Cooking Instructions

Cooking Utensils

Recommended Use

• Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes -- Use for heating or
cooking.

• Microwavable browning dish -- Use to brown the exterior of small
items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions
provided with your browning dish.

• Microwavable plastic wrap-- Use to retain steam. Leave a small
opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on ®

the food.

• Wax paper-- Use as a cover to prevent spattering.

• Paper towels and napkins -- Use for short-term heating and
covering; they absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do
not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can

catch fire.

• Paper plates and cups -- Use for short-term heating at low
temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal

and can catch fire.

• Thermometers -- Use only those labeled "Microwave Safe" and

follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional

thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from
the oven.

Limited Use

• Aluminum foil -- Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of
exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be
careful.

• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware-- Use these if they are
labeled "Microwave Safe". If they are not labeled, test them to make

sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.

• Plastic -- Use only if labeled "Microwave Safe". Other plastics can
melt. •

• Straw, wicker, and wood -- Use only for short-term heating, as
they can be flammable.

Not Recommended

• Glass jars and bottles -- Regular glass is too thin to be used in a
microwave, and can shatter.

• Paper bags -- These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that
are designed for microwave use.

• Styrofoam plates and cups -- These can melt and leave an
unhealthy residue on food.

• Plastic storage and food containers -- Containers such as
margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.

• Metal utensils -- These can damage your oven. Remove all metal
before cooking.

Testing Utensils

If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can
perform this test:

1 Fill a 1 cup glass measuring cup with water and put it inside your

oven, next to the dish you want to test.

2 Press the One Minute + button once to heat them for one minute at

High power.

The water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool. If
the dish iswarm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not
acceptable for use in the microwave.

Cooking Instructions

Cooking Techniques

Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute
heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and
heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will

turn off when you open the door to stir your food.

Arrangement

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with ®
the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they

receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or

delicate parts toward the center of the turntable.

Shielding

Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.

Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry

legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of
aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.

Turning

Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to

microwave energy. This is especially important with large items such as
roasts.

Standing

Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to
cook for a few minutes after the oven stops. Let foods stand to complete

cooking, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts
need this time to complete cooking inthe center without overcooking the

outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken
or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before

serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the temperature

before serving.

Adding Moisture °

Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven
in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the

heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water todry food to help it
cook.

General Tips

• Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter

foods. Foods with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power

level to avoid becoming tough.

• Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking
time. When using a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and
check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking.

• Foods with a non-porous skin or shell, such as potatoes, eggs, or hot
dogs, should be pierced to prevent bursting.

• Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended. Fat and oil can
suddenly boil over and cause severe burns.

• Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly
inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in

mind to avoid burns.

• Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because
all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating

process.

• Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat is often
transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing

food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same.

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 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 ¼ cup 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 wilt cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time.

• 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 before

cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served
immediately.

After each stage, turn the food over and
shield anywarm portions with narrow
strips of aluminum foil.

After each stage, rearrange the food. If
there are any warm orthawed portions of

food. shield them with narrow flat pieces

of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of
food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand
covered, for 5-10 m nutes.

After each stage, remove any pieces of
food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand
covered with foil, for 5-10 minutes.

Remove giblets before freezing poultry.

Start defrosting with the breast side
down. After the first stage, turn the

chicken over and shield any warm
portions with narrow strips of aluminum

foil. After the second stage, again shield
any warm portions with narrow strips of

aluminum foi. Let stand, covered, for
30-60 minutes in the refrigerator.

After each stage, rearrange or remove
any pieces of food that are nearly
defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.

Notes

Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections
may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until
all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small
pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the

food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to

cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.

Appendix

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 wall switch, make sure the wall switch
isturned on.

• Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug itin
again, e

• 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 Cancel 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" _:_B " 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.

Care and Cleaning

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 tess 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. 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 a cup of water

in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.
