●

Some

products such as whole eggs and sealed

containebfor

example, closed jars-will

explode and should not be heated in this

microwave oven. Such use of the microwave

oven could result in injury,

●

Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even

without their lids; especially meat and egg

mixtures.

●

Don’t

defrost frozen beverages in narrow

necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages).

Even if the container is opened, pressure can build

up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly

resulting in injury,

●

Use metal only as directed in this book. TV

dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than

3/4” high; remove top foil cover and return tray

to box. When using metal in the microwave oven,

keep metal (other than metal

shel~

at least

1 inch away from sides of oven.

●

Cookware may become hot because

of heat transferred from the heated

food. Pot holders may be needed to

handle the cookware.

●

Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend

to boil over more rapidly than foods containing

less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care

and Cleaning section(s) for instructions on how to

clean the inside of the oven.

●

Thermometer—Do not use a thermometer in

food you are microwaving unless the thermometer

is designed or recommended for use in the

microwave oven.

●

Remove the temperature probe from the oven

when not using it to cook with. If you leave the

probe inside the oven without inserting it in food

or liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can

create electrical arcing in the oven and damage

oven walls.

●

Plastic

cookwar~Plastic

cookware designed

for microwave cooking is very useful, but should

be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic

may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions

are glass or ceramic materials and may soften

or char if subjected to

shoti

periods of

overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking,

the food and cookware could ignite. For these

reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe plastics only and

use them in strict compliance with the cookware

manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not

subject empty cookware to microwaving.

3) Do not permit children to use plastic

cookware without complete supervision,

●

When cooking pork, follow the directions

exactly and always cook the meat to an internal

temperature of at least

170°F.

This assures that, in

the remote possibility that trichina may be present

in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe

to eat.

. Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure

will build up inside

egg

yolk and will cause it to

burst, possibly resulting in injury.

●

Foods with unbroken outer

“skin”

such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes,

apples, chicken

fivers

and other

giblets, and egg

yoks

(see previous

caution) should be pierced to allow

steam to escape during cooking.

●

Not

plastic wrap is suitable for use in

microwave ovens. Check the package for

proper use.

●

Spontaneous boiling—Under

certain special circumstances,

liquids may start to boil during

or shortly after removal from the

microwave oven. To prevent bums

from splashing liquid, stir the

liquid briefly before removing the

container from the microwave oven.

●

~~Boflable”

cooking pouches and tightly

closed

plastic bags

should be slit, pierced or vented as

directed by package. If they are not, plastic

could burst

duting

or immediately after cooking,

possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage

containers should beat least partially uncovered

because they form a tight

seal.

When

coo~ng

with containers tightly covered with

plastlc

wrap,

remove covering carefully and direct steam away

from hands and face.

‘

●

Hot

foods and steam can cause

-----

burns. Be careful when opening

any containers of hot food, including

popcorn bags, cooking pouches and

boxes. To prevent possible injury,

direct steam away from hands

and face.

. Use of the shelf accessory.

—Remove the shelf from oven when not in use.

—Do not store or cook with shelf on floor of oven.

Product damage may result.

—Use pot holders when handling the shelf and

cookware. They may be hot.

—Do

not use microwave browning dish on shelf.

The shelf could overheat.

—Use the shelf only when cooking on 2 levels.

—Be sure that the shelf is positioned properly

inside the oven to prevent product damage,

Use of shelf with Popcorn feature is not

recommended (see the Popcorn section).

The Exhaust Hood

●

Have it installed and properly grounded by a

qualified installer. See the special

inshllation

booMet

packed with the microwave oven.

●

The exhaust fan in the oven will operate

automatically under certain conditions

(see Automatic Fan Feature). While the fan

is operating, caution is required to prevent

the starting and spreading of accidental

cooking fires while the exhaust fan is in

use. For this reason:

—Never leave surface units unattended at

high heat settings.

Boilover

causes smoking and

greasy

spillovers

that may ignite and spread if

exhaust fan is operating. To minimize automatic

fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and

use high heat only when necessary.

4~,

—In the event of a grease fire,

smother flaming pan on surface

unit by covering pan completely

with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet

or flat tray.

—Clean the vent hood often.

Do not allow grease

to buildup on the hood or the filter.

—Use care

when cleaning the vent hood filter.

Corrosive

cleaning agents, such as lye-based

oven cleaners, may damage the filter.

—When flaming foods under the hood, turn

the fan off, The fan, if operating, may spread

the flame.

MICROWAVING TIPS

● Make sure all cookware used in your microwave

● Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap

can be used to cover dishes in order to retain

casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard

moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent

for microwaving.”

or rearranging. Check the Cooking Guide.

● If you are not

sure if a dish is

microwave-safe,

use this test:

Place in the oven

both the dish you

are testing and a

glass measuring

cup filled with

1 cup water—set

the measuring cup either in or next to the dish.

Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats, it

should not be used for microwaving. If the dish

remains cool and only the water in the cup heats,

then the dish is microwave-safe.

● 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.

If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make

sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

Defrosting Tips

● Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted

in the package. Tightly closed packages should be

slit, pierced or vented, AFTER food has partially

defrosted, as directed by package. Plastic storage

containers

should

be at least partially uncovered.

