NOTE
Check food when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections may still be icy.
Let them stand to continue thawing. Food is not fully defrosted until all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.

Cookware guide
To cook food in your microwave oven, microwaves must be able to penetrate the food without being reflected or absorbed by the dish.
It is important to choose the correct cookware, therefore look for cookware that is marked microwave-safe.
The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates if and how they should be used in a microwave oven.
Recommended cooking utensils
• Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes
— Use for heating or cooking.
• Microwavable plastic wrap — Use to cover.
Leave a small opening for steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
•
Wax paper —
Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
• Paper towels and napkins — Use for shortterm heating and covering. They absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering.
Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can catch fire.
• Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and can catch fire.
• Thermometers — Use only those labeled
“Microwave Safe” and follow all directions.
Check the food in several places.
Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven.
Limited use items
• Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas.
Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful.
• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe”.
If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.
•
Plastic —
Use only if labeled “Microwave
Safe”. Other plastics can melt.
• Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, as they are flammable.
Not recommended
•
Glass jars and bottles —
Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave and can shatter.
• Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.
• Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
• Plastic storage and food containers —
Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.

Cookware guide
Testing utensils
If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can perform this test:
1.
Fill a 1 cup glass measuring cup with water and put it inside your oven, next to the dish you want to test.
2.
Set the microwave to 1 minute using the numeric buttons, and then press the
START button. This will heat the glass and dish for one minute at High power.
When the microwave stops, the water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool.
If the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not acceptable for use in the microwave.
60 English
MC17J8000CS_AA _DE68-04224C-01_EN.indd 60 2015-11-26 �� 4:07:03
Cooking guide
Microwave energy actually penetrates food and is attracted to and absorbed by the water, fat, and sugar molecules in the food. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food.
Cooking techniques
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly.
Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.
Arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or delicate parts toward the center of the turntable.
Shielding
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and the corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.
Turning
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially important with large items such as roasts.
Standing
Food cooked in the microwave builds up internal heat and continues to cook for a few minutes after the oven stops. Let food stand to complete cooking, especially food such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas.
All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the temperature before serving.
Adding Moisture
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
Venting
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.

Cooking guide
Recommended cooking utensils
• Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter foods. Food with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power level to prevent it from becoming tough.
• Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking time. When trying a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking.
• Food with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot dogs should be pierced to prevent bursting.
• Frying with oil or fat is not recommended.
Fat and oil can suddenly boil over and cause severe burns.
• Some ingredients heat faster than others.
For example, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough.
Keep this in mind to avoid burns.
• Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating process.
• Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat from the food is often transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same.
• Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can heat to very high temperatures. Keep this in mind to avoid injury.
Guide for cooking eggs in your microwave
• Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell. They can explode.
• Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
• Cook eggs just until set. They become tough if overcooked.
Guide for cooking vegetables in your microwave
• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed.
If you are cooking dense vegetables such as cubed potatoes, carrots, or green beans, add about ¼ cup water.
• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.
• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash, or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time.
• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.
• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
• Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time.
• Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes before cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.

Cleaning and maintaining your microwave oven
Keeping your microwave oven clean improves its performance, wards off unnecessary repairs, and lengthens its life.
Cleaning the exterior
It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your microwave oven as they occur. Use a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
CAUTION
Do not get water into the vents. Never use abrasive products or chemical solvents such as ammonia or alcohol as they can damage the appearance of your microwave.
WARNING
Unplug the microwave plug before cleaning.
Cleaning under your microwave oven
Regularly clean grease and dust from the bottom of your microwave using a solution of warm water and detergent.
Cleaning the control panel
NOTE
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when you operate the oven when humidity is high and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
Cleaning the interior
CAUTION
To avoid injury, ensure that the microwave oven has cooled down before cleaning it.
CAUTION
Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
See the Steam Clean section on page 22.
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives, or sharp objects on the panel as it is easily damaged.
Cleaning the door and door seals
Cleaning the turntable and roller rings
Clean the roller rings periodically and wash the turntable as required. The turntable can be washed safely in your dishwasher.
Always ensure that the door seals are clean and that the door closes properly. Take particular care when cleaning the door seals to ensure that no particles accumulate and prevent the door from closing correctly.
Wash the glass door with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
