After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed portions of food, shield them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes

After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil, for 5-10 minutes.

Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start defrosting with the breast side down. After the first stage, turn the chicken over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After the second stage, again shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator.

After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.

Procedure

DEFROST TIPS

●

When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be entered is

the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

●

Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO DEFROST

gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a true freezer). If food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5°F or below, always program a lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.

●

If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20

minutes, enter a lower food weight.

●

The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.

Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.

●

Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated

pieces defrost more easily.

●

Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to

become warm.

●

You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield foods

like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.

●

Let foods stand, covered, for 15 to 30 minutes.

Let roasts and whole poultry stand 30 to 60 minutes.

Guide for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave

●

Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.

●

Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

●

Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.

Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave

●

Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. If dense vegetables such as

potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about ¼ cup water.

●

Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.

●

Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable

before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time has passed.

●

Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing toward the edge of the dish and the

tips toward the center.

●

When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.

●

Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots

before cooking to prevent them from bursting.

●

For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time.

●

Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.

Care and Cleaning

CARE AND CLEANING

For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean inside and out-side. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and the oven front frame free of food or grease build-up. Never use rough powder or pads. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out, with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if needed.

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO CLEAN AND CARE FOR YOUR OVEN.

●

Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.

●

Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth and mild soap.

●

Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.

To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High power for five minutes or until boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or two minutes.

●

Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

●

Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, don’t let water seep into the openings.

●

Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.

●

If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.

●

Never operate the oven without food in it; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.

Cooking Utensils

MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE

Recommended Use

• Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking.

• Microwave Browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your Browning dish.

• Microwavable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.

• Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.

• Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering; they absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can catch fire.

• Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and can catch fire.

• Thermometers — Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe.” and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven.

Not Recommended

• Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave, and can shatter.

• Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.

• Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.

• Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.

• Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.

Testing Utensils

If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can perform this test:

1 . Fill a glass measuring cup with water and put it

inside your oven, next to the dish you want to test.

Limited Use

• Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Keep the foil no more than 1-2 inches long and 1 inch wide. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful.

• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe.” If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.

• Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe.” Other plastics can melt.

• Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, as they can be flammable.

2 . Touch the Add 30sec. button once to heat them for

30 seconds at High power.

The water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not acceptable for use in the microwave.

Troubleshooting

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Before you call a repair person for your oven, check this list of possible problems and solutions.

Neither the oven’s display nor the oven operate.

●

Properly insert the plug into a grounded outlet.

●

If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the

wall switch is turned on.

●

Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then

plug it in again.

●

Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.

●

Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the other

appliance doesn’t work, have a qualified electrician repair the outlet.

●

Plug the oven into a different outlet.

The oven’s display works, but the power won’t come on.

●

Make sure the door is closed securely.

●

Check to see if packing material or other material is stuck

to the door seal.

●

Check for door damage.

●

Touch STOP/CLEAR pad twice and re-enter all cooking

instructions.

Reset the clock and any cooking instructions.

●

R eset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.

The food is cooking too slowly.

●

Make sure the oven is on its own 20 amp circuit line.

Operating another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If necessary, move the oven to its own circuit.

You see sparks or arcing.

●

Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties.

If using foil, use only narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil and interior oven walls.

The turntable makes noises or sticks.

●

Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor.

●

Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned

correctly.

Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference.

●

This is similar to the interference caused by other small

appliances, such as hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other appliances, like your TV or radio.

The power goes off before the set time has elapsed.

●

If there has not been a power outage, remove the plug

from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. If there was a power outage, the time indicator will display:

PLEASE TOUCH CLOCK AND SET TIME OF DAY

Note: If the oven is set to cook for more than 25 minutes,

it will automatically adjust itself to 70 percent power after 25 minutes to avoid overcooking.
