Getting to Know Your

Microwave Oven

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the

basics you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use 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’s this heat that cooks the food.

Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light waves. You

cannot see them, but you can see 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 lurnlable. The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves pass through. Then they 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.

Magnetron

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:

• Cleaning 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.

• Plugging 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 Minute while the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is over (see the “Using add minute” section).

' Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking lime for all recipes.

This will help make sure 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.

Page 7

Cookware guide

Most heat resistant, nonmetalllc cookware Is safe for use In your microwave oven. However, to test

cookware before using,follow these steps:

1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1 cup {250ml) 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.

Operating safety precautions

• Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open.

• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the heat from the food can make the

container hot.

• Do not 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. Product life may be shortened. If you practice programming

the oven, put a container of water in the oven. 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. Paraffin 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 securely 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 it from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your turntable cracks or breaks, contact your dealer for a replacement.

• When you use 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 whole 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.

• For best results, stir any liquid several times during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain

containers (especially containers shaped like cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise 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 to the center from the outer, 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 not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate

deep-frying temperatures.

• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm

because they will continue cooking during standing time. After microwaving, let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

Electrical connection

If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a

qualified electrician check your electrical system.

Page 11

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

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 doneness 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 be re-heated more quickly than food at refrigerator temperature.

Composition of food

• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated

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 different-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, 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

• Keep food moist

You can use any covering that lets microwaves pass through. See “Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven” for materials that microwaves will pass through.

Reieasing 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 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 sencond 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 you to remove the food from the oven and take it to the serving table. However, with large, 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 several 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 slices of 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 interior.

Using aluminum foil

Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you have purchased food which is 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. If you use aluminum containers wthout package instructions, follow these guidelines:

Page 12

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS (CONT.)

Using aluminum foil (cont.)

• Place the container in a glass bowl and add some water so that it covers the bottom of the container, not

more than V4 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 34 in. (1.9 cm).

• Container must be at least half filled.

• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1/4 in. (.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the walls 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 poulfry.

• Heating food in aluminum foil confainers 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 you use.

• 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 do canning of 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.

DEFROSTING TIPS

HOLD WARM

• 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 you have removed any

of the metai twist-ties which often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic

bands.

• Open containers such as cartons before they are

placed 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 skins, if any, of frozen 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 solidly 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.

You can safely keep hot, cooked food warm in your

microwave oven for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds (about 1 hour, 40 minutes). You can use Hold Warm by itself, or to automatically follow a cooking cycle.

Example; To use the hold warm.

To make Hold Warm automatically follow another cycle:

• While you are touching in cooking instructions,

touch Hold Warm before touching START.

• When the last cooking cycle is over, you will hear

two tones. “Hold Warm” will come on while the oven continues to run.

• You can set Hold Warm to follow Auto Defrost, Cook, or two-stage cooking.

NOTES:

• Hold Warm operates for up to 99 minutes, 99

seconds.

• Opening the oven door cancels Hold Warm. Close

the door and touch Hold Warm, then touch START if additional Hold Warm time is desired.

• Food cooked covered should be covered during

Hold Warm.

• Pastry items (pies, turnovers, etc.) should be

uncovered during Hold Warm.

• Complete meals kept warm on a dinner plate should be covered during Hold Warm.

• Do not use more than one complete Hold Warm

cycle (about 1 hour, 40 minutes). The quality of some foods will suffer with extended time.

Using Sensor Cooking

SENSOR COOKING

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook 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.

• Glass Tray and outside of 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/Clear" key during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps twice and the remaining rooking time will appear in the display wndow. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn or rearrange the food.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good Sensor cooking results.

• Always use microwavable containers and rover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.

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

• Match the amount 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.

Caring for Your Microwave Oven

To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should

maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully.

For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy

water and a sponge or soft doth.

Use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or a

mild detergent. Be sure to keep the areas clean where the door and oven frame touch when closed. Wipe well with clean cloth.

Over time, stains can occur on the surfaces as the result of food particles spattering during cooking. This is normal.

For stubborn soli, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2

to 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven,

boil a cup of water with some lemon juice or vinegar in it.

To clean turntable and turntable support, wash in

mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled areas use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. The turntable and turntable support are dishwasher safe.

For exterior surfaces and control panel; Use a soft

cloth with spray glass cleaner. Apply the spray glass cleaner to the soft cloth; do not spray directly on the oven.

NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel wool

pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can dam

age the control panel and the Interior and exterior oven surfaces.

Questions and Answers

QUESTIONS ANSWERS

Can 1 operate my microwave oven without the turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a large dish?

Can 1 use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave oven?

Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?

Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears wavy. Is this normal?

What are the humming noises that 1 hear when my microwave oven is operating?

Why does the dish become hot when 1 microwave food in it? 1 thought that this should not happen.

What does “standing time" mean?

No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you

will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in

your oven must fit on the turntable. You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use

small, flat pieces), small skewers, and shallow

foil trays (if tray is not 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.

Yes. The turntable reverses rotation each time the

microwave oven door is opened and closed.

This helps cook food evenly. 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.

“Standing time" means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time to allow it to finish cooking. This

frees the oven for other cooking.

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

Can 1 pop popcorn in my microwave oven?

How do 1 get the best results?

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the vents.

Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn

following manufacturer’s guidelines. Do not use

regular paper bags. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.
