IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

■As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

■Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

■The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Call an authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.

■Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.

■Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use the microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations.

■Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

■Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

■Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

■See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Microwave Oven Care” section.

■To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

–Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

–Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven.

–If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

–Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

■Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

–Do not overheat the liquid.

–Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

–Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

–After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

–Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

■Do not mount over a sink.

■Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven when the microwave oven is in operation.

■Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

■Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.

■Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in grill or “Crisp” mode.

■Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's recommended accessories, in this microwave oven when not in use.

■Do not cover racks or any other part of the microwave oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the microwave oven.

MICROWAVE OVEN USE

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules

in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food.

■■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.

■■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.

■■ The turntable must be in place and correct side up when microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken. See the “Accessories” section to reorder.

■■ Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in microwave oven.

■■ Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, and paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in the microwave oven.

■■ Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it does not absorb microwaves.

■■ Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from microwave oven.

■■ Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

■■ Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.

Food Characteristics

When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition, and density of the food affect cooking results.

Amount of Food

The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.

Size and Shape

Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces, and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food.

Starting Temperature

Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.

Composition and Density

Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature and will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake.

Cooking Guidelines

Covering

Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time, and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels, or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking.

Stirring and Turning

Stirring and turning redistributes heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.

Arranging

If heating irregularly shaped or different-sized foods, arrange the thinner parts and smaller-sized items toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.

Piercing

Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to allow steam to vent.

Shielding

Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones, and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section first.

Standing Time

Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat, even after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food.

9

Reheat

Times and cooking powers have been preset for reheating a number of food types.

Use the following chart as a guide.

Defrost

■■ For optimal results, food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder when defrosting.

■■ Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before defrosting.

■■ Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.

■■ Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the end of the cycle for more even defrosting.

■■ Foods left outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes or frozen ready-made food should not be defrosted using the Defrost feature but should be defrosted manually.

■■ Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section first.
