A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which reflect off
the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable
and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted
to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food,
causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks
the food.
• Do not lean on or allow children to swing on the oven door.
• Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.
• The turntable must be in place and correct side up when
oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken.
See "Assistance or Service" section to reorder.
• Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in
microwave oven.
• Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including
brown paper bags and newspaper should not be dried in
microwave oven.
• Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or
deep frying. The oven cannot maintain appropriate
temperatures.
• Paraffin wax will not melt in the oven because it does not
absorb microwaves.
• Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from
microwave oven.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended
cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes
stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
• Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover
poached eggs and allow a standing time.
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting
temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking
results.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time. Check
for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.
Starting Temperature
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods,
and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.
Composition and Density
Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature and
heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat
and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a
light, porous food, such as cake.
Covering
Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and
reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is
not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved
for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned
back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam.
Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during
heavy cooking.
Stirring and Turning
Stirring and turning redistributes heat evenly to avoid
overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center.
If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.
Arranging
If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, the thinner
parts and smaller sizes should be arranged toward the center. If
cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in
a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.
Piercing
Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods
that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks,
chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to
allow steam to vent.
Shielding
Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of
irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken
wings, leg tips and fish tail. See "Aluminum Foil and Metal" first.
Size and Shape
Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces,
and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly
shaped food.
Standing Time
Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even
after the microwave cycle ends. The length of standing time
depends on the volume and density of the food.
C_ 4 (_-_ ............... i ¸ _,_-:,-, _ :_
Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use
oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may
become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use
cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the
following chart as a guide, then test before using.
MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Aluminum Foil, See "Aluminum Foil and Metal" section.
Metal
• Always use the turntable.
• Do not allow contact with another metal object during
cooking.

Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the
water stays cool.
Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from
the microwave oven.
Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the oven. If not
used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause
damage to the oven.
OK for Use
Racks and bakeware supplied with the oven (on some models),
aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers
may be used with the following guidelines:
• Do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity
walls, ceiling or floor.

To Use Sensor Cooking:
Before using, make sure the microwave oven has been plugged
in for at least 3 minutes, the room temperature is not above 95°F
(35°C) and the outside of the container and microwave oven
cavity are dry.
1. Touch one of the SENSOR food pads.
The microwave oven will automatically turn on. While the
cooking time is being estimated, "SENSE" will appear in the
display. Then the SENSOR set time counts down on the

When the cycle ends, "END" will appear in the display, and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder
tones.

and/or stop reminder tones.
The cook time (except POPCORN) can be changed for
20 seconds after touching a pad.
