SAVE
THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
A.
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
For
personal
safety,
this
appliance
must
be
properly
grounded.
In
the
event
of
an
electrical
short
circuit,
grounding
reduces
the
risk
of
electric
shock
by
providing
an
escape
route
for
the
electric
current.
The
power
cord
of
this
appliance
is
equipped
with
a
three-
prong
(grounding)
plug
to
minimize
the
possibility
of
electric
shock
hazard
from
this
appliance.
The
plug
must
be
plugged
into
an
outlet
that
is
properly
installed
and
grounded.
WARNING
--
Improper
use
of
the
grounding
plug
can
result
in
a
risk
of
electric
shock.
Do
not,
under
any
circumstances,
cut
or
remove
the
third
ground
prong
from
the
power
cord
plug.
The
consumer
should
have
it
checked
by
a
qualified
electrician
or
serviceman
if
the
grounding
instructions
are
not
completely
understood,
or
if
doubt
exists
as
to
whether
the
appliance
is
properly
grounded.
Where
a
standard
two-prong
wall
receptacle
is
encountered,
it
is
the
responsibility
and
obligation
of
the
consumer
to
have
it
replaced
with
a
properly
grounded
three-prong
wall
receptacle.
a)
If
customer
has
two-prong
wall
receptacle,
he
should
replace
it
with
a
three-prong
(grounding)
receptacle
by
a
qualified
electrician
before
using
the
appliance.
b)
Use
of
extension
cords:
If
it
is
necessary
to
use
an
extension
cord,
use
only
a
3-wire
extension cord
that
has
a
3-blade
grounding
plug,
and
a
3-slot
receptacle
that
will
accept
the
plug
on
the
appliance.
The
marked
rating
of
the
extension
cord
should
be
equal
to
or
greater
than
the
electrical
rating
of
the
appliance.
NOTE:
1.
A
short
power-supply
cord
is
provided
to
reduce
the
risks
resulting
from
becoming
entangled
in
or
tripping
over
a
longer
cord.
2.
Longer
cord
sets
or
extension
cords
are
available
and
may
be
used
if
care
is
exercised
in
their
use.
3.
If
a
long
cord
or
extension cord
is
used,
(1)
the
marked
electrical
rating
of
the
cord
set
or
extension
cord
should
be
at
least
as
great
as
the
electrical
rating
of
the
appliance,
(2)
the
extension
cord
must
be
a
grounding-type
3-wire
cord,
and
(3)
the
longer
cord
should
be
arranged
so
that
it
will
not
drape
over
the
countertop
or

where
it
can
be
pulled
on
by
children
or
tripped
over
accidentally.
B.
CIRCUITS
For

specified
on
the
oven
serial
plate
located
on
the
back
or
on
the
side
of
the
control
panel
of

