How your microwave oven works (cont.)
Microwaves pass throuc
h most glass, paper, and
plastics without heating
them so food absorbs
the energy. Microwaves
bounce off metar
containers so food does
not absorb the energy.
Microwaves may not
reach the center of a
roast. The heat spreads
to the center from the
outer,cooked areas
just as in regularoven
cooking. Thisisone of
the reasonsfor letting
some foods (for
example, roasts
or baked potatoes)
stand for a while after cooking, or for stirringsome
foods during the cookingtime.
The microwaves disturb water molecules in the
food. As the molecules bounce around bumping
into each other, heat is made, like rubbing your
hands together. This is the heat that does the
cooking.
NOTE: Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable
cook_,are is not suitable and it is difficult to
maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures.
For the best cooking results
• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time
recommended. Check to see how the food is
cooking. If needed, touch ADD ONE MINUTE while
the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is
over (see the "Using ADD ONE MINUTE" section).
• To help make sure the food is evenly cooked, stir,
turn over, or rearrange the food about halfway
through the cooking time.
• If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax
paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or
plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of
the plastic wrap 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to 1.2 cm)
to vent steam during heating or cooking.
Radio interference
Using yourmicrowave oven may cause interference
to your radio,33/,or similarequipment. When there
is interference,youcan reduce itor remove it by:
• Cleaning the door and sealingsurfaces of
the oven.
• Adjustingthe receivingantenna of the radio
or television.
• Moving the radio or TV away from the microwave
oven.
• Plugging the microwave oven into a different
outlet so that the microwave oven and radio or TV
are on different branch circuits.
Testing your microwave oven
Totest the oven put about 1 cup of
cold water ina glass container inthe
oven. Close the door and make sure
it latches. Followthe directionsin
=Cooking at high cook power" inthe
=Using YourMicrowave Oven"

When the time is up, the water should be heated.
