IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOIDPOSSIBLE EXPOSURE TOEXCESSIVE MICROWAVE

ENERGYA. DO NOT attempt to operate this oven with the

door open since open door operation can resultin harmful exposure to microwave energy. It isimportant not to defeat or tamper with the safe-ty interlocks.

B. DO NOT place any object between the ovenfront face and the door to allow soil or cleanerresidue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

C. DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It isparticularly important that oven door closeproperly and that there is no damage to:1. door (bent),2. hinges and latches (broken or loosened),3. door seals and sealing surfaces.

D. Oven should not be adjusted or repaired byanyone except properly qualified service per-sonnel.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage,observe the following:

1. Be certain to place the front surface of the doorthree inches away or more from the countertopedge to avoid accidental tipping of the appliancein normal usage.

2. For the most accurate programming of the elec-tronic units, touch the center of each pad secure-ly. Do not touch several pads at one time or touchbetween pads. A beep sound should be heardwith each touch when a pad is touched correctly.

3. Do not hit or strike the control with objects such assilverware, utensils, etc. Breakage may occur.

4. Be careful when taking the cooking utensils out ofthe oven. Some dishes absorb heat from thecooked food and may be hot.

5. Do not rinse cooking utensils by immediately plac-ing them into water just after cooking. This maycause breakage. Allow the turntable to cool.

6. Use only specific glass utensils. See cookingutensils section in this manual.

7. Do not operate the oven empty. Either food orwater should always be in the oven during opera-tion to absorb microwave energy.

8. Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspa-pers or clothes. They can catch fire.

9. Use only thermometers approved for microwaveoven cooking.

10. Be certain the turntable is in place when you oper-ate the oven.

11. Pierce the skin of potatoes, whole squash,apples, or any fruit or vegetable which has a skincovering before cooking.

12. Never use your microwave oven to cook eggs inthe shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell,causing it to burst.

13. Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safecontainer or commercial package designed espe-cially for microwave ovens. Never try to pop pop-corn in a paper bag not designed for microwaveoven use. Overcooking may result in smoke andfire. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not reusepopcorn bags.

CAUTION

Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to beoverheated beyond the boiling point without appear-ing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid.Visible bubbling or boiling when the container isremoved from the microwave oven is not always pre-sent. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQ-UIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN ASPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTOTHE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

1. Do not overheat the liquid.

2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway throughheating it.

3. Do not use straight-sided containers with nar-row necks.

4. After heating, allow the container to stand in themicrowave oven for a short time before remov-ing the container.

5. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon orother utensil into the container.

Installation

➣ To avoid risk of electricalshock or death, this ovenmust be grounded.

➣ To avoid risk of electricalshock or death, do not alterthe plug.

WARNING

Grounding InstructionsOven MUST be grounded.Grounding reduces risk of electricshock by providing an escape wirefor the electric current if an electricalshort occurs. This oven is equippedwith a cord having a grounding wirewith a grounding plug. The plug mustbe plugged into an outlet that is prop-erly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or ser-vicer if grounding instructions are notcompletely understood, or if doubtexists as to whether the oven is prop-erly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. Ifthe product power cord is too short,have a qualified electrician install athree-slot receptacle. This ovenshould be plugged into a separate 60hertz circuit with the electrical ratingas shown in specifications table.When the combination oven is on acircuit with other equipment, anincrease in cooking times may berequired and fuses can be blown.

Microwave operates on standardhousehold current, 110-120V.

CIRCUITSFor safety purposes this oven mustbe plugged into a 15 or 20 Ampcircuit. No other electrical appliancesor lighting circuits should be on thisline. If in doubt, consult a licensedelectrician.

VOLTAGEThe voltage used at the wall recepta-cle must be the same as specified onthe oven name plate located insideoven door. Use of a higher voltage isdangerous and may result in a fire orother type of accident causing ovendamage. Low voltage will cause slowcooking.

Other Helpful Information

GETTING THE BESTRESULTS FROM YOURMICROWAVE OVENKeep an eye on things. Theinstructions in this book havebeen formulated with great care,but your success in preparing fooddepends, of course, on how muchattention you pay to the food as itcooks. Always watch your food whileit cooks. Your microwave oven isequipped with a light that turns onautomatically when the oven is inoperation so that you can see insideand check the progress of yourrecipe. Directions given in recipes toelevate, stir, and the like should bethought of as the minimum steps rec-ommended. If the food seems to becooking unevenly, simply make thenecessary adjustments you thinkappropriate to correct the problem.