PROPERLY

AND
GROUNDED
OUTLET
HOW
YOUR
MICROWAVE
OVEN
WORKS
Microwaves
are
a
form
of
energy
similar
to
radio
and
television
waves.
Your
microwave
oven
is
constructed
in
such
a
way
as
to
take
advantage
of
microwave
energy.
Electricity
is
converted
into
microwave
energy
by
the
magnetron
tube,
and
microwaves
are
then
directed
into
the
cooking
area
through
openings
in
the
oven.
Microwaves
reflect
off
the
metal
walls
of
the
oven.
They
can
be
transmitted
through
glass,
paper,
wicker
and
microwave-
safe
cooking
dishes.
Microwaves
do
not
heat
the
cookware,
though
dishes
will
eventually
feel
hot
from
the
heat
generated
by
the
food.
Microwaves
are
attracted
to
the
moisture
in
foods
and
cause
the
water
molecules
to
vibrate,
2,450
million
times
per
second.
This
is
called
absorption.
As
the
water
molecules
vibrate
they
rub
against
each
other,
producing
friction.
This
friction,
in
turn,
causes
the
food
to
get
hot.
If
you
have
trouble
imagining
how
this
is
possible,
just
think
how
hot
your
hands
would
get
if
you
rubbed
your
palms
together
2,450
million
times
per
second!
A
very
safe
appliance:
Your
microwave
oven
is
one
of
the safest
of
all
home
appliances.
When
the
door
is
opened,
the
oven
automatically
stops
producing
microwaves.
By
the
time
microwave
energy
has
been
converted
into
heat
in
the
process
of
making
food
hot,
the
microwaves
have
completely
dissipated.
GETTING
THE
BEST
RESULTS
FROM
YOUR
MICROWAVE
OVEN
Keeping
an
eye
on
things:
The
recipes
in
this
book
have
been
developed
with
great
care,
but
your
success
in
preparing
them
depends
upon
how
much
attention
you
pay
to
the
food
as
it
cooks.
Your
microwave
oven
is
equipped
with
a
light
that
turns
on
automatically
when
the
oven
is
in
operation.
You
can see
inside
the
oven
and
check
the
progress
of
your
food.
Directions
given
in
recipes
to
"elevate",
"stir",
"rotate",
etc.,
should
be
thought
of
as
the
minimum
steps
recommended,
for
evenness
and
speed
in
microwave
cooking.
Factors
affecting
cooking
time:
The
cooking
times
given
in
the
recipes
in
this
book
are
approximate.
Many
factors
affect
cooking
times.
The
temperature
of
ingredients
used
in
a
recipe,
makes
a
big
difference
in
the
cooking
time.
For
example,
a
cake
made
with
cold
butter,
milk
and
eggs
will
take
considerably
longer
to
cook
than
one
made
with
ingredients
that
are
at
room
temperature.
On
very
cold
or
very
hot
days,
a
great
deal
of
electricity
is
diverted
for
heating
or
cooling.
Therefore,
less
electricity
is
available
for
your
oven,
and
the
food
will
cook
more
slowly
than
usual.
Range
of
cooking
times:
All
of
the
recipes
in
this
book
give
a
range
of
cooking
times.
In
general,
you
will
find
that
the
food
remains
undercooked
at
the
lower
end
of
the
time
range.
You
may
sometimes
want
to
cook
your
food
beyond
the
maximum
time
given.
Personal
preferences
vary,
as
do
the
cooking
speeds
of
different
ovens
under
different
conditions.
While
undercooked
food
may
always
be
cooked
a
bit
more,
overcooked
food
can
be
ruined.
Some
of
the
recipes,
particularly
those
for
breads,
cakes
and
custards
suggest
that
food
be
removed
from
the
oven
when
it
is
still
slightly
undercooked.
This
is
not
a
mistake.
When
allowed
to
stand,
the
food
will
continue
to
cook
outside
of
the
oven,
as
the
heat
trapped
within
the
outer
portions
of
the
food
gradually
travels
inward.
If
the
food
is
left
in
the
oven
until
it
is
cooked
all
the
way
through,
the
outer
portions
will
become
overcooked.
As
you
gain
experience
in
using
your
microwave
oven,
you
will
become
increasingly
skillful
in
estimating
both
cooking
and
standing
times
for
various
foods.