● Family-size, pre-packaged frozen dinners can be

defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a

foil

container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

● For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken

up or separated part of the way through the

defrosting time.

Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.

●

Foods that spoil easily, such as

milk,

eggs, fish,

stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to

sit out for more than 1 hour after defrosting. Room

temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

GLOSSARY OF MICROWAVE TERMS

When adapting recipes for the microwave, it is best

to start with a familiar recipe. Knowing how the

food should look and taste will help when adapting

recipes for microwaving. Foods that require

browning or crisp, dry surfaces will cook better

in regular ovens.

“

Moist foods, such as vegetables, fruits, poultry and

seafood, microwave well.

● Rich foods, such as bar cookies, moist cakes and

candies, are suitable for microwaving because of

their high fat and sugar content.

Reduce regular oven cooking times by 1/2 to 1/3.

Check food after minimum time to avoid overcooking.

● Small amounts of butter or oil can be used for

flavoring, but are not needed to prevent sticking.

● Seasonings may need to be reduced. Salt meats and

vegetables after cooking.

Covering.

In both regular baking and microwave

cooking, covers hold in moisture, allow for more

even heating and reduce cooking time. In regular ovens,

partial covering allows excess steam to escape. Venting

plastic wrap or covering with wax paper serves the

same purpose when microwaving.

Venting.

After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you

vent the plastic wrap by turning back

comer so excess

steam can escape.

Arranging Food in Oven. When baking in regular

ovens, you position foods, such as cake layers or

potatoes, so hot air can flow around them. When

microwaving, you arrange foods in a ring, so that

all sides are exposed to microwave energy.

Stirring.

In range-top cooking, you stir foods up from

the bottom to heat them evenly. When microwaving,

you stir cooked portions from the outside to the center.

Foods that require constant stirring will need only

occasional stirring when microwaving.

~rning

Over.

In range-top cooking, you turn over

foods, such as hamburgers, so both sides can directly

contact the hot pan. When microwaving, turning is

often needed during defrosting or when cooking certain

foods, such as frozen hamburgers.

Standing Time.

When you cook with regular ovens,

foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to

finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially

important in microwave cooking. Note that a

microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.

Shielding.

In a regular oven, you shield chicken

breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning.

When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to

shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs

on poultry, which would cook before larger parts.

Arcing.

Sparks caused by too much metal in the

microwave oven or metal touching the side of the

oven or foil that is not molded to food.

Prick Foods to Release Pressure. Steam builds up

pressure in foods that are tightly covered by a skin or

membrane. Prick foods, such as potatoes (as you do

before regular oven cooking), egg yolks and chicken

livers, to prevent bursting.

Rotating.

Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the oven

helps food cook more evenly. To rotate 1/2 turn, turn

the dish until the side that was to the back of the oven

the front. To rotate 1/4 turn, turn the dish until the

side that was to the back of the oven is to the side.

GU~E

TO USE OF THE OVEN SHELF

● Use the shelf only when cooking food on 2

levels. Food microwaves best when placed

directly on the oven floor.

● Do not store or cook with metal shelf on floor

of oven. Product damage may result.

● Use pot holders when handling metal shelf

and cookware. They may be hot.

● Do not store microwave browning dish on

metal shelf.

● Use of shelf with the Quick Reheat or

Popcorn program is not recommended.

The wire shelf is specifically designed for added

capacity heating

and

reheating in your microwave

oven. Now more than

food may be heated or

reheated and ready to serve at the same time.

Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods

which need to be prepared from scratch should be

cooked without the oven shelf.

NOTE: Your model is equipped with 1 of 2 types

of oven shelves.

When properly positioned, the

shelf should fit snugly in place,

If arcing occurs when using the

shelf to cook more than 1 food

at the same time, turn the oven

off. Make sure the shelf is not

touching oven walls. To prevent

arcing, remove the shelf when

you are not using it.

you are not using it.

How to Reheat Several Different

~pes

When heating several different types of food together,

foods which should be served hot must be placed on

the oven floor, while foods which need only to be

warmed should be placed on the shelf. This is

because microwave energy enters the oven from the

bottom only. Also, it is important to remember that

foods absorb microwave energy at different rates.

Rates can be affected by the size of the food, and its

starting temperature.

Because of the varying rates, you may need to start

reheating a large or dense food a few minutes ahead

of time, then add other smaller or less dense foods.

Alternately, if 1 of the foods you are heating seems

undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily,

let the

underheated food continue cooking.

Heat or reheat different types of food at High ( 10).

To determine heating times, add times for all foods

together. After half of time, stir or rearrange foods

(do not reverse positions). Check foods (especially

those on the oven floor) after 3/4 of total time and

remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.

Foods Together

Place on the

floor larger

or more dense

foods,

which

as leftover

canned or leftover vegetables, rice or pasta. Place

on the oven shelf those foods which need only be

warmed, such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins or breads.

Pop popcorn on the microwave oven floor only.

Popcorn placed on the oven shelf will not pop

properly. Use a special microwave popcorn

accessory or prepackaged popcorn labeled for

use in microwave ovens.
