INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
•
NEVER use the oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and anticlockwise. See page 9 for complete instructions.
• ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
•
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.
•
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
•
Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones.
•
Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
• In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.
ABOUT FOOD
FOOD
Eggs, Sausages,
Fruits, and Vegetables
DO DON’T
• Cook egg in shells.
• Reheat whole eggs.
Popcorn
Baby food
General
• Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent “explosion”.
• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes.
• Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave oven.
• Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special Popcorn pad.
• Transfer baby food to small dish and heat carefully, stirring often.
Check temperature before serving.
• Put nipples on bottles after heating and shake thoroughly.
“Wrist” test before feeding.
• Cut baked goods with filling after heating to release steam and avoid burns.
• Stir liquids briskly before and after heating to avoid
“eruption”.
• Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to prevent boil-overs.
• Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls.
• Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.
• Heat disposable bottles.
• Heat bottles with nipples on.
• Heat baby food in original jars.
• Heat or cook in closed glass jars or airtight containers.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
•
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
•
Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
•
Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.
•
Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
•
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
•
Add standing time. Remove food from oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time that allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
•
Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached.
•
Doneness signs include:
Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
Poultry thigh joins move easily.
Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
ABOUT SAFETY
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the following recommended temperatures.
TEMP FOOD
160°
165°
...for fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
…for leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out
“fresh” food.
170°
180°
…white meat of poultry.
…dark meat of poultry.
•
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat of bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish’s covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.
•
Stay near the oven while it’s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
•
Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of food-borne bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.
•
Use care when removing items from the oven so that utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.

ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating:
•
Glass ceramic
•
Heat-resistant glass
•
Microwave-safe plastics
•
Paper plates
•
Microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
•
Browning dish
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on
HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.
These items can be used for short time reheating of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:
• wood, straw, wicker
DO NOT USE
•
Metal pans and bake ware
•
Dishes with metallic trim
•
Non-heat-resistant glass
•
Non-microwave-safe plastic
•
Recycled paper bags
•
Food storage bags
•
Metal twist-tie
The following coverings are ideal:
•
Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
•
Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
•
Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO
NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.
•
Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can escape.
How to use aluminum foil in your microwave oven:
• Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly.
•
Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of the oven.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Sunbeam is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.
ABOUT CHILD SAFETY
• Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising person very near to them.
Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.
•
The children must be able to reach the oven comfortably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.
•
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the oven door.
•
Children should be taught all safety precautions; use potholders, remove coverings carefully and pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
•
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
• Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy.

CLEAN AND CARE
Exterior
The outside surface is percolated steel and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.
Door
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
Touch control panel
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in the oven cavity. It is made from mica so requires special care.
Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.
Odor Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of
1 lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power.
Allow to set in oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
Turntable/Turntable Support
The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge as described above. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use upper rack of dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.
Grease filter
Grease Filters
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the fan or oven without the filters in place.
1. Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of the oven and remove the filter. Repeat for the other filter.
2. Soak the filter in a sink or dish pan filled with hot water and detergent. DO NOT use ammonia or other alkali; they will react with the filter material and darken it.
3. Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove embedded dirt.
4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.
Fan
Tab
The fan will automatically start when heat rises from range surface units or burners. This protects the microwave oven from excessive temperature rise. The fan will stay on until the temperature decreases. It cannot be turned off manually during this time.
For other uses, select either HI or LO speed.
