(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result

in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the

safety interlocks.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner

residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door

closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) DOOR (bent)

(2) HINGES AND LATCHES (broken or loosened)
(3) DOOR SEALS AND SEALING SURFACES

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service

personnel.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:

WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury

to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

.... ;

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2,

Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS
TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" on the

previous page.

3. As with most cooking appliances, close
supervision is necessary to reduce the risk of a
fire in the oven cavity.

If a fire should start:

• Keep the oven door closed

• Turn the oven off, and

• Disconnect the power cord or shut off power at

the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Keep in mind the following rules at all times:

a.

Do not overcook foods. Carefully attend the
appliance if paper, plastic, or other combustible

materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.

b,

Do not use the cavity for storage purposes.
Do not store combustible items such as bread,

cookies, paper products, etc. inside the oven. If

lightning strikes the power line, the oven may

turn on by itself.

c. Do not use wire twist-ties in the oven. Be sure

to inspect purchased items for wire twist-ties
and remove before placing them in the oven.

6,

Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers -- for example water with oil or fat

and closed glass jars-- may explode and

therefore should not be heated in this oven.

7,

Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in the manual. Do not use corrosive

chemicals or vapors in this appliance.
This type of oven is specifically designed to

heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use.

_k DANGER - Electric Shock Hazard

Do not disassemble this appliance. Touching
some of the internal components, even if the
appliance is unplugged, can result in electric

shock that can cause serious personal injury
or death.

This appliance must be grounded. If there is an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk

of electric shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord that has a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Properly polarized and
grounded outlet

Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding

instructions are not completely understood as to

whether the appliance is properly grounded.

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce
the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over

a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used

with following precautions:

• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be equal to or higher
than the electrical rating of the appliance.

• The extension cord must be a grounding type
3-wire cord.

• Longer cord should be arranged so that it will

not drape over the countertop or tabletop

where it can be pulled on by children or tripped

over accidentally.

The electrical power cord must be kept dry and

must not be pinched or crushed in any way.

_ WARNING - Electric Shock Hazard

Improper use of the grounding plug can result
in electric shock.

Advantages of microwave cooking are speed

and efficiency. For warming, heating, and
defrosting, nothing compares. There are a few

tips that will make microwaving easier and

more enjoyable.
Microwave Cooking Principles

Because microwave cooking requires only
one-quarter to one-third the time of

conventional cooking, the same cooking

principles become even more important.

Quantity
The more food being cooked, the longer you
will have to cook it. As a general rule, when
doubling a recipe, increase the cooking time

by about 50 percent. When cutting a recipe in
half, reduce the time by about 40 percent.

Density
Dense foods, such as potatoes, roasts and

carrots, absorb microwave energy less quickly

than porous foods such as ground beef or

mashed potatoes. Therefore, denser foods take
longer to cook.

Shape and Size
Small pieces cook faster than large ones. For
even cooking, it is important to have all the

pieces the same size. Evenly shaped pieces,
round or doughnut shaped, microwave best.
When cooking items of varying thickness,
arrange the thick portion near the outer edge

of the dish.

Moisture, Sugar and Fat
Food high in moisture, sugar or fat cook faster

than foods that are low in these substances.
Add a minimum of liquid to moist foods. An

excess amount of water slows cooking.

Starting Temperature
Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to

microwave than food at room temperature.

Microwave Cooking Techniques
Arranging: Arrange foods in a circular pattern,

when possible.
Piercing: Pierce the membrane of foods such
as eggs, oysters, snails, sausages, livers,

clams and whole vegetables, so they do not
burst.

Covering: Covering speeds heating and
prevents spattering.
Stirring:To help food cook more quickly and
evenly.

Turning Over: To help larger foods such as

roasts or whole chickens cook more evenly.
Reheating: Place food that is denser/larger/

thicker to the outer edge and the
smaller/thinner or more porous food to the

center.

Shielding: To prevent overcooking, thin or
bony areas can be protected with small strips

of aluminum foil.

Standing Time: Foods continue cooking even
after removal from the oven. Standing time is

necessary to allow foods to complete cooking.

Defrosting

The microwave's ability to defrost is one of its

most appreciated features. Many of the same
principles and techniques that apply to

microwave cooking also apply to microwave
defrosting.

Converting Recipes

Microwave recipes will likely call for less liquid
and cooking time.