INTRODUCTION
HOW
CHARACTERISTICS
OF
FOOD
AFFECT
MICROWAVE
COOKING
Quantity:
The
greater
the
volume
of
food,
the
longer
it
takes
to
cook
it.
In
general,
cooking
time
is
increased
by
about
50
percent,
when
doubling
a
recipe.
Time
is
reduced
by
approximately
40
percent
when
cutting
a
recipe
in
half.
Density:
Light,
porous
foods
such
as
cakes
and
breads
cook
more
quickly
than
heavy,
dense
food
such'as
roasts,
potatoes
and
casseroles.
Height:
Whether
conventional
or
microwave
cooking
methods
are
used,
areas
of
food
close
to
the
energy
source
may
need
to
be
turned
or
shielded
for
even
cooking.
Shape
and
Size:
For
more
even
cooking
results,
choose
food
pieces
that
are
similar
in
size
and
shape.
Arrange
small,
thin
pieces
toward
the
center
of
the
dish
and
thicker
pieces
toward
the
outside
of
the
dish.
Sugar,
Fat
and
Moisture:
Food
with
high
sugar,
fat
and
moisture
content
cooks
faster
than food
low
in
these
elements.
SPECIAL
TECHNIQUES
IN
MICROWAVE
COOKING
Browning:
Meat
and
poultry
with
high
fat
content
that
are
cooked
10-15
minutes
or
longer,
will
brown
lightly.
Food
that
is
cooked
for
a
shorter
period
of
time,
may
be
brushed
with
a
browning
agent
to
achieve
an
appetizing
color.
The
most
commonly
used
browning
sauces
are
Worcestershire
sauce,
soy
sauce,
barbecue
sauce
and
bouquet
sauce.
Covering:
A
cover
traps
heat
and
steam
causing
the
food
to
cook
more
quickly.
You
may
either
use
a
lid
or
plastic
wrap
with
a
corner
folded
back,
for
excess
steam
to
escape.
Waxed
paper
effectively
prevents
food
from
spattering
and
helps
food
to
retain
some
heat.
Sandwiches
and
many
other
foods
can
be
wrapped
in
paper
towels
to
prevent
them
from
drying
out.
Spacing:
Individual
foods
such
as
baked
potatoes,
cupcakes,
and
hors
d'oeuvres
will
heat
more
evenly
if
placed
in
the
oven
an
equal
distance
apart,
preferably
in
a
circular
pattern.
Stirring:
Stirring
is
an
important
microwaving
technique.
Microwaved
foods
are
stirred
in
order
to
blend
flavors
and
redistribute
heat.
Always
stir
from
the
outside
toward
the
inside,
since
the
outside
of
the
food
cooks
first.
Turning
over:
Larger
size
food
such
as
roasts
and
whole
poultry
should
be
turned,
so
that
the
top
and
bottom
will
cook
evenly.
It
is
also
a
good
idea
to
turn
chicken
pieces
and
chops.
Arrangement:
Since
microwaves
cook
from
the
outside-in,
it
makes
sense
to
place
thicker
portions
of
meat,
poultry
and
fish
to
the
outer
edge
of
the
baking
dish.
This
way,
thicker
portions
will
receive
the
most
microwave
energy
and
the
food
will
cook
evenly.
Shielding:
Strips
of
aluminum
foil,
which
reflect
microwaves,
are
sometimes
placed
over
the
corners
or
edges
of
square
and
rectangular
shaped
pans
to
prevent
those
portions
from
over
cooking.
Keep
foil
at
least
one
inch
away
from
the
oven
walls.
Testing
for
doneness:
Because
food
cooks
so
quickly
in
a
microwave
oven,
it
is
necessary
to
test
for
doneness
frequently.
Most
foods
are
removed
from
the
oven
while
still
slightly
undercooked,
and
finish
cooking
during
standing
time.
The
internal
temperature
of
food
will
rise
from
5°F
to
15°F
during
standing
time.
Piercing:
To
prevent
bursting,
food
enclosed
in
a
shell,
skin
or
membrane
must
be
pierced
prior
to
cooking.
Such
foods
include
both
the
yolks
and
whites
of
eggs,
clams
and
oysters,
and
many
whole
vegetables,
such
as
potatoes
and
squash.

INTRODUCTION
MICROWAVE-SAFE
UTENSILS
Never
use
metal
or
metal-trimmed
utensils
in
your
microwave
oven.
Microwaves
cannot
penetrate
metal.
They
will
bounce
off
metal
objects
in
the
oven
and
cause
"arcing",
which
resembles
lightning.
Most
heat-resistant,
nonmetallic
cooking
utensils
are
safe
for
use
in
your
microwave
oven.
However,
some
may
contain
materials
that
render
them
unsuitable
for
microwave
cooking.
If
you
have
any
doubts
about
a
particular
utensil,
there's
a
simple
way
to
find
out
if
it
can
be used
in
your
microwave
oven.
Testing
Utensils
for
Microwave
Use:
Place
the
utensil
in
question
next
to
a
glass
measure
filled
with
water,
in
the
microwave
oven.
Microwave
at
(Power
Level
10)
for
1-2
minutes.
If
the
water
heats
up,
but the
utensil
remains
cool,
the
utensil
is
microwave-safe.
However,
if
the
utensil
becomes
warm,
microwaves
are
being
absorbed
by
the
utensil
and
it
should
not
be used
in
the
microwave
oven.
You
probably
have
many
items
on
hand
in
your
kitchen
right
now
that
can
be
used
as
cooking
equipment
in
your
microwave
oven.
Read
through
the
following
checklist.
When
popping
a
popcorn;
Place
carefully
bag
does
not
touch
oven
walls.
Fold
each
end
of
the
bag
in
half
toward
the
center
top
of
the
bag.
1.
Dinner
Plates:
Many
kinds
of
tableware
are
microwave
safe.
If
in
doubt,
consult
the
manufacturer's
literature
or
perform
the
microwave
dish
test.
2.
Glassware:
Some
glassware
that
is
heatresistant
is
microwave-safe.
This
would
include
most
brands
of
oven-tempered
glass
cookware.
Do
not,
however,
use
delicate
tumblers,
wine
glasses,
etc.
in
the
oven,
as
they
are
likely
to
shatter.
3.
Paper:
Paper
plates
and
containers
without
wax
coatings
are
convenient
and
safe
to
use
in
your
microwave
oven,
for
short
cooking
times.
Paper
towels
are
also
very
useful
for
absorbing
moisture
and
grease.
In
general,
use
white
paper
products.
4.
Plastic
Storage
Containers:
These
can
be
used
to
hold
foods
that
are
to
be
quickly
reheated.
However,
they
should
not
be used
to
heat
foods
that
will
need
considerable
time
in
the
oven,
as
hot
foods
will
eventually
warp
or
melt
the
container.
5.
Cooking
Bags:
Cooking
bags
are
microwave
safe.
However,
be
sure
to
make
a
slit
in
the
bag
so
that
steam
can
escape.
Substitute
string
for
metal
twist
ties.
6.
Plastic
Microwave
Cookware:
A
variety
of
cookware
is
available.
Certain
special
items
such
as
plastic
ring
molds,
muffin
pans,
etc.
are
convenient.
Check
the
manufacturer's
instructions.
7.
Pottery,
Stoneware
and
Ceramic:
Containers
made
of
these
materials
are
usually
fine
for
use
in
your
microwave
oven.
They
should
be
checked
by
using
the
dish
test.

