WARNING
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SHOCK:
DO NOT remove outer panel from oven. Repairs must be done only by a qualified
service person.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF EXPOSURE TO
MICROWAVE ENERGY:
DO NOT tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to
Door, Control Panel Frame, Safety Interlock Switches, or any
other part of oven. Microwave leakage may result.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE:
1. DO NOT operate the microwave oven empty or use metal
containers. When using the microwave oven without
water or food, microwave energy can not be absorbed
and will continuously reflect throughout the cavity. This will
cause arcing and damage the oven cavity, door or other
components, which can lead to a fire hazard.
2. DO NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven.
3. DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven, or use news-
paper or paper bags for cooking.
4. DO NOT hit or strike Control Panel. Damage to controls may occur.
5. DO NOT use recycled paper products unless the paper product is labeled as
safe for microwave oven use. Recycled paper products may contain impurities
which may cause sparking.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING:
POT HOLDERS should always be used when removing items from the oven.
Heat is transferred from the HOT food to the cooking container and from the
container to the Glass Tray. The Glass Tray can also be very HOT after removing
the cooking container from the oven. The wire rack is designed for use only in the
browning mode and will be hot after use. Care in handling must be exercised.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For proper use of your oven, read remaining safety cautions and operating instructions.
Glass Tray
1. DO NOT operate the oven without the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in place.
2. DO NOT operate the oven without the Glass Tray fully engaged on the drive
hub. Improper cooking or damage to the oven could result. Verify that the
Glass Tray is properly engaged and rotating by observing its rotation when you
touch Start. Note: The Glass Tray can turn in either direction.
3. Use only the Glass Tray specifically designed for this oven. DO NOT substitute
any other glass tray.
4. If the Glass Tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water.
5. DO NOT cook directly on the Glass Tray. Always place food in a microwave
safe dish, on a rack set in a microwave safe dish.
6. If food or utensils on the Glass Tray touch oven walls, causing the tray to stop
moving, the tray will automatically rotate in the opposite direction.

Defrosting Tips & Techniques
Preparation for freezing:
1. Freeze meats, poultry, and fish 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 page 19.
3. Rinse foods as indicated in the chart.
4. Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer tand 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 centers be very
careful. Certain foods have centers made
with sugar, water, or fat and these centers
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 center.
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 fire
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 center 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 build 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 muffins, 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.

F0003BR11CP_Eng.indd 27 2017/12/20 9:26:15
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
foil. Arcing can occur if foil is too close to oven
wall or door and damage to your oven will
result.
is to be exercised when using
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 center and the less cooked
center 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
center and pieces from the center 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 insure even cooking, these food 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 center 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 fibers. Chicken is done when juices
are clear yellow and drumstick moves freely.
Fish is done when it flakes 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, fish, seafood, egg
dishes and frozen prepared food.
74 °C (165 °F) ...for leftover, ready-to-re-
heat 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.

These things are normal:
The oven causes
interference with my
TV.
Some radio, TV, Wi-Fi, cordless telephone, baby monitor,
blue tooth or other wireless equipment 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, blow dryers, etc. It does not
indicate a problem with your oven.
Steam accumulates
on the oven door and
warm air comes from
the oven vents.
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. After use, the oven should be
wiped dry (see page 10).
The oven is not plugged in
securely.
Remove plug from outlet, wait
10 seconds and re-insert.
