Cooking in your microwave oven
Be sure to read the Cooking Guide packed with the microwave oven. It contains
information about:
l
What microwave energy is.
l
How food is cooked by microwave energy.
0 What affects cooking speed and cooking evenness.
0 Safety tips
0 Utensils to use when cooking in a microwave oven.
0 Cooking times for different foods
Important things to remember to get the best cooking results.
l
ALWAYS cook food for the minimum recommended cooking time. If necessary, add
time in one or two minute periods, then check for doneness to avoid overcooking the
food.
l
Stir, turn or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time
for most even doneness with all recipes.
l
If a glass cover is not available, use waxpaper, paper towels or Saran” Wrap.Turn back
a corner to vent steam during cooking.
l
When using mrcrowave recipes from cookbooks or sources other than the
Cooking Guide, slightly longer cooking times will be needed for those recipes calling
for “HIGH” or “FULL” cook power. For example, add 1 to 2 minutes to a 5 minute cooking
time. Cooking ttmes at settings less than “HIGH” (such as “Cook Power 7” or “MEDIUM”)
would not need any adjustment.
Cooking in one cycle
The oven door can be opened any time during operation; the oven will automatically
stop cooking and maintain the time setting, for up to 5 minutes, until the door is closed and
the START Pad is touched

2 Touch numbers for new time.
3. Touch START.
The COOK 1 cycle will start cooking for the new time.
Defrosting and cooking at lower cook powers
For best results, some recipes call for lower Cook Powers. The Lower the Cook Power, the
slower the cooking. Each Number Pad on your microwave oven stands for a different
percentage of Cook Power (IO%, 50%, SO%, etc.). Many recipes in your Cooking Guide
tell you, by name, which Cook Power to use. Recipes in other books and magazines
may tell you by number (5,6, 7, etc.).
The following chart gives you the percentage of Cook Power each Number Pad stands
for, and Cook Power name generally used.

9 90% of full power