Time
Variations:
Foods
available
vary
throughout
the
country
and
may
cause
cooking
times
to
differ
from
those
given
in
the
Cooking
Guide.
For
this
reason,
cooking
times
given
are
approximate.
Factors
that
may
affect
cooking
time
include
starting
temperature,
volume,
size
and
shape
of
foods
and
utensils
used.
As
you
become
more
familiar
with
the
oven,
you
will
be
able
to
adjust
the
timing
to
these
factors.
Cooking

impurities
which
when
combined
with
hot
fat
could
cause
sparking
(arcing)
or
fires
when
used
for
cooking
in
the
microwave
oven.
Do

CAREOF
YOUR
MICROWAVE
OVEN
PRECAUTIONS
TO
CLEAN
YOUR
OVEN:
1.
Keep
the
inside
of
the
oven
clean.
Food
spatters
or
spilled
liquids
stick
to
oven
walls
and
between
seal
and
door
surface.
It
is
best
to
wipe
up
spillovers
with
a
damp
cloth
right
away.
Crumbs
and
spillovers
will
absorb
microwave
energy
and
lengthen
cooking
times.
Use
a
damp
cloth
to
wipe
out
crumbs
that
fall
between
the
door
and
the
frame.
It
is
important
to
keep
this
area
clean
to
assure a
tight
seal.
Remove
greasy
spatters
with
a
sudsy
cloth,
then
rinse
and
dry.
Do
not
use
harsh
detergent
or
abrasive
cleaners.
The
glass
tray
can
be
washed
by
hand
or
in
the
dishwasher.
2.
Keep
the
outside
of
the
oven
clean.
Clean
the
outside
of
your
oven
with
soap
and
water
then
with
clean
water
and
dry
with
a
soft
cloth
or
paper
towel.
To
prevent
damage
to
the
operating
parts
inside
the
oven,
the
water
should
not
be
allowed
to
seep
into
the
ventilation
openings.
To
clean
the
control
panel,
open
the
door
to
prevent
the
oven
from
accidentally
starting,
and
wipe
with
a

Press
STOP/CLEAR
after
cleaning.
3.
If
steam
accumulates
inside
or
around
the
outside
of
the
oven
door,
wipe
the
panels
with
a
soft
cloth.
This
may
occur
when
the
microwave
oven
is
operated
under
high
humidity
conditions
and
in
no
way
indicates
a
malfunction
of
the
unit.
Do
not
attempt
to
tamper
with
or
make
any
adjustments
or
repairs
to
door
control
panel,
safety
interlock
switches,
or
any
other
part
of
the
oven.
Repairs
should
be
made
by
qualified
service
personnel
only.
Be
certain
to
place
the
front
surface
of

