Gettin 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 Magnetron causes food to make its own heat, and it's this heat that cooks

the food. Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or lightwaves. 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 wherethey contact food as it turns on the turntable.

The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a metal floor, backthrough ovencavity

the glass turntable, and are absorbed bythe food. Metalfloor Glassturntable 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:

• 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 branchcircuits.

For the best cooking results

• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time recommended. Checkto 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 halfwaythrough the cooking time for all recipes. This will help makesure the food is evenly cooked.

• If you do not have a cover for adish, use wax paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or plastic wrap. Remember to turn back acorner of the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.

Cookware guide

Most heat resistant, nonmetallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test

cookware before using,follow these steps:

1. Placethe empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1cup (250ml)water ina glass measuring cup and place itin the oven beside the cookware.

3. Microwave on 100% powerfor 1minute.Ifthe dish iswarm,it should not be usedfor microwave cooking.

Operating safety precautions

• Never lean on the door or allow a childto swing on it when thedoor is open.

• Use hot pads. Microwave energydoes notheat containers, but the heatfrom thefood can make the container hot.

• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper inthe oven.

• Do not dryflowers, fruit,herbs, wood, paper,gourds, or clothes in theoven.

• Do not starta microwave oven when it is empty. Productlife may be shortened. Ifyou practice programming the oven, put a container ofwater in the oven. Itis normal forthe oven door to look wavy after the oven has been runningfor a while.

• Do not tryto melt paraffin wax in theoven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven because itallows microwaves to pass through it.

• Do not operatethe microwave oven unless the glass turntable is securely in placeand 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 avoidpossibly breaking it. If your turntablecracks or breaks, contact your dealer fora replacement.

• When you use abrowning dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least 3/16 inchabove the turntable.

Followthe directions supplied with the browning dish.

• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them toburst, and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs beforeheating.In rare cases, poachedeggs have

been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time ofone minute beforecutting into them.

• For best results, stir any liquid several times during heating or reheating. Liquidsheated in certain containers (especiallycontainersshaped likecylinders) may become overheated. The liquidmay splashout with a loudnoiseduring or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffeegranules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm you or damage the microwave oven.

• Microwaves may not reach thecenter ofa roast.The heatspreadsto the center from theouter, cooked areasjust as in regular oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (forexample, roastsor

baked potatoes)stand fora while after cooking,or forstirring some foods duringthe cooking time.

• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavableutensils are not suitable and itis difficultto maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.

• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoesshould be slightlyfirm because they will continue cooking during standing time. After microwaving, let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

Electrical connection

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

qualified electrician check your electrical system.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Amount of food

• Ifyou increase or decrease the amount of food you prepare, thetime ittakes to cook that food will also change. For example, ifyou double a recipe,

add a little more than halfthe original cooking time. Check for doneness and, if necessary,add more

time insmall increments.

Starting temperature of food

•The lower the temperature ofthe food being put into the microwave oven, the longer it takes tocook.

Foodat room temperaturewill be re-heated more

quickly thanfood at refrigerator temperature.

Composition of food

• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated fasterthan food containing a lotof water. Fat and

sugarwill also reach a highertemperature than water in thecooking process.

•The more dense the food, the longer ittakes to heat. "Very dense"food likemeat takes longer to

heat than lighter, more porousfood 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 partswill cook fasterthan the thicker parts.

Place the thinner partsof chicken wings and legs in the center of thedish.

Stirring,turning foods

•Stirring and turning foods spreadsheatquicklyto the center of thedish and avoids overcooking atthe outer edges of the food.

Covering food

Cover food to:

• Reduce splattering

•Shorten cooking times

• Keepfood moist

You can use any covering that letsmicrowaves pass through. See "Getting to KnowYour Microwave

Oven"for materialsthat microwaves will pass through.

Releasingpressure in foods

•Several foods (forexample:baked potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits)are tightly covered by a skinor membrane. Steam can build up

under the membrane during cooking, causing the food to burst.To relieve the pressureand to prevent

bursting, pierce these foods beforecooking with a fork,cocktail pick,or toothpick.

Using standing time

•Always allow food to stand eitherin or out ofoven after cooking power stops. Standing time after

defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to evenly spread throughout the food, improving the

cooking results. Forinside oven standing time, you can program"0" power sencond stage of the

cooking cycle. SeeTwo-Stage Cooking.

•The length of the standing time depends on how much food you are cookingand howdense it is.

Sometimes it can be as short asthe time ittakes you to remove thefood from the oven and take itto

the serving table. However,with large,denser food item, the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes.

