CAUTION

•Use the automatic timer when cooking cured or frozen meats and most fruits and vegetables. Foods that can easily spoil, such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when cooking is completed.

•Eating spoiled food can result in sickness from food poisoning.

OPERATION

Using the Upper Oven

Before Using the Upper Oven

NOTE

•To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do not use stoneware, metal cookware, or metal rimmed cookware in the oven.

•To program the oven, make sure you touch the center of each key firmly since the areas between the keys will not activate the oven. A tone will sound each time a key is touched correctly. Don’t touch several keys at once.

•Do not strike the control panel with silverware, cookware, etc. Breakage may occur.

•Always use caution when taking cookware out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and may be hot. See Cookware Guide earlier in this section for more information.

Microwave Cookware Guide

NOTE

•Do not rinse containers by placing them in water immediately after cooking. This may cause breakage. Also, always allow the turntable to cool before removing it from the oven.

•Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or water should always be in the oven during operation to absorb the microwave energy.

•Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes. They may catch fire.

•Use thermometers that have been approved for microwave oven cooking.

•The turntable must always be in place when you operate the oven.

•Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it to burst.

Use Do Not Use

OVENPROOF GLASS

(treated for high intensity heat): utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim.

CHINA:

bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without metallic rims.

PLASTIC: Plastic wrap (as a cover)- lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides.

Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food. As the food heats it may melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food.

Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags only for short cooking time. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.

PAPER:

Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins, and paper plates with no metallic rim or design. Check the manufacturer's label before using in the microwave oven.

NOTE:

Do not use recycled paper products in the microwave oven. They sometimes contain impurities that cause arcing and sparking.

METAL CONTAINERS:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil trays. Metal containers can cause arcing, which can damage the microwave oven.

METAL DECORATION:

Metal-rimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. The metal rim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the oven.

ALUMINUM FOIL:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls and door of the oven.

WOOD:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the same way.

TIGHTLY COVERED COOKWARE:

Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered containers. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode.

BROWN PAPER:

Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb too much heat and could burn.

FLAWED OR CHIPPED COOKWARE:

Any container that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the oven.

METAL TWIST TIES:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot and could cause a fire.

OPERATION

Microwave Cooking Tips

Keeping an Eye on Things

Always watch your food while it cooks. The light inside the upper oven turns on automatically when the oven is cooking so you can monitor the cooking process. 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 Microwave 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. Some recipes, particularly those for bread, cake, and custards, 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 portions of the food gradually travels inward. If the food is left in the oven until it is cooked all the way through, the outer portions will become overcooked or even burnt. Practice will improve your ability to estimate both cooking and standing times for various foods.

Density of Food

Light, porous food such as cakes and breads cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods such as roasts and casseroles. You must take care when microwaving porous food so that the outer edges do not become dry and brittle.

Height of Food

The upper portion of tall foods, particularly roasts, will cook more quickly than the lower portion.

Therefore, it is wise to turn tall food several times during cooking.

Moisture Content of Food

Because the heat generated from microwaves causes moisture to evaporate, relatively dry food 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 Food

Bones conduct heat and fat cooks more quickly than meat. Care must be taken when cooking bony or fatty cuts of meat in order to prevent unevenly cooked or overcooked meat.

Quantity of Food

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 required cooking time. Remember to decrease cooking times by at least one third when halving a recipe.

Shape of Food

Microwaves penetrate only about 3/4 of an inch (2 cm) into food. The interior portion of thick foods is cooked as the heat generated on the outside travels inward. Only the outer edge of food is cooked by microwave energy; the rest is cooked by conduction. The worst possible shape for a food that is to be microwaved is a thick square.

The corners will burn long before the center is even warm. Round thin foods and ring-shaped foods cook most successfully in the microwave.

Covering

A cover traps heat and steam which causes food to cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave cling film with a corner folded back to prevent splitting.

Covering with Parchment Paper

Parchment paper (not waxed paper) is microwave safe. Because it makes a looser cover than a lid or clingfilm, greaseproof paper allows the food to dry out slightly.

Stirring

Stirring is one of the most important of all microwaving techniques. In conventional cooking, food is stirred for the purpose of blending. Microwaved food, however, is stirred in order to spread and redistribute heat. Always stir from the outside towards the centre as the outside of the food heats first.

Placing Thicker Portions Facing Outward

Place thicker cuts or portions of meat, poultry, and fish toward the outer edge of the baking dish so they absorb the most microwave energy and the food cooks more evenly.

ENGLISH Using the Upper Oven

OPERATION

Shielding

Strips of aluminium foil (which block microwaves) can be placed over the corners or edges of square and rectangular foods to prevent those portions from overcooking. Never use too much foil and make sure the foil is secured to the dish or it may cause arcing in the oven, especially if the foil passes too closely to the walls of the oven during rotation.

Elevating

Thick or dense foods can be 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 yolks and whites of eggs, clams, oysters, potatoes, and other whole vegetables and fruits.

Testing if Cooked

Microwaves cook food quickly, so test food for doneness frequently. Some foods are left in the microwave until completely cooked, but most foods, including meats and poultry, should be 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.

Microwave Power Levels

This upper oven is equipped with 10 power levels to give you maximum flexibility and control over cooking. See the table for suggested power levels for various foods.

OPERATION

Defrosting Tips

•When using 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, remove the metal 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.

•Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original wrapping paper or plastic package. Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.

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

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

•Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.

•Place foods in a shallow container or in a microwave roasting dish to catch the drippings.

•Always underestimate defrosting time. Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven. If defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the upper oven for more defrosting.

•The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen.

•Depending on the shape of the food, some areas may defrost more quickly than others.

•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 to defrost them more easily.

•Turn over food during defrosting or standing time. Break apart and remove food as required.

•For best results, shape ground meat into the form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.

•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.

Sensor Operation

Sensor Cook reheats 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 tells the oven how much longer to heat. The display shows the remaining heating time. For best results when sensor cooking, follow these recommendations.

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

•The glass tray and the 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 Clear/Off during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps 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.

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good sensor cooking results.

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

•Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. 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 upper oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

Using Sensor Cook

Use Sensor Cook to heat common microwaveprepared foods without needing to program times and power levels. Sensor Cook has preset programs for 9 food categories. See the Sensor Cook table for more information.

Touch Start. The oven starts to preheat and

display shows Conv.Bake and the oven temperature. (Do not enter the time.)