Factors affecting cooking times.Many factors affect cooking times.The temperature of ingredients usedin a recipe makes a big difference incooking times. For example, a cakemade with ice-cold butter, milk, andeggs will take considerably longer tobake than one made with ingredientsthat are at room temperature. All ofthe recipes in this book give a rangeof cooking times. In general, you willfind that the food remains under-cooked at the lower end of the timerange, and you may sometimes wantto cook your food beyond the maxi-mum time given, according to per-sonal preference. The governing phi-losophy of this book is that it is bestfor a recipe to be conservative in giv-ing cooking times. While under-cooked food may always be cookeda bit more, overcooked food is ruinedfor good. Some of the recipes, partic-ularly those for bread, cakes, andcustard, recommend that food beremoved from the oven when theyare slightly undercooked. This is nota mistake. When allowed to stand,usually covered, these foods will con-tinue to cook outside of the oven asthe heat trapped within the outer por-

tions of the foods gradually travelsinward. If the foods are left in theoven until they are cooked all the waythrough, the outer portions willbecome overcooked or even burned.

As you gain experience in using yourmicrowave oven, you will becomeincreasingly skillful in estimating bothcooking and standing times for vari-ous foods.

SPECIAL TECHNIQUESIN MICROWAVECOOKINGBrowning: Meats and poultry thatare cooked fifteen minutes or longerwill brown lightly in their own fat.Foods that are cooked for a shorterperiod of time may be brushed with abrowning sauce to achieve an appe-tizing color. The most commonlyused browning sauces areWorcestershire sauce, soy sauce,and barbecue sauce. Since relativelysmall amounts of browning saucesare added to foods, the original flavorof recipes is not altered.

Covering: A cover traps heat andsteam and causes food to cook morequickly. You may either use a lid ormicrowave cling-film with a cornerfolded back to prevent splitting.

Covering with waxed paper:Waxed paper effectively preventsspattering and helps food retainsome heat. Since it makes a loosercover than a lid or cling-film, it allowsthe food to dry out slightly.

Wrapping in waxed paper or papertowel: Sandwiches and many otherfoods containing prebaked breadshould be wrapped prior tomicrowaving to prevent drying out.

Arranging and spacing: Individualfoods such as baked potatoes, smallcakes, and hors d’oeuvres will heatmore evenly if placed in the oven andequal distance apart, preferably in acircular pattern. Never stack foods ontop of one another.

Stirring: Stirring is one of the mostimportant of all microwaving tech-niques. In conventional cooking,foods are stirred for the purpose ofblending. Microwaved foods, howev-er, are stirred in order to spread andredistribute heat. Always stir from theoutside towards the center as theoutside food heats first.

Turning over: Large, tall foods suchas roasts and whole chickens shouldbe turned so that the top and bottomwill cook evenly. It is also a good ideato turn cutup chicken and chops.

Placing thicker portions near theedge : Since microwaves are attract-ed to the outside portion of foods, itmakes sense to place thicker por-tions of meat, poultry and fish to theouter edge of the baking dish. Thisway, thicker portions will receive themost microwave energy and thefoods will cook evenly.

Elevating: Thick or dense foods areoften elevated so that microwavescan be absorbed by the undersideand center of the foods.

Piercing: Foods enclosed in a shell,skin, or membrane are likely to burstin the oven unless they are piercedprior to cooking. Such foods includeboth yolks and whites of eggs, clamsand oysters, and many whole veg-etables and fruits.

Testing if cooked: Because foodscook so quickly in a microwave oven,it is necessary to test food frequently.Some foods are left in the microwaveuntil completely cooked, but mostfoods, including meats and poultry,are removed from the oven while stillslightly undercooked and allowed tofinish cooking during standing time.The internal temperature of foods willrise between 5° F (3° C) and 15° F(8° C) during standing time.

7

Standing time: Foods are oftenallowed to stand for 3 to 10 minutesafter being removed from themicrowave oven. Usually the foodsare covered during standing time toretain heat unless they are supposedto be dry in texture (some cakes andbiscuits, for example). Standingallows foods to finish cooking andalso helps flavors to blend and devel-op.

