You can keep cooked food warm in your microwave oven for up to 99 minutes 99 seconds.
Keep Warm operates for up to 99 minutes 99 seconds.
Food that is cooked covered should also be covered during Keep Warm.
Pastry items (pies, turnovers, etc.) should be uncovered during Keep Warm. Complete meals kept warm on a dinner plate can. be covered during Keep Warm.
Below are the amounts of food we recommend you apply the Warm and Hold function to by Food Type.
For food to cook in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food without being reflected or absorbed by the dish.
Itis important to choose the correct cookware. therefore, look for cookware that is marked microwave-safe.
The following table ists various types of cookware and indicates if and how they should be used in a microwave oven.
MICROWAVE-SAFE UTENSILS
If you are not sure whether an item is microwave-safe. you can perform the following simple test:
After one minute, the water should be warm and the item you are testing should be cool. Ifthe dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not microwave- safe.
Microwave energy actually penetrates food. attracted and absorbed by the water, fat, and sugar in the food. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. 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 prevent them from 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 a 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 trying 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 20 minutes, it will automatically adjust to 70 percent power after 20 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Stirring
Open the microwave door and stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables occasionally 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 can 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.
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 tamperatiire before serving.
Aaaing 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.
The following temperatures are the removal temperatures. The temperature of the food will rise during standing time. Expect a 10 °F rise in temperature during the standing time.
COOKING POULTRY
Place the poultry on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish and cover with wax paper to prevent spattering. Use aluminum foil to shield the bone tips, thin pieces of meat, or areas that may start to overcook.
Check the temperature in several places before letting the poultry stand the recommended time.
COOKING SEAFOOD
Place the fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack ina microwave-safe dish. Use a tight cover to steam the fish.
A lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel will decrease steaming. Cook the fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Do not over cook fish. Check it after the minimum cooking 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.
Never cook eggs in their shells and never warm warsne UP hard-boiled eggs in their shells. Eggs cooked or warmed up in their shells can 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. When cooking dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and green beans, add about 1/4 cup 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.
Keeping your microwave oven clean improves its performance, wards off unnecessary repairs. and lengthens its life.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your microwave oven as they occur. Use a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.

Cleaning the door and door seals
Always ensure that the door seals are clean and that the door closes properly. Take particular care when cleaning the door seals to ensure that no particles accumulate and prevent the door from closing correctly. Wash the glass door with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
If a thin film of water accumulates on the inside or outside of the oven door, wipe it off with a soft cloth. A thin water film can accumulate when you operate the oven when humidity is high and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Ensure that the microwave oven has cooled down before cleaning it to avoid injury.
Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking. handle it with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
Clean the interior surfaces (oven cavity) of your microwave oven periodically to remove any splashes or stains. To remove hardened food articles and remove smells, place
2 cups of water (add lemon juice for extra freshness) into a four-cup measuring glass. Run the microwave at High power for 5 minutes or until the water boils. Let the water stand in the oven for one or two minutes.
CLEANING THE TURNTABLE AND ROLLER RINGS
Clean the roller rings periodically and wash the turntable as required. You can wash the turntable safely in your dishwasher.
