SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven.
IMPORTANT
Proper cooking depends upon the power, the time setting and quantity of food. If you use a smaller portion than recommended but cook at the time for the recommended portion, re could result.
1) HOME CANNING / STERILIZING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL QUANTITIES OF FOODS
DO NOT use your oven for home canning. Your oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning
temperature. The food may be contaminated and then spoil.
DO NOT use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difcult to keep the oven at the high
temperature needed for sterilization.
DO NOT dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture
content can dry out, scorch or catch on re if overheated.
2) POPCORN
Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven corn popper. Microwave popcorn which pops in its own package is also available. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable for the cooking power of your microwave oven. CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, you can follow recommended package instructions or use the popcorn button (refer to page 19). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause a re. Never leave oven unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool before opening; always open the bag facing away from your face and body to prevent steam burns.
3) DEEP FAT FRYING
DO NOT deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Cooking oils may burst into ames and may cause damage to the
oven and perhaps result in burns. Microwave utensils may not withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.
4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS
DO NOT COOK/REHEAT WHOLE EGGS, WITH OR WITHOUT THE SHELL. Steam buildup in whole eggs may
cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard-boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.
Potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of
foods must be pierced before microwave cooking to prevent them from exploding.
CAUTION: Cooking dry or old potatoes can cause re.
5) FLAT TABLE / COOKING CONTAINERS / FOIL
• Cooking containers get hot during microwaving. Heat is transferred from the HOT food to the container and the
Flat Table. Use pot holders when removing containers from the oven or when removing lids or plastic wrap cov­ers from cooking containers, to avoid burns.
• The Flat Table will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed to cool before paper products, such as paper
plates or microwave popcorn bags, are placed in the oven for microwave cooking.
• When using foil in the oven, allow at least 2.5 cm (1-inch) of space between foil and interior oven walls or door.
• Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing may occur.
6) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS
DO NOT use paper towels or cloths which contain a synthetic fiber woven into them. The synthetic fiber may
cause the towel to ignite. Use paper towels under supervision.
7) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS
• Browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking only. Always follow instructions provided by the
manufacturer. DO NOT preheat browning dish for longer than 6 minutes.
• If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to package directions. DO NOT use a
wire twist-tie to close bag; instead use plastic ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(continued)
8) THERMOMETERS
DO NOT use a conventional meat thermometer in your oven. Arcing may occur. Microwave safe thermometers
are available for both meat and candy.
9) BABY FORMULA / BABY FOOD
DO NOT heat baby formula or baby food in the microwave oven. The glass jar or surface of the food may
appear warm while the interior can be so hot as to burn the infant’s mouth and esophagus.
10) REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS
• When reheating pastry products, check temperatures of any fillings before eating. Some foods have fillings
which heat faster and can be extremely hot, while the surface remains warm to the touch (e.g. jelly donuts).
11) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES
DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the preparation of food. This oven is specically designed to
heat or cook food. DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food products.

Inside of the oven:
Wipe with a damp cloth after using. Mild detergent may be used if needed. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
Oven Door:
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth when steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door. During cooking, especially under high humidity conditions, steam is given off from the food. (Some steam will con­dense on cooler sur­faces, such as the oven door. This is normal.) Inside surface is cov­ered with a heat and vapor barrier film. Do
not remove.
Oven cavity floor:
Clean the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent water or window cleaner, and dry.
AFTER CLEANING:
Be sure the microwave oven is clean and dry, then press Stop/Reset button to clear the Display.
Outside oven surfaces:
Clean with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into ventila­tion openings.
Control Panel:
• Covered with a removable protective film to prevent scratches during shipping. Small bubbles may appear under this film. (Hint - To
remove film, apply masking or clear tape to an exposed corner and pull gently.)
• If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
After using, clean it with a mild
detergent or dishwasher.

Notes:
1. When using the Convection, Grill or cooking in the Combination mode, some foods may inevitably splatter grease on to the oven walls. If the oven is not cleaned, occasionally it may start to "smoke" during use. These marks will be more difcult to clean later.
2. After Grill, Combination or Convection cooking the ceiling and walls of the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth squeezed in soapy water. Particular care should be taken to keep the window area clean particularly after cooking by Grill, Combination or Convection. Stubborn spots inside the oven can be removed by using a small amount of microwave oven cleaner sprayed onto a soft damp cloth. Wipe onto problem spots, leave for recommended time and then wipe off. This method cannot be used to clean the oven door.
DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN. A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.
3. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY. FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDEN­SATION MAY CAUSE RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL SURFACES-INCLUDING VENT OPENINGS, OVEN SEAMS.

Defrosting Tips & Techniques
Preparation For Freezing:
1. Freeze meats, poultry, and sh in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. Place wax paper between layers.
2. Package in heavy-duty plastic wraps, bags (labeled "For Freezer"), or freezer paper.
3. Remove as much air as possible.
4. Seal securely, date, and label.
To Defrost:
1. Remove wrapper. This helps moisture to evaporate. Juices from food can get hot and cook the food.
2. Set food in microwave-safe dish.
3. Place roasts fat-side down. Place whole poultry breast-side down.
4. Select power and minimum time so that items will be under-defrosted.
5. Drain liquids during defrosting.
6. Turn over (invert) items during defrosting.
7. Shield edges and ends if needed. (See Cooking Techniques).
After Defrosting:
1. Large items may be icy in the centre. Defrosting will complete during STANDING TIME.
2. Let stand, covered, following stand time directions on next page.
3. Rinse foods as indicated in the chart.
4. Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer stand time.

