General Use

1 Do NOT attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to door, control panel or any other part of the oven. Do NOT remove outer panel from oven. Repairs should only be done by qualified service personnel.

2 Do NOT operate the oven empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy.

Utensils

METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic rims should not be used. Arcing may occur.

METAL TWIST-TIES may not be used in the microwave oven.

Do NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW

NECK bottles for cooking or reheating. They may shatter.

If a fire occurs in the oven, touch the

Stop/Clear button and LEAVE THE DOOR

CLOSED. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Do NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.

Do NOT use recycled paper products.

Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may ignite.

Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded on the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

Avoid inserting nails, wire, etc. through any holes in the unit during operation. Never insert a wire, nail or any other metal objects through the holes on the cavity or any other holes or

Food

Do NOT use CONVENTIONAL THER-

MOMETERS in the microwave oven. They may cause arcing.

Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS before cooking or defrosting foods in the oven.

For FURTHER INFORMATION on proper cooking utensils, refer to the COOKING

GUIDE on page 17.

Never use your microwave oven for HOME

CANNING. The oven is not designed to permit proper canning. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.

COOKING TIMES given in the cooking guide are approximate. Factors that may affect cooking are starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of food and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN

OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum cooking times.

SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with

LOW MOISTURE content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long.

7 POPCORN must be popped in a microwave corn popper. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping. Do not use oven for popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn utensil or unless it’s commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.

Do NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build up and the eggs may explode.

Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acorn squash and sausage are some examples of foods with NONPOROUS SKINS. These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.

Do NOT attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.

HEATED LIQUIDS can ERUPT if not mixed with air. Do not heat liquids in your microwave oven without first stirring.

Do NOT use paper towels to cover food as they can ignite.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a three blade grounding plug, and a three slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

INSTALLATION

Steady, flat location: When positioning the microwave oven, it should be set on a steady, flat surface.

Ventilation: DO NOT BLOCK AIR VENTS.

If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause oven failure. For proper ventilation, KEEP THREE INCHES OF SPACE BETWEEN

THE OVEN'S TOP, SIDES, REAR AND THE AREA WHERE THE UNIT IS TO BE INSTALLED.

Radio and TV reception: Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, radio, antenna, or antenna wire. Position the oven as far from them as possible.

Temperature and moisture: Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or splashing liquids when choosing a place to locate it, otherwise, the unit’s operation may be adversely affected, causing it to break down.

Power supply:

• Check your local power source. This microwave oven requires a 120V, 60Hz ,15Amp power supply.

• Use a receptacle that will accept the ground prong.

(a) A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

(b) Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

(c) If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

6. Examine the oven for any damage such as: Dents, a misaligned door, broken door or a dent in the cavity. If any of the above are visible, DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT. Notify the dealer immediately.

When using a grounding adapter, make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.

COOKING GUIDE

THE PRINCIPLES OF MICROWAVE COOKING

Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio including AM, FM and

CB. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube. From the magnetron tube, microwave energy is transmitted to the oven where it is reflected, transmitted and absorbed by the food.

Reflection: Microwaves are reflected by metal just as a ball is bounced off of a wall. For this reason, metal utensils are not suitable for use in the microwave. A combination of stationary interior walls and a rotating metal turntable or stirrer fan helps assure that the microwaves are well distributed within the oven cavity to produce even cooking.

Transmission: Microwaves pass through some materials such as paper, glass and plastic much like sunlight shining through a window. Because these substances do not absorb or reflect the microwave energy, they are ideal materials for microwave oven cooking containers.

Absorption: During cooking, microwaves will be absorbed by food. They penetrate to a depth of about 3/4 to 1 1/2 inches. Microwave energy activates the molecules in the food (especially water, fat and sugar) and heat is produced.

If you vigorously rub your hands together, you will feel heat produced by friction. The internal cooking of larger foods is done by conduction as the heat which is produced by friction is conducted to the middle of the food. Foods also continue to cook by conduction during standing time.

FOOD CHARACTERISTICS

Quantity: The amount of food placed in a microwave oven has a direct effect on the cooking time. Small amounts of food or liquid require less cooking time than larger amounts of the same substance. As quantity increases, concentration decreases.

Size: Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than two inches (5 cm), so microwaves can penetrate to the middle from all sides. Pieces which are similar in size and shape cook more evenly.

Shape: Many foods are uneven, like a chicken, ribs or broccoli. The thin parts will cook faster than the thick parts, while uniformly thick foods cook evenly. To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin pieces toward the center of the dish and thicker pieces toward the edge of the dish.

Starting Temperature: Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to cook than foods at room temperature.

Bone and Fat : Because bones conduct heat, the side of the meat the bone is on will cook first, while boneless cuts cook slower but more evenly. Fat attracts microwaves. The middle of these foods is cooked by heat conduction.

