UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN COOKWARE GUIDE Microwave Cooking Most heat-resistant, nonmetallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test cookware before using, follow these steps: e Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies, or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a light, tender crust. ¢ Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the 1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven. cleanability of glass. 2. Measure 1 cup (250 mi) of 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. Combination Cooking » Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are recommended. Do not use items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven rack, damaging the cookware, the rack, or the oven. * Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to Convection Cooking 450°F (230°C) may be used, but is not recommended * Metal pans are recommended for all types of baked for foods that require crusting or all-around browning, уу products, but especially where browning or crusting because plastic is a poor conductor of heat. pd is important.

Foods cooked a shorter time can be brushed with a browning agent, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or barbecue sauce. COVERING A cover traps heat and steam and causes the food to cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap with one corner folded back to vent the excess steam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot during cooking. Handle carefully. Waxed paper will prevent the food from splattering in the oven and help retain heat. When warming bread items, use waxed paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in paper towels. SPACING Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes, and hors d'oeuvres in a circle and at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) apart. This will help the food cook more evenly. STIRRING Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in foods. Always stir from the outside toward the center of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first. TURNING Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should be turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Also turn over chicken pieces and chops. CLEANING Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. This should be done weekly or 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 splatters with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon. REMOVABLE PARTS The metal rack, glass turntable and turntable roller rest are removable. They should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning powders, steel wool, or rough pads. 10 ARRANGEMENT Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish for more even cooking. Because dense foods cook more slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables toward the outside of the dish. TESTING FOR DONENESS Because foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, you need to test frequently for doneness. STANDING TIME Depending on density, food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes either in or outside of the oven after cooking power shuts off. Outside of the oven, you usually need to cover food during standing time to retain heat. Remove most foods when they are slightly undercooked and they will finish cooking during standing time. The internal temperature of food will rise about 10°F (6°C) during standing time. SHIELDING To prevent some portions of rectangular or square dishes from overcooking, you may need to shield them with small strips of aluminum foil to block the microwaves. You can also cover poultry legs and wing tips with foil to keep them from overcooking. Always keep foil at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) from the oven walls to prevent arcing. PIERCING Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods before cooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods that require piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hot dogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such as potatoes and squash. * Removable parts may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause them to break during use. e The glass turntable may also be cleaned in a dishwasher. e The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly. SPECIAL CARE For best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food or grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; then rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or rough pads. After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR to clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel.

TT a G) C u т 19 USING YOUR CONVECTION OVEN TIPS FOR CONVECTION COOKING This section gives you cooking instructions and procedures for operating each convection function. Please read these instructions carefully. Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly, creating even browning and sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces. Your oven uses convection cooking whenever you use the Convection button. DO NOT USE THE OVEN WITHOUT THE TURNTABLE IN PLACE. 1. Always use the metal rack on the turntable when convection cooking. 2. Do not cover the turntable or metal rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that cooks the food. 3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items. Choose pans that do not have extended handles. 4. Use convection cooking for items like souffiés, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and for some meat and fish cooking. 5. Your oven comes equipped with a metal tray which can be used for cooking in convection mode or combination mode. 6. You do not need to use any special techniques to adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection cooking; however, in general you need to lower the oven temperature by 25°F (14°C) from the recommended temperature mentioned in package instructions when cooking packaged food in convection mode. 7. When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, or other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheat the empty oven just as you do a regular oven. You can start heavier, dense foods such as meats, casseroles, and poultry without preheating. 8. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking. 9. As in conventional cooking, the distance of the food from the heat source affects cooking results. Refer to the tables in this Use and Care Guide. 10. Use metal utensils only for convection cooking. Never use for microwave or combination cooking since arcing and damage to the oven may occur. 11. After preheating, if you do not open the door, the oven will automatically hold at the preheated temperature for 30 minutes. PRECAUTIONS e The oven cavity, door, turntable, roller rest, metal tray, metal rack, and cooking utensils will become very hot. USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the food, cooking utensils, metal rack, metal tray, and turntable from the oven after convection cooking. * Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic wraps, or paper products during any convection cycle. USING YOUR CONVECTION OVEN AUTO BAKE TABLE AUTO BAKE To automatically bake frozen pizza, muffins, biscuits and frozen French fries using both microwave and convection energy alternately: Example: To bake 6 muffins. o Muffins and biscuits require a preheat cycle and should be placed on the rack after the signal sounds. * Frozen pizza MUST be placed directly on the convection cooking rack. DO NOT use a metal pizza tray or aluminum foil. e Muffins, biscults, and dinner rolis can use metal muffin tins if glass pan is not available. » Breadsticks and frozen French fries can be placed on a small shallow metal pan, such as a tray, if a glass pan is not available. e |f additional information is needed, oven will prompt in display.

Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most convection baking, light, shiny finishes give the best results because they prevent overbrowning in the time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans with dull 3. Dark or nonshiny finishes, glass, and pyroceram absorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts. 4. Preheating the oven is recommended when baking foods by convection. 5. To prevent uneven heating and save energy, open the oven door to check food as little as possible. (satin-finish) bottoms are recommended for cake pans and pie pans for best bottom browning.

Measure the amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a microwave-safe container. The food will heat more evenly if covered with a microwave-safe lid or vented plastic wrap”. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following table as a guide for reheating cooked food. (1/4-inch thick [.63 cm) Cook Time . .

Is there no clock display? Bulb may be burned out, requiring replacement. Set a cook time. Touch START. Check the house circuit safety device. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent? Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty? Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door? No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity. The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through. Why does a tone sound when a pad on the control panel is touched? The tone tells you that the setting has been entered. Can the microwave oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long? Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point that the food creates smoke and even possibly fire and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near the oven while you are cooking. When the oven is plugged into the wall outlet for the first time, it doesn't work properly. What is wrong? The microcomputer controliing your oven may temporarily become scrambied and fail to function as programmed when you plug it in for the first time or when power resumes after a power interruption. Unplug the oven from the 120-volt household outiet and then plug it back in to reset the microcomputer by resetting the clock. Why is there light reflection around the outer case? This light is from the oven light which is located between the oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven. What are the various sounds heard when the microwave oven is operating? The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the microwave oven's magnetron ON and OFF. The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in power the magnetron draws as it is turned ON and OFF by a mechanical switch. The change in blower speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF. 31 m ya O) - 0 и TROUBLESHOOTING Questions and Answers (continued) Food Question Answer What is wrong when baked foods have a | A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking.

To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a wooden toothpick before cooking. CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell. Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same little dry after cooking? recipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be varied for one of these reasons: * Eggs vary in size. * Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator temperature another time. * Eggs continue cooking during standing time. Why do baked apples sometimes burst The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple during cooking? to allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As in conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands during the cooking process. Why do baked potatoes sometimes If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At the end of the burn during cooking? recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm. CAUTION: Do not overcook. Why is a standing time recommended Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few after microwave cooking time is over? minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle ends. The amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods. Why is additional time required for As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects cooking food stored in the refrigerator? total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for food at room temperature. 32 TROUBLESHOOTING BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE You can often correct operating problems yourself.
