IMPORTANTGROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS

[_ 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

electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord that includes a

grounding wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet

that is properly installed and grounded. Plug the three-prong power cord into a

properly grounded outlet of standard 115-120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should

be the only appliance on this circuit.

A WARNING

WARNING

O Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a

....... qualified electrician or servicer if you do not understand the grounding instructions

or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.

_Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short,

have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any

circumstances.

[_ Connect the 15A dedicated circuit.

only

THEVENTFAN

_} The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions.Take care to prevent

the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.

In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the microwave oven,

smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a

lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not be allowed to accumulate

on the ventilating hood.

When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. A corrosive cleaning agent, such as

lye based oven cleaner, may damage the filter.

Never leave surface units beneath your microwave oven unattended at high

heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite

and spread if the microwave vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan

operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only

when necessary.

To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the

food without being reflected or absorbed by the dish,

It is important to choose the correct cookware, therefore look for cookware that is

marked microwave-safe,

The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates if and how they

should be used in a microwave oven.

MICROWAVE-SAFE UTENSi LS

If you are not sure whether an item is microwave-safe or not, you can perform the following simple test:

1, Place 1 cup of water (in a glass-measuring cup) inside your oven

next to the item to be tested.

2, Press the Add 30 Sec. button twice to heat them both for one

minute at high power.

After one minute, the water should be warm and the item you are testing

should be cool. If the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave

energy and is not microwave-safe.

Aluminum foil /X

Can be used in small quantities to protect

areas against overcooking. Arcing can occur

if the foil is too close to the oven wall or if too

much foil is used.

cookware gude 29

Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by the water,

fat and sugar content. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move

rapidJy. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting

heat cooks the food.

GENERAL MICROWAVE TIPS

Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter foods. Foods with a delicate texture should

be heated at a low power level to avoid becoming tough.

Foods with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot dogs, should be pierced to prevent bursting.

Putting heating oil or fat in the microwave is not recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil over and

cause severe burns.

Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly in the jelly doughnut will be hotter than the

dough. Keep this in mind to avoid burns.

The altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect the cooking time. When using a new recipe,

use the minimum cooking time and check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking.

Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because not all harmful bacteria may be

destroyed by the microwave heating process.

Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat from the food is often transferred to the

cookware. Always use pot holders when removing food from the microwave and instruct children to do the

same.

Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can be heated to very high temperatures.

Keep this in mind to avoid injury.

Cooking techniques

If the oven is set to cook for more than 25 minutes, it will automatically adjust to 70 percent

power after 25 minutes to avoid overcooking.

Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at

the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside

towards the center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.

Arrangement

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier

parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent

overcooking, place thin or delicate parts towards the center of the turntable.

Shielding

Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding

include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only

small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.

Turning

Turn foods over midway through the cooking cycle to expose all parts to the microwave energy.

This is especially important with large items such as roasts.

Standing

Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes

after the oven stops. Let foods stand to complete the cooking process, especially foods such as

roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without

overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate should be shaken or

stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating

baby food, stir well and test the temperature before serving.

30 cookng gude

Adding moisture

Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content

should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of

water to dry food to help it cook.

Venting

After covering a dish with plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner to let

excess steam escape.

COOKING MEAT

Place the meat fat side down on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Use narrow

strips of aluminum foil to shield any bone tips or thin pieces of meat. Check the temperature in several

places before letting the meat stand the recommended time.

The following temperatures are the removal temperatures. The temperature of the food will rise during

standing time.

COOKING EGGS

You can use your microwave oven to cook eggs. Cook them until they are just set as they become tough if

they are overcooked.

Z_ Never cook eggs in their shells, and never warm up hard-boiled eggs in their shells as they may

....... explode. Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

COOKING VEGETABLES

Vegetables should be washed prior to cooking. Usually, no extra water is needed. If dense vegetables such

as potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about 1/4cup water.

Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.

Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle

on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over halfway through the cooking

process.

Always place vegetables such as asparagus and broccoli with the stems pointing towards the edge of the

dish and the tips toward the center.

When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.

Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skins pierced in

several spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting.

For a more even cooking result, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cook time.

Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (The standing time refers to the time necessary

for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato

can stand on the counter for five minutes before cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served

immediately.

CHECK THESE POINTS IF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN...

The display and/or the oven is

not working.

The display is working, but the

power won't come on,

Is the power going off before

the set time has elapsed?

Cooks food too slowly,

Has sparks or arcing.

The turntable makes noise or

becomes stuck.

Causes -IV or radio

interference.

Make sure the plug is properly connected to a grounded outlet.

If the wall outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the wall

switch is turned on.

Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, and plug it in

again.

Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuses.

Plug a different appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance

doesn't work, call a qualified electrician to repair the wall outlet.

Plug the oven into a different outlet.

Make sure the door is closed securely.

Check if any packaging material or anything else is stuck in the door

seal.

Check if the door is damaged.

Touch Cancel twice and enter all the cooking instructions again.

If there was a power outage, the time indicator will display: _:_,'_:_3.

If no power outage occurred, remove the plug from the outlet, wait

ten seconds, and plug it in again. Reset the clock and any cooking

instructions.

Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuses.

Make sure the oven has its own 20 amp circuit line. Operating

another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If

necessary, move the oven to its own circuit.

Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil,

use only narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil

and the interior oven walls.

Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor.

Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.

This is similar to interference caused by other small appliances,

such as hair dryers. Move your microwave (or appliance) away from

appliances, such as your TV or radio.

IMPORTANTGROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS

[_ 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

electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord that includes a

grounding wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet

that is properly installed and grounded. Plug the three-prong power cord into a

properly grounded outlet of standard 115-120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should

be the only appliance on this circuit.

A WARNING

WARNING

O Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a

....... qualified electrician or servicer if you do not understand the grounding instructions

or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.

_Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short,

have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any

circumstances.

[_ Connect the 15A dedicated circuit.

THEVENTFAN

_} The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions.Take care to prevent

the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.

In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the microwave oven,

smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a

lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not be allowed to accumulate

on the ventilating hood.

When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. A corrosive cleaning agent, such as

lye based oven cleaner, may damage the filter.

Never leave surface units beneath your microwave oven unattended at high

heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite

and spread if the microwave vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan

operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only

when necessary.