Microwave Thermometers
For best results, a microwave-safe

thermometer can be carefully and properly
inserted into the food. The guide to internal
temperatures gives suggested thermometer

readings for meat and poultry. Keep in mind

that standing time is essential for most food to

reach its proper serving temperature.

Delicate Ingredients
Some foods require special attention when

cooked in the microwave oven. Delicate foods

"such as eggs, cheese, mayonnaise, etc. cook

so quickly, they should be watched carefully.

PREPARATION
Use a microwave-safe baking dish, casserole,

etc. to cook meat, poultry and fish.
Frozen meat, poultry and fish should be

completely thawed.
Wash poultry and fish in cool water.

Arrange small items in a single layer in dish
and avoid overlapping edges of food.

Place thick sections toward edge of the dish.
Use a rack in the dish to elevate meat out of

the juices.

Use spices and seasonings as desired.

Add salt after cooking if necessary.

Kitchen bouquet with butter may be used to
obtain "cooked" color of meats and poultry.
Aluminum foils can be used to cover thin parts

of meat or poultry wings and legs to prevent

overcooking. Foils should be applied toward
the end of cooking time. Place meat fat side

down.

COOKING

Use wax paper or plastic wrap to stop

splattering.
Turn over or rearrange meat, poultry and fish

halfway through cooking time.

CHECKING DONENESS
Beef: The color inside meat indicates

doneness. Rare roast should be red inside.

Medium is pink and gray indicates well done.
Pork: Cooked pork meat should be gray with

clear juice.

Poultry: Juices should be clear yellow when

cooked. Legs should move freely.
Fish and Seafood: Should be opaque in color
and flake easily.

To check internal temperature of various

meats and poultry, use a microwave or

conventional meat thermometer after

removing meat from the oven. Insert the

thermometer avoiding bone or fat. Lower
temperatures are found in the center of the

roast or in the muscle close to a large bone.
Never use a conventional meat thermometer

in the microwave oven.

Return undercooked food to oven for a short
period of time at the recommended power

level. Let stand as recommended in chart.
Cover roasts and whole poultry during stand

time.

Converting Recipes
When adapting quick bread recipes, you will
find it necessary to reduce the amount of

leavening (baking powder or soda) by about
one-quarter the normal amount. A bitter
aftertaste is apparent if too much leavening is

used in biscuits or muffins. Since food rises

higher in the microwave oven, you will not see

a loss in volume from the reduction of soda or

baking powder.

If a recipe contains buttermilk or sour cream,

do not change the amount of soda, since it

serves to counteract the sour taste and does

not act only as a leavening agent.

Cooking/Reheating Guide

Whel

I using a mix where leavening cannot be

redu(

:ed, allow the dough to stand about 10

minu

tes before cooking in order for some of
asto be lost.

the g

Brea_

is and rolls should be reheated only until
ire warm to the touch. Overheating or

they

over¢ookinq makes bread tough and rubbery.

3PERATION

FOODS

:3. What is wrong when the oven light will not

glow?

_,. There may be several reasons why the oven

light will not glow.

• The light bulb has burned out.

• START has not been touched.

r). Why is steam corrfing out of the air exhaust

vent?

A. Steam is normally produced during cooking.

The microwave oven has been made to vent
this steam.

Q. Can the microwave oven be damaged if it

operates empty?

A. Yes. Never operate while empty or without the

turntable positioned correctly on the roller rest.

Q. When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for

the first time, it might not work properly. What

is wrong?

A. When the oven is plugged in for the first time

or when power resumes after a power
interruption, the microcomputer used in the
oven control may temporarily become
scrambled and fail to function as programmed.
Unplug the oven from the wall outlet and then
plug it back in. The microcomputer will then
reset for proper functioning.

Q. Why do I see light reflection around the outer

case?

A. This light is from the oven light located outside

the oven cavity.

Q. Why is there noise coming from the turntable

when the oven is turned on?

A. This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest

and cavity bottom are dirty. Frequent cleaning
of these parts should eliminate or reduce the

noise.

Q. Instructions for aluminum foil use are

confusing. When should I use foil?

A. It should be used to shield portions of food

from becoming overcooked or overdefrosted.

Use small flat pieces of foil for shielding.
(Refer to page 8)

Q. What is wrong when baked foods have a hard,

dry, brown spot?

A. This is caused by overcooking. Shorten

cooking or reheating time.

e.

Why do eggs sometimes pop?

A.