Moisture Content: Microwaves are attracted by moisture. Naturally moist foods absorb microwaves better than dry ones. Add a minimum of liquid to moist foods, as excess water slows cooking.

Density: The density of food determines how easily the microwaves can penetrate and how quickly it will cook.

Porous foods, like chopped beef or mashed potatoes, microwave faster than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes.

Piercing: Steam builds up pressure in foods which are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent bursting.

MICROWAVE TECHNIQUES

Stirring: Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking to equalize heat and speed microwaving.

Foods will not burn or stick, so there’s no need to stir constantly as you do in conventional cooking.

Arrangement: Arrange foods with thin or delicate ends, like drumsticks or asparagus spears, with the thick or tougher portions to the outside of the dish. The parts which need more cooking will receive more energy, so food will microwave evenly.

Spacing: Individual foods, such as baked potatoes and cupcakes will cook more evenly if placed in the oven an equal distance apart. When possible, arrange foods in a circular pattern. Similarly, when placing foods in a baking dish, arrange around the outside of the dish, not lined up next to each other. Food should not be stacked on top of each other.

Rearrangement: Rearrange overlapping areas, like tails of long fish fillets, from top to bottom, and closely packed pieces, like meatballs, from the outside to the center of the dish.

Standing Time: Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Microwave energy creates heat in the outer layers of the food. As a result of normal conduction, the food continues to cook for a few minutes after removal from the oven. Letting roasts, large whole vegetables, casseroles and cakes stand to finish cooking allows the middles to cook completely without overcooking, drying or toughening the outsides.

Covering: Covering speeds cooking time, retains moisture, tenderizes, insures even cooking and prevents spattering.

Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. Vent plastic by turning back one edge at the side of dish to form a narrow slot where excess steam can escape. Various degrees of moisture retention are also obtained by using wax paper or microwave-safe paper towels.

Browning: Microwave energy cooks some foods so quickly that the fats and sugars within the food do not have time to caramelize and give a "browned" appearance. Browning agents do not affect the quality of microwaved foods, but can add color and flavor. For meats and poultry, use bouquet sauce diluted with water or melted butter, soy, Worcestershire, finish cakes and breads. Top casseroles at the end of microwaving with grated cheese or crumbs.

COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED)

Some Foods Do Not Microwave Well

Eggs in Shells and hard boiled eggs can burst.

Pancakes do not crust, but they reheat well. Fully-prepared, frozen pancakes are available for microwaving.

Deep Fat Frying can cause burns.

Bottles with narrow necks may shatter if heated.

Pop Popcorn only in special microwave poppers. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer, or heat longer than recommended. Never pop popcorn in paper bags or glass utensils or directly on the glass tray.

HOT SNACKS AND APPETIZERS

Hot appetizers can be prepared very quickly in the microwave oven.

Many appetizers may be cooked on the serving platter, provided the platter does not have metal trim. A time saving tip – prepare these foods ahead of time, refrigerate or freeze, and refresh in the oven at serving time.

A plate of appetizers will take only seconds to refresh.

Cheese melts very rapidly and will toughen if overcooked, so watch foods combined with cheese closely so that overcooking will not occur. As soon as cheese starts to bubble, cooking is completed.

Appetizers that have a crisp pastry exterior are best prepared in a conventional oven.

To prepare appetizers wrapped in bacon, it will be necessary to precook the bacon and then wrap around the foods. Oysters wrapped in bacon are easier to prepare in the broiler of your conventional oven.

Seafood mixtures can be prepared in serving shells as microwave energy will pass through the seafood shells without heating. Aluminum foil should not be used for shells.

If spreads are placed on crackers, care should be taken not to overcook as moisture from the food will cause crackers to become soggy. Crackers used for spreads should be very dry and crisp. This helps avoid sogginess. Heat only until spread is at serving temperature.

The time required to heat all appetizers will depend on the amount of food, and the number and the type of dish selected. Remember the food will become very hot even if the dish is cool. Cheese mixtures retain heat longer when heated with microwave energy.

SEAFOOD

Guide for Cooking Seafood

Microwaving is one of the easiest and most efficient ways of preparing fish and seafood, which stay delicate and tender with quick, moist cooking. Overcooking dries out and toughens seafood, so you should check it after the minimum time. If thick pieces like fish steaks or lobster tails are done on the outside, but still slightly translucent in the middle, let them stand for a few minutes; internal heat will complete the cooking.

