Gettin to Know Your

Microwave Oven

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your oven.

How your microwave oven works

Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it's this heat that cooks

Magnetron the food.

Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light waves. You cannot see them, but you can see what they do.

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven where they contact food as it turns on the turntable.

The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and are absorbed by the food.

oven cavity

Metalfloor Glassturntable

Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does not absorb the energy.

Radio interference

Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:

• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.

• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

• Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.

• Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits.

For the best cooking results

• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking. If needed, touch Add Minute while the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is over (see the "Using add minute" section).

• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all recipes.

This will help make sure the food is evenly cooked.

• If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.

Cookware guide

Most heat resistant, nonmetallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test cookware before using,follow these steps:

1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1 cup (250ml) water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.

3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

Operating safety precautions

• Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open.

• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the heat from the food can make the container hot.

• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven.

• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven.

• Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty. Product life may be shortened. If you practice programming the oven, put a container of water in the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look wavy after the oven has been running for a while.

• Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it allows microwaves to pass through it.

• Do not operate the microwave oven unless the glass turntable is securely in place and can rotate freely. The turntable can rotate in either direction. Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the oven. Handle your turntable with care when removing it from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your turntable cracks or breaks, contact your dealer for a replacement.

• When you use a browning dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least 3/16 inch above the turntable.

Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish.

• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst, and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases, poached eggs have been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into them.

• For best results, stir any liquid several times during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain containers (especially containers shaped like cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm you or damage the microwave oven.

• Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads to the center from the outer, cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the cooking time.

• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.

• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm because they will continue cooking during standing time. After microwaving, let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Amount of food

• If you increase or decrease the amount of food you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a little more than half the original cooking time.

Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in small increments.

Starting temperature of food

• The lower the temperature of the food being put into the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook.

Food at room temperature will be re-heated more quickly than food at refrigerator temperature.

Composition

of food

• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated faster than food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a higher temperature than water in the cooking process.

• The more dense the food, the longer it takes to heat. "Very dense" food like meat takes longer to heat than lighter, more porous food like sponge cakes.

Size and shape

• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger pieces. Also, same shaped pieces cook more evenly than different-shaped pieces.

• With foods that have different thicknesses, the thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker parts.

Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in the center of the dish.

Stirring, turning foods

• Stirring and turning foods spreadsheat quicklyto the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the outer edges of the food.

Covering food

Cover food to:

• Reduce splattering

• Shorten cooking times

• Keep food moist

You can use any covering that lets microwaves pass through. See "Getting to Know Your Microwave

Oven" for materials that microwaves will pass through.

Releasing pressure in foods

• Several foods (forexample:baked potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up under the membrane during cooking, causing the food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.

Using standing time

• Always allow food to stand either in or out of oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to evenly spread throughout the food, improving the cooking results. For inside oven standing time, you can program "0" power sencond stage of the cooking cycle. See Two-Stage Cooking.

• The length of the standing time depends on how much food you are cooking and how dense it is.

Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes you to remove the food from the oven and take it to the serving table. However, with large, denser food item, the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes.

Arranging food

For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You can do this in several ways:

• If you are cooking several items of the same food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking.

• When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the smaller or thinner area of the food towards the center of the dish where it will be heated last.

• Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.

• When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin - this prevents cracking.

• Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.

Arcing is a spark that can cause damage to the oven interior.

Using aluminum foil

Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you have purchased food which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the instructionson the package. When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the top of the food. If you use aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:

MICROWAVE

COOKING

TIPS (CONT.)

Using aluminum foil (cont.)

• Place the container in a glass bowl and add some water so that it covers the bottom of the container, not more than 1/4in, (.64 cm) high, This ensures even heating of the container bottom.

• Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the oven,

• Use only undamaged containers,

• Do not use containers taller than 3/4 in. (1.9 cm),

• Container must be at least half filled,

• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1/4in, (.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the walls of the oven and also between two aluminum containers.

• Always place the container on the turntable,

• Shield with small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg ends of poultry.

• Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually takes up to double the time compared to reheating in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers,

The time when food is ready will vary depending upon the type of container you use,

• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so that heat is spread evenly throughout container.

Cooking you should not do in your microwave oven

• Do not do canning of foods in the oven, Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven,

• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc,), It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization,

The oven will beep during the DEFROST cycle.

At this time, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food.

Remove any portions that have thawed.

Return frozen portions to the oven and touch

START to resume the defrost cycle.

OPERATING TIPS

• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper).

Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.

• For best results, shape your ground meat into the form of a doughnut before freezing.

When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.

• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

This table shows you food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.

DEFROSTING TIPS

• When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds

(the weight of the food minus the container).

• Before starting, make sure you have removed any of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.

• Open containers such as cartons before they are placed in the oven.

• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.

• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a suitable container.

• Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage.

• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.

• Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting.

• The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen.

• The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.

• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.

• For better results, let food stand after defrosting.

(For more information on standing time, see the

"Microwave Cooking Tips" section).

• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.

Break apart and remove food as required.

HOLD WARM

You can safely keep hot, cooked food warm in your microwave oven for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds

(about 1 hour, 40 minutes). You can use Hold Warm by itself, or to automatically follow a cooking cycle.

Example: To use the hold warm.

• While you are touching in cooking instructions, touch Hold Warm before touching START.

• When the last cooking cycle is over, you will hear two tones. "Hold Warm" will come on while the oven continues to run.

• You can set Hold Warm to follow Auto Defrost,

Cook, or two-stage cooking.

NOTES:

• Hold Warm operates for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds.

• Opening the oven door cancels Hold Warm. Close the door and touch Hold Warm, then touch

START if additional Hold Warm time is desired.

• Food cooked covered should be covered during

Hold Warm.

• Pastry items (pies, turnovers, etc.)should be uncovered during Hold Warm.

• Complete meals kept warm on a dinner plate should be covered during Hold Warm.

• Do not use more than one complete Hold Warm cycle (about 1 hour, 40 minutes). The quality of some foods will suffer with extended time.

Using Sensor Cooking

SENSOR COOKING

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item. When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The display will show the remaining heating time. For best results by Sensor, following these recommendations.

• Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature.

• Glass Tray and outside of container should be dry to assure best cooking results.

• Foods should always be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper or a lid.

• Do not open the door or touch the "STOP/Clear" key during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps twice and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn or rearrange the food.

SENSOR COOKING

GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good Sensor cooking results.

• Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plasticwrap.

• Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

• Match the amount to the size of the container.

Fill containers at least half full for best results.

• Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

POTATO (EXAMPLE)

Sensor cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.

Caring for Your Microwave Oven

To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully.

For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy

water and a sponge or soft cloth.

Use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or a mild detergent. Be sure to keep the areas clean where the door and oven frame touch when closed. Wipe well

with clean cloth.

Over time, stains can occur on the surfaces as the result of food particles spattering during cooking. This is normal.

For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven, boil a cup of water with some lemon juice or vinegar in it.

To clean turntable and turntable support, wash in mild, sudsy water; for

Glass turntable heavily soiled areas use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. The turntable and turntable support are dishwasher safe.

\support

For exterior surfaces and control panel: Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner. Apply the spray glass cleaner to the soft cloth; do not spray directly on the oven.

NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper age the control panel and the oven surfaces.

QUESTIONS

Can I operate my microwave oven without the turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a large dish?

Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave oven?

Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?

Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears wavy. Is this normal?

What are the humming noises that I hear when my microwave oven is operating?

What does "standingtime" mean?

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?

How do I get the best results?

ANSWERS

No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the turntable.

You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is not taller than 3/4 in. [1.9 cm] deep and is filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door.

Yes. The turntable reverses rotation each time the microwave oven door is opened and closed.

This helps cook food evenly.

This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.

You may hear the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on.

As the food becomes hot itwill conduct the heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to remove food after cooking.

"Standing time" means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time to allow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking.

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the vents.

Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer's guidelines. Do not use regular paper bags.

Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.
