DEFROSTTIPS

,,When usingAUTO DEFROST,the

weight to be entered isthe netweight in

poundsand tenths of pounds (the weight
ofthe food minus the container).

• Use AUTO DEFROST onlyfor raw
food.AUTO DEFROST gives best

results when foodto be thawed is a
minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a

true freezer). If food has been stored
in a refrigerator-freezer that does not
maintain a temperature of 5°F or below,
alwaysprogram a lower foodweight (for
a shorter defrosting time) to prevent
cooking the food.

• If the food is stored outside the freezer
for up to 20 minutes, enter a lowerfood

weight.

,,Theshape of the package alters the

defrostingtime. Shallow rectangular
packets defrost more quickly than a
deep block.

,,Separate pieces asthey begin to defrost.

Separated pieces defrost moreeasily.

,,Shield areas offood with small pieces of

foil if they start to become warm.

,,Youcan use small pieces ofaluminum

foil to shield foods like chicken wings, leg
tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not

touch the side of the oven. Foil causes
arcing, which can damage the oven
lining.

Guide for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave

, Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.

• Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

, Cook eggs just until set; they become tough ifovercooked.

Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave

• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. If dense vegetables such as

potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about 1Acup water.

• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.

• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable
before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time has passed.

• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the

tips toward the center.

, When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.

• Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots
before cooking to prevent them from bursting.

, For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time.
, Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense,

large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato can stand on the

counter for five minutes, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.

Cooking Utensils

IVllCROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE

OVEN PROOF 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 trim.

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

itmay melt the plastic wrap wherever

the wrap touches the food.

Use plastic dishes, cups, semirigid
freezer containers and plastic bags

only for short cooking times.
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 trim or design. Look for the
manufacturer's label for use in the

microwave oven.

METAL UTENSILS:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven
cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal

utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.

METAL DECORATION:

Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. The
metal trim 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 UTENSILS:

Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered utensils.
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 UTENSILS:

Any utensil 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.

Care and Cleaning

CARE AND CLEANING

For best performance and safety,
keep the oven clean inside and out-
side. Take special care to keep the
inner door panel and the oven front
frame free of food or grease build-up.
Never use rough powder or pads.
Wipe the microwave oven inside and
out, including the hood bottom cover,

with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot)

mild detergent solution. Then rinse and

wipe dry. Use a chrome cleaner and

polish on chrome, metal and aluminum
surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately

with a wet paper towel, especially after

cooking chicken or bacon. Clean your
oven weekly or more often, if needed.

Follow these instructionsto clean and
care for your oven.

• Keep the inside of the oven clean.
Food particles and spilled liquids can

stick to the oven walls, causing the
oven to work less efficiently.

•Wipe up spills immediately. Use a

damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use
harsh detergents or abrasives.

•To help loosen baked on food particles

or liquids, heat two cups of water (add
the juice of one lemon if you desire
to keep the oven fresh) in a four-cup
measuring glass at High power for five
minutes or until boiling. Let stand in

the oven for one or two minutes.

• Remove the glass tray from the oven

when cleaning the oven or tray.To

prevent the tray from breaking, handle
it carefully and do not put it in water
immediately after cooking. Wash the

tray carefully in warm sudsy water or

in the dishwasher.

• Clean the outside surface of the oven

with soap and a damp cloth. Dry with
a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the
operating parts of the oven, don't let
water seep into the openings.

•Wash the door window with very mild

soap and water. Besure to use a soft
cloth to avoid scratching.

• If steam accumulates inside or

outside the oven door, wipe with a soft
cloth. Steam can accumulate when

operating the oven in high humidity
and in no way indicates microwave

leakage.

• Never operate the oven without food

in it; this can damage the magnetron
tube or glass tray.You may wish to
leave a cup of water in the oven when
it is not in use to prevent damage if the
oven is accidentally turned on.

CLEANING THE GREASE

FILTER

The grease filter should be removed
and cleaned often, at least once a

month.

To remove grease filter, slide filter
to the side. Pull filter downward and

push to the other side.The filter will
drop out.

Soak grease filter in hot water and a
mild detergent. Rinse well and shake
to dry. Do not use ammonia or place

in a dishwasher. The aluminum will

darken.

3. To reinstall the filter, slide it into the
side slot, then push up and toward

oven center to lock.
