This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows the basics that you need to know in order to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before using your oven.
HOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. it causes food to make its own heat, and it is this heat that cooks
the food. Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light waves. You
cannot see them, but you can see the results of what they do. A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves. The
microwaves move into the oven where they contact food as it
turns on the turntable. The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves
pass through. The microwaves then bounce off a metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and are absorbed by the food.
Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics without heating them, so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does
not absorb the energy.

RADIO INTERFERENCE
Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:
*Cleanlng the door and sealing surfaces of the oven. *Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television. *Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven. *Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver are on different
branch circuits.
FOR THE BEST COOKING RESULTS
*Always cook food for the shortest cooking time recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking. If
needed, touch Add 30 Sec while the oven is operating, or after the cooking cycle is over (see the "Add
30 Sec" section).
*Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all
recipes. This will help ensure that the food is evenly cooked.
*If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or plastic
wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.

COOKWARE GUIDE
Most heat resistant, nanmetalllc caakware is safe far use in your microwave oven. However, to test caakware before using, fallow these steps:
1. Place empty cookware in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup (250ml) of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for
microwave cooking.
NOTE:
Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy, becoming too hot to handle and slowing cooking time. Cooking in metal containers, not designed for microwave use, could damage the oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).
OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
*Never lean or allow a child to swing on the door when it is open. *Use hat pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the heat from the food can make the
container hot.
*Do nat use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven. *Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven. *Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty. This may shorten the life-span of the oven. To practice
programming, put a container of water in the oven before starting, it is normal for the oven door to look wavy after the oven has been running for a while.
*Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paramn wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it
allows microwaves to pass through it.
*Do not operate the microwave oven unless the glass turntable is securety in place and can rotate freely.
The turntable can rotate in either direction. Make sure the turntable is correct=side up in the oven.
Handle your turntable with care when removing from the oven to avoid breaking it.
*When using a browning dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least 3/16 inch above the turntable.
Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish.
*Never cook or reheat a whale egg inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to
burst, and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating, in rare cases, poached eggs
have been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before
cutting into them.
*Far best results, stir any llquld several times during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain
containers (especially containers shaped like cylinders) may overheat. The liquid may splash during or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm you or damage
the microwave oven.
*Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads from the outer to the center cooked
areas, just as in regular oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the cooking
time.
*Do nat deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is dimcutt to maintain
appropriate deep-frying temperatures.
*Do not overtook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightty firm
because they will continue cooking during standing time. After mlcrawavlng, let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
if your eiectrlc power llne or outlet voltage is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a
qualified electrician check your electrical system.

Amount of Food
If you increase or decrease the amount of food you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a little more than half the original cooking time. Check for readiness and, if
necessary, add more time in small increments.
Starting Temperature of Food *The lower the temperature of the food being
put into the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook. Food at room temperature will reheat quicker than food at refrigerator temperature.
Composition of Food
*Food with a lot of fat and sugar will heat faster
than food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a higher temperature than water in the cooking process.
*The more dense the food, the longer it takes to
heat. "Very dense" food, like meat, takes longer to heat than lighter, more porous food, like sponge
cakes.
Size and Shape
Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger pieces. Also, same shaped pieces cook more evenly than differently shaped pieces.
With foods that have different thicknesses, the thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker
parts. Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in the center of the dish.
Stirring and Turning Foods
*Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to
the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the outer edges of the food.
Covering Food
Cover food to reduce splattering, shorten cooking
times, and keep food moist. You can use any covering that tets microwaves pass
through. See "Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven" for materials that microwaves will
pass through.
Releasing Pressure in Foods
*Several foods (for example: baked potatoes,
sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up under the membrane during cooking, causing the food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.
Using Standing Time
Always allow food to stand, either in or out of the oven, after cooking power stops. Standing time after defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to evenly spread throughout the food, improving the cooking results. For inside oven standing time, you can program " 0 " power second stage of the cooking cycle. See Two-Stage Cooking.
The length of the standing time depends on how much food you are cooking and how dense it is. Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes
to remove the food from the oven and take it to the serving table. However, with a larger, denser
food item, the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes.
Arranging Food
For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You
can do this in severat ways: *If you are cooking several items of the same
food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking.
When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the smaller or thinner area of the food towards the
center of the dish where it will be heated last.
Layer thin sllcesof meat on top of each other.
When you cook or reheat whole fish,score the
skin - this prevents cracking.
Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing. Arcing is a spark that can cause damage to the
oven interion
11
Page 12
Using Aluminum Foil
NOTE: Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you
have purchased food prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on the package. When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the top of the food. When using aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:
*Place the container in a glass bowl and add some water so that it covers the bottom of the container;
no more than !/4 in. (.64 cm) high. This ensures even heating of the container bottom. *Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the oven. *Use only undamaged containers. * Do not use containers taller than 3/4 in. (1.9 cm).
*Container must be at least half fined. *To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum !/4 in. (.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the
wails of the oven and also between two aluminum containers. *Always place the container on the turntable.
*Shield, with small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly; such as wing tips and
leg ends of poultry. *Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually takes up to double the time compared to reheating
in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The time when food is ready will vary depending upon the
type of container used. *Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so that heat is spread evenly throughout container.
Cooking you should not do in your microwave oven *Do not put canned foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.
*Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at
the high temperature needed for sterilization.