The egg yolk may pop because of steam
build-up inside the membrane. To prevent this,
simply pierce the membrane with a toothpick
before cooking it.

CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell

since they may explode.

Q. Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry

after cooking?

A. Eggs dry out if they are overcooked. You may

need to vary the cooking time for one of these
reasons:

• Eggs vary in size.

• Eggs are at room temperature one time and at
refrigerator temperature another time.

• The shapes of utensils vary, which makes it
necessary to vary cooking time.

• Eggs continue cooking during standing time.

e.

What is wrong when three potatoes bake
thoroughly and the fourth one is still not

cooked?

A.

The fourth potato may be slightly heavier than
the others and should be cooked 30 to 60

seconds longer. Remember to allow one inch
(2.5 cm) around each potato when baking. For
more even cooking, place potatoes in a circle.

Q. Why do baked apples sometimes burst during

cooking?

A. As in regular cooking methods, steam is

formed in the interior of the apple, causing it to
swell and expand during the cooking process.

a.

How are boil-overs avoided?

A.

Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If
you open the oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR,
the food will stop boiling.

Q. Why does the dish become hot when I

microwave food in it?

A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the

heat into the dish. Use oven mitts to remove

food after cooking.

28

Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth
and a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe

dry. This should be done on a weekly basis- more
often if needed. Never use cleaning powders or
rough pads. Excessive oil splatters on the inside
top will be difficult to remove if left for many days.
Wipe spatters with a wet paper towel, especially

after cooking chicken or bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS

The following parts may be removed as described.
They should be washed in warm (not hot) water

with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they
are clean, rinse them well and dry with a soft cloth.
Never use cleaning powders, steel wool or rough
pads.

• The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be
careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this
may cause the turntable to break during use.

• The turntable roller rest should be cleaned
regularly.

La funcion de cocinado con
sensor automatico/recalentado
permite la operacion de acceso

directo para varias comidas.
Se incorporan cinco cursos de

cocinado.

AI principio de un periodo de
cocinado, el sensor mide et

vapor generado por la comida
en el homo con el fin de

determinar el tiempo correcto de
cocinado y el nivel de potencia.

Consulte las paginas 15-18 para
ver mas informaci6n sobre el

cocinado con sensor y las
recetas de muestra.

Consejos para el cocinado:

• Cubra la comida con envuelta
de plastico, papel encerado o

con una tapa de cacerola que

se adapte bien. Las cubiertas

que no cierran bien pueden

hacer que el horno calcule

erroneamente el tiempo de
cocinado. (No emplee nunca

recipientes de plastico
hermeticos.)

• Las cantidades peque_as de

comidas (menos de 4 oz 6

115 g) nunca deben cocinarse
usando el sensor automatico.

Cocinelas con el cocinado por
tiempo.

• La temperatura de la sala

debe ser de menos de 95°1:
(35°C).

• Mantenga secos el interior del
homo, la bandeja rotativa y el

exterior de los recipientes de
cocinado. Frote todo Io que

se haya derramado.
La humedad excesiva en el

homo puede causar un
calculo incorrecto del tiempo

de cocinado.

• No abra la puerta del horno
mientras el visualizador

todavia muestre el numero

del curso seleccionado al
principio del cocinado.

Durante este periodo, el

sensor del homo mida la
cantidad de vapor en el homo

para determinar el tiempo de

cocinado, que aparece en el
visualizador cuando se

completa e proceso.

Este metodo basico para cocinar
con el homo de microondas

permite cocinar la comida por el
tiempo deseado.

Aparte del nivet de potencia
maxima, HI POWER se puede

seleccionar de 9 niveles de

poder, 1 (10% de la potencia

total) hasta 9 (90% de la

potencia total) para las comidas
que requieren ser cocinadas

mas lentamente.
El homo tiene tambien el nivel

de potencia 0 (sin potencia) para
poder utilizar el reloj como
temmporizador de minutos.

Para mas detalles, consulte la

pagina 41.

Comidas con altas cantidades de

humedad deben de ser

cocinadas con la maxima

potencia y que este es el modo
mas r_fipido y mantiene mejor la

textura y sabor de las comidas.

Para comprobar el nivel de

potencia mientras el homo este

en uso, simplemente oprima

POWER LEVEL.
El nivel de potencia aparece en

la ventanilla de indicaciones.

Descongelando Manualmente

Para descongelar manualmente
(sin usar las funciones del

descongelador automatico)