MEATS

Guide for Cooking Meats

Roasts, chops, hamburgers and small cuts of tender meat cook beautifully in the microwave oven. Most roasts can be cooked rare, medium rare or even well done in less than one hour. Less tender cuts of meat such as pot roast can be simmered fork-tender in a sauce or gravy. Tough cuts that require slow cooking will do better in a conventional oven. A large piece of meat, especially if the shape is uneven, should be turned over occasionally for uniform roasting.

POULTRY

Guide for Cooking Poultry

Chicken is one of the most popular foods and microwaving chicken is one of the best uses of your microwave oven. Chicken stays juicy and tender in the microwave oven. However, juiciness prevents browning because chicken crisps and browns only when the skin dries out enough to change color. Standing time is important, because it allows the interior to finish cooking without toughening the delicate breast meat.

EGGS & CHEESE

Guide for Cooking Eggs & Cheese

• CHEESE

Cheese melts quickly and smoothly. When serving cheese as an appetizer, flavor is at peak when served at room temperature. Use a low power level for melting. Cheese melts best when shredded and heated with milk or other liquids. Stir cheese mixtures several times for even heating.

• EGGS

Eggs cook differently by microwave. The high fat content of egg yolks absorbs energy, so yolks cook faster than whites. It's easy to poach eggs in a microwave oven, but if you want soft yolks, remove eggs from the oven before whites are completely cooked. A brief standing time allows whites to set without overcooking yolks. Check eggs for completion of cooking early, they toughen when overcooked.

When eggs and yolks are mixed together for omelets, scrambled eggs or custards, they cook more evenly and need less stirring than during conventional cooking methods.

Do not try to cook eggs in the shell. Steam can build up inside the shells, causing them to burst.

VEGETABLES

Guide for Cooking Fresh Vegetables

Nutrition al research indicates that many microwaved vegetables and fruits lose less water soluble vitamin C than when cooked conventionally. This is due to shorter cooking time and to the fact that less cooking water is needed when microwaving fruits and vegetables. Best of all, vegetables keep their fresh color, texture and flavor. Vegetables should be microwaved covered with vented plastic wrap or a casserole lid. Vegetables cooked in their skins, such as potatoes, are already so tightly covered that they should be pricked with a fork before cooking in order to release excess steam. To assure even cooking, vegetables should be cut in uniform pieces and stirred during the cooking time. Always add salt to water before adding vegetables. Reduce time a minute or two for crisp-tender texture. Increase time for very soft texture. Remember to allow standing time of two to five minutes after cooking because, as most foods do, vegetables will continue to cook after they are removed from the microwave oven.

CASSEROLES

Casseroles may require occasional stirring to distribute heat. They cook more evenly when made with ingredients of similar size and shape. Because of their shorter cooking time, casseroles cooked in the microwave oven generally need less liquid. Casseroles with cream and cheese sauces, or meats which need slower cooking to tenderize, cook best on power level 40.

When cooking a favorite casserole, make two and freeze the second for future use. Line a casserole or baking dish with plastic wrap. Transfer the cooked food to the lined container and freeze. As soon as the food is frozen in the shape of the dish, remove it and wrap with freezer paper. Later it can be unwrapped and returned to the container for defrosting and heating.

Dry Casserole Mixtures

Many prepared box type casseroles are available on the grocery shelves. Many have freeze dried foods or evaporated foods included. Cooking periods are so short there may not be time for the foods to absorb the moisture sufficiently and reconstitute the foods. To prepare this type, boil the amount of water recommended on the package. Add the noodles (when included), cover and cook for approximately 10 minutes. Allow noodles to stand covered for an additional 10 minutes, rinse with warm water and drain. Then follow package directions for preparing the mix. Reheat four to six minutes before serving.

SAUCES

Guide for Cooking Sauces

Sauces boil over rapidly, especially those that contain milk. As soon as the door is opened, cooking stops. If ingredients are not taken directly from the refrigerator, cooking time will be less than given in the recipe. Stir sauce quickly, about every 30 seconds to eliminate lumps. Be sure to use a container twice the size of the amount of liquid to prevent boiling over.

A wooden spoon may be left in the dish while sauce is cooking for easy stirring. If sauce is stirred slowly, cooking time may require about 15 seconds longer. If desired, a one-quart glass measure may be used to prepare some sauces.

SANDWICHES, INCLUDING HAMBURGERS AND HOT DOGS

Guide for Heating Sandwiches

Sandwiches heat very quickly because, being porous, they have a low density. Since the filling is usually more dense than the bread or rolls, the filling determines the heating time. Surprisingly, the filling will always be hotter than the bread feels. Care must be taken not to overcook as the bread will become tough. Use several thin slices of meat. Thin slices heat more quickly and are better than one thick slice. The slow heating thick slice often causes the bread to overcook before the meat is hot. Sandwiches may be placed on a paper plate, napkin or paper towel to be warmed. The sandwich should be covered with a microwave-safe paper towel. Remove wrapping immediately after warming. Already-baked frozen breads and rolls may be used for sandwiches. The filling, however, should be thawed first. Toasted bread is fine for sandwiches and provides a firm base. The toast is warmed only; no further browning occurs.

