DEFROSTTIPS

• When using AUTODEFROST,the weight to be entered isthe net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight ofthe food minus the container).

• Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO DEFROST gives best

resultswhen food to be thawed is a minimumof 0°F (taken directly from a

true freezer). If food has beenstored

in a refrigerator-freezerthat does not

maintain a temperature of 5°F orbelow, always program a lower foodweight (for a shorter defrostingtime) to prevent cooking the food.

• Ifthe food isstored outsidethe freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a lowerfood

weight.

•The shape ofthe package alters the defrostingtime. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.

• Separate pieces asthey begin to defrost. Separated pieces defrost more easily.

• Shield areas offood with small piecesof foil if they start to become warm.

•You can use smallpieces of aluminum

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

touch the side of the oven. Foilcauses arcing, which can damage the oven

lining.

Operating Instructions

Guide for Cooking Seafood in Your Microwave

• Cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork.

• Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish.

• Use a tight cover to steam fish. A lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming.

• Do not overcook fish; check it at minimum cooking time.

Guide for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave

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

•Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

• Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.

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

MICROWAVE 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

it may 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 awarm (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 instructions to 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) ina 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. Be sure 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 acup of water in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.

Troubleshooting

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Before you call a repair person for your oven, check this list of possible problems and solutions.

Neither the oven's display nor the oven operate.

• Properly insert the plug into a grounded outlet.

• If the outlet is controlled by a wail switch, make sure the wail switch is turned on.

• Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then

plug it in again.

• Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.

Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the other appliance doesn't work, have a qualified electrician repair the outlet.

Plug the oven into a different outlet.

The oven's display works, but the power won't come on.

• Make sure the door is closed securely.

• Check to see if packing material or other material is stuck to the door seal.

• Check for door damage.

• Press STOP/CLEAR pad twice and re-enter all cooking

instructions.

The power goes off before the set time has elapsed.

• If there has not been a power outage, remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. If

there was a power outage, the time indicator will display:

PLEASE TOUCH CLOCK AND SETTIME OF DAY. Reset

the clock and any cooking instructions.

• Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.

The food is cooking too slowly.

• Make sure the oven is on its own 20 amp circuit line. Operating another appliance on the same circuit can

cause a voltage drop. If necessary, move the oven to its own circuit.

You see sparks or arcing.

• Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil, use only narrow strips and allow at least one

inch between the foil and interior oven walls.

The turntable makes noises or sticks.

• Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor.

• Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.

Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference.

• This is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances, such as hair dryers. Move your microwave

further away from other appliances, like your TV or radio. Note:

ff the oven is set to cook for more than 25 minutes, it will automatically adjust itself to 70 percent power

after 25 minutes to avoid overcooking.
