• Remove food from wrapper to prevent holding steam and juice and place in a
microwave-safe baking dish or a roasting rack to catch drippings.
• Cover thin parts with aluminum foil to prevent overdefrosting.
• Because some food should be still icy in center, it is necessary to have standing time
after defrosting food in the oven to complete defrosting. Leave your food for a while
out of oven. The denser the food such as roasts, the longer standing time is required.
Note: • Weight can be entered up to 5.9 Ibs. If weight is entered more than 5.9 Ibs and
press START, a beep sounds to alert you to enter correct weight.
• The oven selects lib if a weight is not entered.
• Beep tone sounds 5 seconds during the defrosting cycle to signal that
food should be rearranged to improve defrosting performance. Open the
- door and rearrange the food. The oven continues the defrosting cycle to the
end if you do not open the door.
• Food can be defrosted in a styrofoam package.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
Advantages of microwave cooking are
speed and efficiency. For warming,
heating, and defrosting, nothing
compares. There are a few tips that will
make microwaving easier and more
enjoyable.
Microwave Cooking Principles
Because microwave cooking requires
only one-quarter to one-third the time of
conventional cooking, the same cooking
principles become even more important.
Quantity
The more food being cooked, the longer
you will have to cook it. As a general
rule, when doubling a recipe, increase
the cooking time by about 50 percent.
When cutting a recipe in half, reduce the
time by about 40 percent.
Density
Dense foods, such as potatoes, roasts
and carrots, absorb microwave energy
less quickly than porous foods such as
ground beef or mashed potatoes.
Therefore, denser foods take longer to
cook.
Shape and Size
Small pieces cook faster than large
ones. For even cooking, it is important to
have all the pieces the same size.
Evenly shaped pieces, round or
doughnut shaped, microwave best.
When cooking items of varying
thickness, arrange the thick portion near
the outer edge of the dish.
Moisture, Sugar and Fat
Food high in moisture, sugar or fat cook
faster than foods that are low in these
substances. Add a minimum of liquid to
moist foods. An excess amount of water
slows cooking.
Starting Temperature
Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer
to £_n_n__crowavethan food at room
temperature.
Delicate Ingredients
Some foods require special attention
when cooked in the microwave oven.
Delicate foods such as eggs, cheese,
mayonnaise, etc. cook so quickly, they
should be watched carefully.
Microwave Cooking Techniques
Arranging: Arrange foods in a circular
pattern, when possible.
Piercing: Pierce the membrane of foods
such as eggs, oysters, snails, sausages,
livers, clams and whole vegetables, so
they do not burst.
Covering: Covering speeds heating
and prevents spattering.
Stirring:To help food cook more quickly
and evenly.
Turning Over: To help larger foods
such as roasts or whole chickens cook
more evenly.
Reheating: Place food that is denser/
larger/thicker to the outer edge and the
smaller/thinner or more porous food to
the center.
Shielding:To prevent overcooking, thin
or bony areas can be protected with
small strips of aluminum foil.
Standing Time: Foods continue
cooking even after removal from the
oven. Standing time is necessary to
allow foods to complete cooking.
Converting Recipes
Microwave recipes will likely call for less
liquid and cooking time.
Safety Food Temperatures
For your safety, following temperature is
recommended to avoid potential food
poisoning problems.
160°F (71°C): Meat, Fish, Eggs
165°F (74°C): Reheating foods
170°F (77°C): Poultry (White Meat)
180°F (82°C): Poultry (Dark Meat)

TIME COOKING - APPETIZERS AND RICE
CONVERTING RECIPES "
Most hot appetizers adapt well to
microwave cooking, the exception being
those wrapped in pastry. Pastry requires
the hot environment of the conventional •
oven to become crisp.
Toppings for canapds can be made
ahead and then placed on bread or
crackers just before heating.
This guarantees crispness.
Cover appetizers or dips only when
called for by a recipe. Use casserole
lids, wax paper, plastic wrap, or paper
towel.
Appetizers and dips that contain
cheese, mayonnaise and other
delicate ingredients are usually
heated on power level P 10. A higher
setting might cause separation or
drying.

TIME COOKING - MEATS, POULTRY AND FISH
PREPARATION
• Use a microwave-safe dish, etc.
• Defrost Frozen foods completely.
• Wash poultry and fish in cool water.
• Arrange small items in a single layer
in dish, avoid overlapping edges of
food.
• Place thick sections toward edge of
the dish.
• Use a rack in the dish to elevate meat
out of the juices.
• Use spices, seasonings as desired.
• Add salt after cooking if necessary.
• Aluminum foils can be used to cover
thin parts of meat or poultry wings
and legs to prevent overcooking.
• Foils should be applied toward the
end of cooking time.
• Place meat fat side down.
COOKING
• Use wax paper or plastic wrap to stop
splattering.
• Turn over or rearrange meat, poultry
and fish halfway through cooking
time.
CHECKING DONENESS
Beef: The color inside meat indicates
aloneness. Rare roast should be red
inside. Medium is pink and gray
indicates well done.
Pork: Cooked pork meat should be gray
with clear juice.
Poultry: Juices should be clear yellow
when cooked. Legs should move freely.
Fish and Seafood: Should be opaque
in color and flake easily.
To check internal temperature of various
meats and poultry, use a microwave or
conventional meat thermometer after
removing meat from the oven. Insert the
thermometer avoiding bone or fat. Lower
temperatures are found in the center of
the roast or in the muscle close to a large
bone. Never use a conventional meat
thermometer in the microwave oven.
Return undercooked food to oven for a
short period of time at the recommended
power level. Let stand as recommended
in chart. Cover roasts and whole poultry
during stand time.

TIME COOKING - BAKED GOODS AND DESSERTS
Converting Recipes
When adapting quick bread recipes, you
will find it necessary to reduce the
amount of leavening (baking powder or
soda) by about one-quarter the normal
amount. A bitter aftertaste is apparent if
too much leavening is used in biscuits or
muffins. Since food rises higher in the
microwave oven, you will not see a loss
in volume from the reduction of soda or
baking powder.
If a recipe contains buttermilk or sour
cream, do not change the amount of
soda, since it serves to counteract the
sour taste and does not act only as a
leavening agent.
When using a mix where leavening
cannot be reduced, allow the dough to
stand about 10 minutes before cooking
in order for some of the gas to be lost.
Breads and rolls should be reheated
only until they are warm to the touch.
Overheating or overcooking makes
bread tough and rubbery.

CLEANING
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a
soft cloth and a mild detergent solution.
Then rinse and wipe dry. 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 spatters with a wet paper
towel, especially after cooking chicken
or bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
Wash in warm (not hot) waterwith a mild
detergent and a soft cloth. Rinse them
well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use
cleaning powders, steel wool or rough
pads.
• The turntable may be cleaned at the
sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch
the edges as this may cause the
turntable to break during use.
SEARS SERVICE
• 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 them 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.
_ CAUTION-
Product Damage Hazard
Uncleaned cavity cover (located in the
right side wall of the oven cavity) will
cause fire, burn or sparking. Clean your
oven with wet towel.