Food Characteristics
Cooking Techniques
Bone and Fat
Both bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may cause irregular cooking. Meat next to the tips of bones may overcook while meat positioned under a large bone, such as a ham bone, may be undercooked. Large amounts of fat absorb microwave energy and the meat next to these areas may overcook.
Density
Porous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls take less time to cook than heavy, dense foods such as potatoes and roasts. When reheating donuts or other foods with different centres be very careful. Certain foods have centres made with sugar, water, or fat and these centres attract microwaves (for example, jelly donuts). When a jelly donut is heated, the jelly can become extremely hot while the exterior remains warm to the touch. This could result in a burn if the food is not allowed to cool properly in the centre.
Quantity
Two potatoes take longer to cook than one potato. As the quantity of the food decreases so does the cooking time. Overcooking will cause the moisture content in the food to decrease and a re could result. Never leave microwave unattended while in use.
Shape
Uniform sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a drumstick will cook more quickly than the meaty end. To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin parts toward the centre of the dish and thick pieces toward the edge.
Piercing
Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced, scored or have a strip of skin peeled before cooking to allow steam to escape. Pierce clams, oysters, chicken livers, whole potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole apples or new potatoes should have a 1-inch strip of skin peeled before cooking. Score sausages and frankfurters. Do not Cook/Reheat whole eggs with or without the shell. Steam built up in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard-boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.
Browning
Foods will not have the same brown appearance as conventionally cooked foods or those foods which are cooked utilizing a browning feature. Meats and poultry may be coated with browning sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce or shake-on browning sauce. To use, combine browning sauce with melted butter or margarine and brush on before cooking. For quick breads or mufns, brown sugar can be used in the recipe in place of granulated sugar, or the surface can be sprinkled with dark spices before baking.
Spacing
Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes and appetizers, will cook more evenly if placed in the oven equal distances apart. When possible, arrange foods in a circular pattern.
Size
Thin pieces cook more quickly than thick pieces.
Starting Temperature
Foods that are at room temperature take less time to cook than if they are chilled, refrigerated, or frozen.
31
IP3153_39M80CP_Eng_22_100908.indd 31IP3153_39M80CP_Eng_22_100908.indd 31 2010-9-8 9:48:202010-9-8 9:48:20
Cooking Techniques (continued)
Covering
As with conventional cooking, moisture evaporates during microwave cooking. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When using plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by folding back part of the plastic wrap from the edge of the dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or remove plastic wrap as recipe directs for stand time. When removing plastic wrap covers, as well as any glass lids, be careful to remove them away from you to avoid steam burns. Various degrees of moisture retention are also obtained by using wax paper or paper towels.
Shielding
Thin areas of meat and poultry cook more quickly than meaty portions. To prevent overcooking, these thin areas can be shielded with strips of aluminum foil. Wooden toothpicks may be used to hold the foil in place.
CAUTION is to be exercised when using foil. Arcing can occur if foil is too close to oven wall or door and damage to your oven will result.
Cooking time
A range of cooking time is given in each recipe. The time range compensates for the uncontrollable differences in food shapes, starting temperature, and regional preferences. Always cook food for the minimum cooking time given in a recipe and check for doneness. If the food is undercooked, continue cooking. It is easier to add time to an undercooked product. Once the food is overcooked, nothing can be done.
Stirring
Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking. Always bring the cooked outside edges toward the centre and the less cooked centre portions toward the outside of the dish.
Rearranging
Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces, shrimp, hamburger patties or pork chops. Rearrange pieces from the edge to the centre and pieces from the centre to the edge of the dish.
Turning
It is not possible to stir some foods to distribute the heat evenly. At times, microwave energy will concentrate in one area of the food. To help ensure even cooking, these foods need to be turned. Turn over large foods, such as roasts or turkeys, halfway through cooking.
Stand Time
Most foods will continue to cook by conduction after the microwave oven is turned off. In meat cookery, the internal temperature will rise 3 °C to 8 °C (5 °F to 15 °F), if allowed to stand, tented with foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Casseroles and vegetables need a shorter amount of standing time, but this standing time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking to the centre without overcooking on the edges.
Test for Doneness
The same tests for doneness used in conventional cooking may be used for microwave cooking. Meat is done when fork-tender or splits at bers. Chicken is done when juices are clear yellow and drumstick moves freely. Fish is done when it akes and is opaque. Cake is done when a toothpick or cake tester is inserted and comes out clean.
ABOUT FOOD SAFETY AND COOKING TEMPERATURE
• Check foods to see that they are cooked at the recommended temperatures.
TEMP FOOD
71 °C (160 °F) ... for fresh pork, ground meat, boneless
white poultry, sh, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
74 °C (165 °F) ... for leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated,
and deli and carryout "fresh" food.
77 °C (170 °F) ... white meat of poultry.
82 °C (180 °F) ... dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

Before Requesting Service
THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL
The oven causes interference with my TV.
Steam accumulates on the oven door and warm air comes from the oven vents.
I accidentally operated my microwave oven without any food in it.
There are humming and clicking noises from my oven when I cook using Combination.
The oven has an odour and generates smoke when using Convection, Combination and Grill function.
The fan motor continues operating after cooking is over.
Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, hair dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.
During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most of the steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal and safe. Steam will disappear after the oven has cooled down.
Operating the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven. However, we do not recommend this to be done.
These noise occur as the oven automatically switches from microwave power to Grill, to create the Combination setting. This is normal.
It is essential that your oven is wiped out regularly particularly after cooking using Convection, Combination or Grill. Any fat and grease that builds up on the roof and walls of the oven will begin to smoke if not cleaned.
After using the microwave oven, the fan motor will operate for several minutes to cool the electric components.
Some smoke is given off from the cavity when using grill, combination or convection for the rst time.
This is caused by the excessive oil in the cavity and oil used for rust protection.