PASTA & GRAINS

Guide for Cooking Pasta and Grains

Raw long grain rice takes time to rehydrate. Microwaving time is a little shorter than conventional, but the greatest advantage is the ease with which you can prepare fluffy rice without sticking or burning. Cooked rice and pasta reheat easily in the microwave oven without loss of flavor or texture. No extra water is needed to prevent sticking or drying, so there's no danger of overcooking rice and pasta or thinning sauces.

CONVENIENCE FOODS

Frozen Foods

A large variety of frozen foods, special dishes and dinners are available and the selections continue to increase. The market is changing rapidly, therefore it is impossible to list the foods and types available and recommend cooking procedures. In this book we can only give general directions to assist you.

T.V. Dinners

To prepare a T.V. dinner, follow the maker’s instructions for use with microwave ovens.Cooking

a T.V. dinner will require approximately five to seven minutes for the food to thaw and heat to serving temperature

(depending on the types of food). Allow plastic wrap to remain over the dish for two minutes to allow heat to equalize. Dinners that contain mashed potatoes have presented a bit of a problem due to the large compact mass of this particular food. You may want to remove about half the mashed potatoes after defrosting is started, then spread the remaining potatoes over the individual section of the tray. Heat the removed mashed potatoes in an individual dish. For foods that should be crisp when cooking is completed, remove the plastic wrap and use the broiler of a conventional oven to crisp the food.

Individual Frozen Foods

These may be commercially prepared or frozen at home. Place the container of frozen food in the oven and heat only until the food starts to defrost and can be removed easily. Empty contents into a casserole or serving dish and continue to defrost and heat. Do not heat foods in deep foil containers. To crisp and brown special toppings, use the broiler of a conventional oven. If allowed to heat to serving temperature in a plastic container, the container will warp or melt from the high heat of food.

Frozen Foods in Cooking Pouches or Boilable Bags

To prepare these foods, slit the plastic bag. An X-type cut will help remove the food at the end of cooking time.

Place the cut side down on a serving dish (with no metal trim). Heat foods other than vegetables for about three minutes. Frozen vegetables require about eight to nine and a half minutes of cooking time. Allow the pouch bag to remain over the food for about two minutes to allow time for the heat to equalize. Foods prepared in cheese or white sauce should be removed from the pouch and placed in a glass casserole dish and stirred to prevent overcooking of the sauce around the edges of the dish.

COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED)

Complete Meals from Table Leftovers

Complete meals from leftovers can be prepared in advance. Foods can be frozen and ready for quick heating in the oven at any time. Choose foods suitable for freezing and put serving portions on paper, glass or china

(no metal trim) plates. Wrap with recommended freezer paper and freeze quickly. When apportioning the servings of food on the plate, use approximately the same amount of each kind of food for more even heating.

Mashed potatoes will heat quicker if spread slightly and hollowed, with a pat of butter in the center. To prevent small pieces of vegetables, corn, peas, etc., from dehydrating during heating, mound well near the center of the plate.

DESSERTS

There's always time to make dessert with a microwave oven. Fruit desserts have a remarkably fresh flavor and texture. Microwaved cakes are higher and more tender than conventionally baked; since cakes are usually frosted, browning is unimportant. Microwaved pie crusts are exceptionally tender and flaky, while delicate custards and puddings are easy to prepare.

Baking

• Bar cookies work best. Greasing or lining of the microwaveable baking dish is optional.

• If insufficient browning disturbs you, frost, glaze or add food coloring to white or yellow batters.

• A microwaveable cookie sheet can be made by covering cardboard with waxed paper.

• Round glass baking dishes, and fluted or smooth microwaveable ring molds work best for cakes. You can make a microwaveable ring mold of your own by placing a medium-size glass in the center of a round glass baking dish.

• Because your cakes will rise higher in microwave cooking, never fill microwaveable cake pans more than half full.

• Reduce baking powder and soda by approximately one-fourth when converting a conventional recipe.

• Fill paper-lined muffin cups to only half full which allows for muffins to rise more than normal.

• You can prepare your own "brown 'n serve" breads and rolls by baking them ahead of time in the microwave oven. Then, place them in a conventional oven to brown prior to serving.

• Breads and rolls should be reheated to the point where they are warm to the touch. Overheating or overcooking makes bread tough and rubbery.

• When making yeast bread in a microwave oven, choose a recipe with cornmeal, whole wheat flour, or rye flour to achieve a richer color.