HOW FOODCHARACTERISTICSAFFECT MICROWAVECOOKINGDensity of foods: Light, porous foodlike cakes and breads cook morequickly than heavy, dense foods suchas roasts and casseroles. You musttake care when microwaving porousfoods that the outer edges do notbecome dry and brittle.

Height of foods: The upper portionof tall foods, particularly roasts, willcook more quickly than the lower por-tion. Therefore, it is wise to turn tallfoods during cooking, sometimesseveral times.

Moisture content of foods: Sincethe heat generated from microwavestends to evaporate moisture, relative-ly dry foods such as roasts and somevegetables should either be sprinkledwith water prior to cooking or coveredto retain moisture.

Bone and fat content of foods:Bones conduct heat and fat cooksmore quickly than meat. Therefore,care must be taken when cookingbony or fatty cuts of meat that themeats do not cook unevenly and donot become overcooked.

NOTE: It is a common misconceptionthat microwaves cook food from theinside out. This comes from heatingfilled pastries with a high sugar con-tent, like jelly doughnuts. The pastryis cool but the filling is very hot! If youcook a chicken or a roast, you’ll seethe outside is cooked first.

Shape of foods: Microwaves pene-trate only about 1 inch (2.5cm) intofoods; the interior portion of thickfoods is cooked as the heat generat-ed on the outside travels inward. Inother words, only the outer edge ofany food is actually cooked bymicrowave energy; the rest is cookedby conduction.

It follows then that the worst possibleshape for a food that is to bemicrowaved is a thick cube. The cor-ners will burn long before the centeris even warm. Round, thin, and ringshaped foods cook most successful-ly in the microwave.

Quantity of foods: The number ofmicrowaves in your oven remainsconstant regardless of how muchfood is being cooked. Therefore, themore food you place in the oven, thelonger the cooking time. Rememberto decrease cooking times by at leastone-third when halving a recipe.

Cooking Utensils

To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do not use stoneware, aluminum foil, metal utensils, or metaltrimmed utensils in the oven.

CAUTION

MICROWAVE-SAFEUTENSILSNever use metal or metal-trimmedutensils in your microwave oven:Microwaves cannot penetrate metal.They will bounce off any metal objectin the oven and cause arcing, analarming phenomenon that resem-bles lightning. Most heat-resistantnon-metallic cooking utensils aresafe for use in your microwave oven.However, some may contain materi-als that render them unsuitable asmicrowave cookware. If you haveany doubts about a particular utensil,there is a simple way to find out if itcan be used in your microwave oven.

Testing utensils for microwaveuse: Place the utensil in questionnext to a glass bowl filled with waterin the microwave oven. Microwave atpower HIGH for 1 minute. If the waterheats up but the utensil remains coolto the touch, the utensil ismicrowave-safe. However, if thewater does not change temperaturebut the utensil becomes warm,microwaves are being absorbed bythe utensil and it is not safe for use inthe microwave oven. You probablyhave many items on hand in yourkitchen that can be used as cookingequipment in your microwave oven.

Just read through the followingchecklist.

1. Dinner plates: Many kinds ofdinnerware are microwave-safe.If in doubt, consult the manu-facturer's literature or performthe microwave test, above.

2. Glassware: Glassware that isheat-resistant is microwave-safe. This includes all brands ofoventempered glass cookware.However, do not use delicateglassware, such as tumblers orwine glasses, as these mightshatter as the food warms.

3. Paper: Paper plates and con-tainers are convenient andsafe to use in your microwaveoven, provided the cookingtime is short and foods to becooked are low in fat andmoisture. Paper towels are alsovery useful for wrapping foodsand for lining baking trays inwhich greasy foods, such asbacon, are cooked. In general,avoid colored paper products asthe color may run.

4. Plastic storage containers:These can be used to hold foodsthat are to be quickly reheated.However, they should not beused to hold foods that will needconsiderable time in the oven ashot foods will eventually warp ormelt plastic containers.

5. Plastic cooking bags: Theseare microwave-safe providedthey are specially made forcooking. However, be sure tomake a slit in the bag so thatsteam can escape. Never useordinary plastic bags for cookingin your microwave oven, as theywill melt and rupture.

6. Plastic microwave cookware:A variety of shapes and sizes ofmicrowave cookware is avail-able. For the most part, you canprobably cook with items youalready have on hand ratherthan investing in new kitchenequipment.

7. Pottery, stoneware, andceramic: Containers made ofthese materials are usually finefor use in your microwave oven,but they should be tested to besure.