programming
of
the
electronic
units,
touch
the
center
of
each
pad
securely.
Do
not
touch
several
pads
at
one
time
or
touch
between
pads.
A
beep
sound
should
be
heard
with
each
touch
when
a
pad
is
touched
correctly.
Do
not
hit
or
strike
the
control
with
objects
such
as
silverware,
utensils,
etc.
Breakage
may
occur.
Be
careful
when
taking
the
cooking
utensils
out
of
the
oven.
Some
dishes
absorb
heat
from
the
cooked
food
and
may
be
hot.
Do
not
rinse
cooking
utensils
by
immediately
placing
them
into
water
just
after
cooking.
This
may
cause
breakage.
Allow
the
turntable
to
cool.
Use
only
specific
glass
utensils.
See
cooking
utensils
section
in
this
manual.
Do
not
operate
the
oven
empty.
Either
food
or
water
should
always
be
in
the
oven
during
operation
to
absorb
microwave
energy.
Do
not
heat
unopened
food
containers
in
the
oven.
Pressure
build-up
can
cause
the
container
to
burst,
resulting
in
injury.
Do
not
use
your
microwave
oven
to
dry
newspapers
or
clothes.
They
can
catch
fire.
Only
use
thermometers
approved
for
microwave
oven
cooking.
Be
certain
the
turntable
is
in
place
when
you
operate
the
oven.
Pierce
the
skin
of
potatoes,
whole
squash,
apples,
or
any
fruit
or
vegetable
which
has
a
skin
covering
before
cooking.
Never
use
your
microwave
oven
to
cook
eggs
in
the
shell.
Pressure
can
build
up
inside
the
shell
causing
it
to
burst.
Do
not
pop
popcorn,
except
in
a
microwave-
safe
container
or
commercial
package
designed
especially
for
microwave
ovens.
Never
try
to
pop
popcorn
in
a
paper
bag
not
designed
for
microwave
oven
use.
Overcooking
may
result
in
smoke
and
fire.
Do
not
repop
unpopped
kernels.
Do
not
reuse
popcorn
bags.
Q.
Why
won't
the
oven
light
will
glow?
A.
There
may
be
several
reasons
why
the
oven
light
will
not
glow.
Light
bulb
is
burned
out.
START
has
not
been
touched.
Q.
Does
microwave
energy
pass
through
the
viewing
screen
in
the
door?
A.
No.
The
holes,
or
ports,
are
made
to
allow
light
to
pass;
they
do
not
let
microwave
energy
through.
Q.
Why
does
the
beep
tone
sound
when
a
pad
on
the
Control
Panel
is
touched?
A.
The
beep
tone
sounds
to
assure
that
the
setting
is
being
entered
properly.
Q.
Will
the
microwave
oven
be
damaged
if it
operates
while
empty?
A.
Yes.
Never
run
it
empty
or
without
the
glass
tray.
Q.
Why
do
eggs
sometimes
pop?
A.
When
baking,
frying,
or
poaching
eggs,
the
yolk
may
pop
due
to
steam
build
up
inside
the
yolk
membrane.
To
prevent
this,
simply
pierce
the
yolk
before
cooking.
Never
microwave
eggs
in
the
shell.
Q.
Why
is
standing
time
recommended
after
microwave
cooking
is
over?
A.
After
microwave
cooking
is
finished,
food
keep
on
cooking
during
standing
time.
This
standing
time
finishes
cooking
evenly
throughout
the
food.
The
amount
of
standing
time
depends
on
the
density
of
the
food.
Q.
Is
it
possible
to
pop
popcorn
in
a
microwave
oven?
A.
Yes,
if
using
one
of
the
two
methods
described
below:
(1)
Popcorn-popping
utensils
designed
specifically
for
microwave
cooking.
(2)
Prepackaged
commercial
microwave
popcorn
that
contains
specific
times
and
power
outputs
needed
for
an
acceptable
final
product.
FOLLOW
EXACT
DIRECTIONS
GIVEN
BY
EACH
MANUFACTURER
FOR
ITS
POPCORN

UNATTENDED
WHILE
THE
CORN
IS
BEING
POPPED.
IF
CORN
FAILS
TO
POP
AFTER
THE
SUGGESTED
TIMES,
DISCONTINUE
COOKING.
OVERCOOKING
COULD
RESULT
IN
AN
OVEN
FIRE.
CAUTION:
NEVER
USE A
BROWN
PAPER
BAG FOR
POPPING
CORN.
NEVER
ATTEMPT
TO POP
LEFTOVER
KERNELS.
Q.
Why
doesn't
my
oven
always
cook
as
fast
as
the
cooking
guide
says
it
should?
A.
Check
your
cooking
guide
again
to
make
sure
you've
followed
the
directions
correctly,
and
to
see
what
might
cause
variations
in
cooking
time.
Cooking
guide
times
and
heat
settings
are
suggestions,
chosen
to
help
prevent
over-cooking,
the
most
common
problem
in
getting
used
to
a
microwave
oven.
Variations
in
the
size,
shape,
weight
and
dimensions
of
the
food
could
require
a