Arranging food

For best results, placefood 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 towardsthe center of the dishwhere itwill be heated last.

• Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.

•When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin - this preventscracking.

•Do not letfood or a container touch the top or sides of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing. Arcing isa spark that can cause damage to the

oven interior.

Using aluminum foil

Metal containers should notbe used in a microwave oven. There are, however,some exceptions. If you

have purchased foodwhich is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container,refer to the instructionson

the package.When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves

will only penetrate the top ofthe food. If you use

aluminum containers without package instructions,

follow these guidelines:

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS (CONT.)

Using aluminum foil (cont.)

• Place the container in a glass bowl and addsome water so that it coversthe bottom of thecontainer, not more than 1/4in, (.64 cm) high, This ensures even heating ofthe container bottom.

• Always remove the lid toavoid damage to the oven,

• Use only undamaged containers,

• Do not use containers tallerthan 3/4 in. (1.9cm),

• Container must be at least half filled,

• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1/4in, (.64cm) between the aluminum container and thewalls of theoven and also between two aluminum containers.

• Always place thecontainer on theturntable,

• Shield withsmall pieces ofaluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg endsof poultry.

• Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually takes up to double the time compared to reheating in plastic,glass, china, or paper containers, Thetime when food is readywill vary dependingupon the type of container you use,

• Let food stand for2 to3 minutes after heatingso that heat isspread evenly throughout container.

Cooking you should not do in your microwaveoven

• Do not do canning of foods in the oven, Closed glassjars may explode, resulting in damage tothe oven,

• Do not usethe microwave ovento sterilize objects (babybottles, etc,), It is difficultto keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization,

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS

For best results, some recipes callfor different cook powers.The lower the cook power,the slower the

cooking. Each numberfrom 1 to 9 stands for a differentpercentage offull cook power.

Thefollowing chart gives the percentage of cook power each number pad stands for, and the cook

power name usually used.

Italso tells you when to use each cook power. Follow recipeor food package instructionsif available.

NOTE: Refer to a reliablecookbook for cooking times basedon the 1000Watt cook power of your microwave

oven.

COOK Power LEVEL WHEN TO USE IT

100% offull power High • Quickly heating convenience foods and foods with

high water content,such as soups and beverages.

• Cooking tender cuts of meat, ground meat,or chicken.

9 = 90% offull power • Heatingcream soups. 8 = 80% offull power • Heating rice, pasta,or casseroles.

7 = 70% offull power Medium-High • Cookingand heating foods that need a

Cook Power lower than high (for example, whole fish and meat loaf)or when food is cooking too fast.

• Reheatinga single serving offood.

NOTE: Once cook time has been entered, youcan also use the Cook Power pad as a second Kitchen Timer by entering "0"for the Cook Power. The oven will count down the cooking time you set without

cooking.

AUTO DEFROST

Three defrost sec uences are preset in the oven. The auto 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 Auto Defrost

includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange to get

best defrost results. Three different defrosting levels

are provided.

NOTE:

When you touch the START pad, the display changes to 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, shape your ground meat into the form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.

• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

This table shows you food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best

results, loosen or remove covering on food,

Weight conversion table

You are probably used to food weights as being in

pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you must

specify pounds and tenths of a pound.

If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a

pound, you can use the following table to convert the weight to decimals.

DEFROSTING TIPS HOLD WARM

•When using Auto Defrost,the weight to be entered is the netweight in pounds and tenths of pounds

(theweight of the food minus the container).

• Before starting, make sure you have removed any of the metal twist-tieswhich often come with frozen

food bags, and replace them with stringsor elastic bands.

•Open containers such as cartons beforethey are placed in the oven,

•Always slit or pierce plasticpouches or packaging,

•If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and placeit in a suitable container.

•Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage,

• Bend plastic pouches of food toensure even defrosting.

•Always underestimate defrostingtime. If defrosted food isstill icy in the center, returnitto the

microwave oven for more defrosting,

• The length of defrosting timevaries accordingto

howsolidly the food is frozen.

• The shape of the package affectshow quickly food will defrost. Shallow packageswill defrost more

quickly than a deep block.

• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.

Separated pieces defrostmore 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 getwarm, Makesure thefoil does

nottouch the sides, top, or bottomof the oven, The

foil can damage the oven lining,

• For better results, let food stand after defrosting,

(For more informationon standing time,see the

"Microwave Cooking Tips" section.)

• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.

Breakapart 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.
