Part 1: Safety Warnings

Important Safety Information

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING

To reduce the risk of burns, Electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

1. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet.

2. The unit should digrounding. In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a release cable for electric current. This unit is equipped with a cord that has a grounding wire with a grounding plug.

The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is installed and already diground.

Warning :

Incorrect use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if there is doubt as to whether the appliance is properly diground. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only extension cords with grounding.

Ranking marks the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

3. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers, for example, closed glass jars, may explode and should not be heated in this oven.

4. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

5. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

6. When the unit is operated with a combination mode, use the microwave oven by children must be under the supervision of parents.

7. When the door or door seals are damaged, microwave oven can not be used until repaired first by MODENA technicians.

8. Not recommended except MODENA technician who repair the microwave oven because it is very risky.

9. Liquid and food should not be heated in a state still closed as it may cause an explosion.

10. The microwave oven must have sufficient water flow. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm from the rear, 8 cm from the right and left, 15 cm from the top. Prohibited move the foot of microwave oven, air blocking prohibited.

11. Only suitable tools that can be used for this microwave oven.

12. At the time of heating food in plastic or paper containers, note furnace microwave (microwave oven) because there is the possibility of contact.

13. If any odor / not normal, turn off or disconnect the plug and noticed the door remains closed to withstand fire.

14. Placement of bottles and baby food should be stirred and the temperature should be checked before it is consumed by infants.

15. At the time of cleaning the surface of the door, door hinges, oven space, can only use a mild soap, not rude or detergents with a sponge or soft cloth.

16. Conditions microwave oven that is not clean can cause foaming of the surface which can damage and affect the resistance unit and very risky.

17. Make sure the microwave door is closed when you have finished using it and when not being used.

18. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

19. To clean the outside of the door using a soft non-abrasive soap applied to a soft sponge.

20. Do not use a microwave oven to heat corrosive chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides). Steam from the corrosive chemicals may interact with the contact and springs of the safety interlock switch so it can not operate.

21. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the inside of the oven with a damp soft cloth after each use. Do not let the rest of the oil or fat in the oven space, because they can experience the warm, smoky burn even when using the oven.

22. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. This could result in very hot liquids suddenly boiling over when a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the liquid. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

•

Do not overheat the liquid.

•

Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

•

Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

•

After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before moving the container.

•

Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

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 usage of the microwave. A combination of static 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 are 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.

13

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, Iike 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, Iike 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 currently undergoing a process where the cuisine greater heat dissipation inside immediately after the cooking process is finished, for example meat temperature will rise about sekitar 5 o – 8 o C (about 9 °

-15 ° F) during standing time. This period is very important in cooking with a microwave. Microwaves cause outer layer of thermal energy food, as a result of the normal conduction, the food is still undergoing a process of heating a few minutes after being removed from the oven, let dishes such as grilled meat, thin foods, cakes and vegetables in bulk, completion of this stage in order to be a central part fully ripe, without too ripe, dry or too crisp on the outside.

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 microwaveable cover.

Browning

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 sauce diluted with water or melted butter, soy, Worcestershire, barbecue or steak sauce, a sprinkling of paprika or dry gravy mix; jelly glaze or crumb coating. Frosting and topping finish cakes and breads. Top casseroles at the end of microwaving with grated cheese or crumbs.

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.

•

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 hors d'oeuvres and appetizers can be prepared very quickly in the oven by the hostess, or individual servings may be prepared by guests. 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 reheat in the oven at serving time. A plate of appetizers will take only seconds to prepare or reheat.

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 range.

Mixed seafood 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.

MEATS

Guide for Cooking Meats

14

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 the conventional range or oven. A large piece of meat, especially if the shape is uneven, should be turned over occasionally for even doneness.

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.

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.

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 absorb 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

2 cups 6 – 7 minute

Guide for Cooking Fresh Vegetables

2 1/2 – 3 minute 2 minute

Nutrition 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 covered with microwaveable cover. 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.

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 1 quart glass measure may be used to prepare some sauces.

CASSEROLES

Casseroles may require occasional stirring to distribute heat. They cook more evenly when made withingredients 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 microwaveable cover. 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

18

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 4 to 6 minutes before serving.

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.

Yout must take a careful effort 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. 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. You can use toast bread for sandwiches.

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.

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 spread evenly. Dinners that contain mashed potatoes might have 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 range. In this condition do not use plastic containers, as it may melt in the heat.

Frozen Foods in Cooking Pouches or Boilable Bags

To prepare these foods, slit the plastic bag. An X-type cut will help to move the food easily 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 spread. Foods prepared with 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.

Meals from Table Leftovers

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 (no metal trim) plates. Wrap with recommended freezer paper and freeze quickly. When portioning 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 more tender than conventionally baked; since cakes are usually frosted, browning is unimportant.

Microwaved pie crusts are exceptionally tender and crispy, while delicate custards and puddings are easy to prepare.

• 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.

• 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.

20

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