Installation
To avoid risk of electrical
shock or death, this oven must be grounded.
To avoid risk of electrical
shock or death, do not alter the plug.
WARNING
Grounding Instructions
Oven MUST be grounded.
Grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current if an electrical short occurs. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is prop­erly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or ser­vicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is prop­erly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in specifications table. When the microwave oven is on a cir­cuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.
Microwave operates on standard household voltage, 110-120V.
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 on the front of oven cavity. 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.
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.
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.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use

Other Helpful Information
GETTING THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Keep an eye on things. 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 por-
tions 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.
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 cutup 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.
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.
Page 7
7
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.

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, above.
2. Glassware: Glassware that is heat-resistant is microwave­safe. This includes all brands of oventempered 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.

• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
• Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.