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Sensor took cooking allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. 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 heat. The display will show the remaining heating time. For best results by Sensor, following these
recommendations: *Food cooked with the sensor system should be
at normal storage temperature.
*The glass tray and outside of the container
should be dry to assure best cooking results.
*Foods should always be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper or a lid.
*Do not open the door or touch the STOP key
during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps 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.

CUSTOM DEFROST
Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven. The custom defrost feature provides you with
the best defrosting method for frozen foods.
The cooking guide will show you which defrost sequence is recommended for the food you are defrosting.
For added convenience, the custom defrost includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food in order to get the best defrost results. Three different defrosting levels are provided:
1. MEAT
2. POULTRY
3. FISH
Available weight is 0.1 - 6.0 lbs.
Example: To defrost 1.12Ibs of ground beef.
Touch: Display Shows:
1. Ce_:_r Time of day
NOTE: When you touch the START pad, the disptay changes to a defrost time count down. The oven will beep during the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food. Remove any portions that have thawed. Return frozen portions to the oven and touch START to resume the defrost cycle.
OPERATING TiPS
*For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can
cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
*For best results, roll your ground meat into a ball
before freezing. During the DEFROST cycle, the microwave will signal when it is time to turn the meat over. Scrape off any excess frost from the meat and continue defrosting.
*Place foods in a shallow container or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
This table shows food type selections and the
weights you can set for each type. For best results,
loosen or remove covering on food.

DEFROSTING TIPS TWO-STAGE COOKING
*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).
*Before starting, make sure to remove any and
all metal twist-ties that often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or
elastic bands.
*Open containers, such as cartons, before
placing in the oven.
*Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or
packaging.
*If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it
in a suitable container.
*Slit the skin of skinned food, such as sausage. *Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even
defrosting.
*Always underestimate defrosting time. If
defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it
to the microwave oven for more defrosting.
*The length of defrosting time varies according
to how soNdly the food is frozen.
*The shape of the package affects how quickly
food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.
*As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
*Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts
of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of
the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.
*For better results, let food stand after defrosting.
(For more information on standing time, see the "'Microwave Cooking Tips" section).
*Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.
Break apart and remove food as required.
For best results, some recipes call for different power levels during a cook cycle. You can program your oven for two power level stages
during the cooking cycle.

QUESTIONS ANSWERS
Can i operate my microwave oven without the No. if you remove or turn over the turntable, you turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your
large dish? oven must fit on the turntable.
Can i use either metal or aluminum pans in
my microwave oven?
You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small, fiat pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is no taller than 3/4 in. [1.9 cm] deep and is filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls
or door.
is it normal for the turntable to turn in
either direction?
Yes. The turntable reverses rotation each time the
microwave oven door is opened and closed.
This helps cook food evenly.
Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears wavy. Is this normal?
What are the humming noises that I hear when
my microwave oven is operating?
Why does the dish become hot when I
microwave food in it? I thought that this should not happen.
This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.
You may hear the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on.
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the
heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to remove food after cooking.
What does "standing time" mean? "Standing time" means that after the timed
cooking period ends, food should be allowed to stand either inside or outside of the oven to
completely finish cooking. Outside oven standing time will allow the oven to be available for
other use. For inside oven standing time, you can program a "0" power second stage of the cooking cycle. See Two-Stage Cooking.
Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?
Can i pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do I get the best results?
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent
this steam.
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn while
following the manufacturer's guidelines. Do not
use regular paper bags. Do not re-pop unpopped kernels. Do not pop
popcorn in glass cookware.
