Containers and CoversAppropriate containers and coverings help assuregood cooking results.

● Always use microwave-safe containers and coverthem with lids or vented plastic wrap. Wonder ifit’s microwave-safe? Put it to the test described inthe Microwaving Tips section.

● Never use tight-sealing plastic covers—they canprevent steam from escaping and cause food toovercook.

● Match the amount of food to the size of thecontainer. Fill containers at least half full forbest results.

● Be sure the outside of the cooking container andthe inside of the microwave oven are dry beforeplacing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turninginto steam can mislead the sensor.

● Stir or rotate some foods after a beeping signal, ifrequired. See Automatic Cooking Control Guide.

Use microwave-safe casseroles orbowls for entrees and vegetables.Cover with lids that fit. If lids arenot available, use plastic wrap orwax paper. Plastic wrap should bevented over food to allow forescaping steam. Seal by pressingplastic wrap firmly around edges.

For frozen entrees in paperboardtrays, remove tray from box but donot remove film over tray. Thickentrees may take longer to cook—see the Automatic CookingControl Guide.

The wire shelf is specifically designed for added capacity Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods whichin your microwave oven. Now more than one food may need to be prepared from scratch should be cookedbe heated or reheated and ready to serve at the same time. without the oven shelf.

Positioning the ShelfTo position the DOUBLEDUTYTM shelf, tip theback slightly and fit theshelf support guides ontothe support guides locatedon each side of the ovenin the rear.

Next, lower the front untilthe shelf support guides fitonto the support guideslocated at each side ofthe oven in the front.

When properly positioned,the shelf should fit snugly Hmin place, be level and not touch the back or side wall ofthe oven.

If arcing occurs when using the shelf to cook morethan one food at the same time, turn the oven off.Make sure the shelf is not touching oven walls. Toprevent arcing, remove the shelf when you are notusing it.

How to Reheat Several Different ~pes of Foods TogetherWhen heating several different types of food together,foods which should be served hot must be placed on theshelf, while foods which need only to be warmedshould be placed on the oven floor. This is becausemicrowave energy enters the oven from the top only.Also, it is important to remember that foods absorbmicrowave energy at different rates. Rates can beaffected by the size of the food, and its startingtemperature.

Because of the varying rates, you may need to startreheating a large or dense food a few minutes aheadof time, then add other smaller or less dense foods.Alternately, if one of the foods you are heating seemsundercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily,let the underheated food continue cooking.

Heat or reheat different types of food at High (10).To determine heating times, add times for all foodstogether. After half of time, stir or rearrange foods

(do not reverse positions). Check foods (especiallythose on the oven floor) after 3/4 of total time andremove any which are done. Continue cooking others.

GLOSSARY OF MICROWAVE TERMS

When adapting recipes for the microwave, it is bestto start with a familiar recipe. fiowing how thefood shodd look and taste will help when adaptingrecipes for microwaving. Foods that requirebrowning or crisp, dry surfaces will cookbetter in regular ovens.● Moist foods, such as vegetables, fruits, poultry and

seafood, microwave well.● Rich foods, such as bar cookies, moist cakes and

candies, are suitable for microwaving because of theirhigh fat and sugar content.

● Reduce regular oven cooking times by one-half toone-third. Check food after minimum time to avoidovercooking.

● Small amounts of butter or oil can be used forflavoring, but are not needed to prevent sticking.

● Seasonings may need to be reduced. Salt meatsand vegetables after cooking.

Covering. In both regular baking and microwavecooking, covers hold in moisture, allow for moreeven heating and reduce cooking time. In regularovens, partial covering allows excess steam to escape.Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper servesthe same purpose when microwaving.Venting. After covering a dish with plastic wrap, youvent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner soexcess steam can escape.Arranging Food in Oven. When baking in regularovens, you position foods, such as cake layers orpotatoes, so hot air can flow around them. Whenmicrowaving, you arrange foods in a ring, so thatall sides are exposed to microwave energy.

Stirring. In range-top cooking, you stir foods up fromthe bottom to heat them evenly. When microwaving,you stir cooked portions from the outside to the center.Foods that require constant stirring will need onlyoccasional stirring when microwaving.~rning Over. In range-top cooking, you turn overfoods, such as hamburgers, so both sides can directlycontact the hot pan. When microwaving, turning isoften needed during defrosting or when cookingcertain foods, such as frozen hamburgers.Standing Time. When you cook with regular ovens,foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand tofinish cooking or to set. Standing time is especiallyimportant in microwave cooking. Note that amicrowaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.Shielding. In a regular oven, you shield chickenbreasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning.When microwaving, you use small strips of foil toshield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legson poultry, which would cook before larger parts.Arcing. Sparks caused by too much metal in themicrowave oven or metal touching the side of theoven or foil that is not molded to food.Prick Foods to Release Pressure. Steam builds uppressure in foods that are tightly covered by a skin ormembrane. Prick foods, such as potatoes (as you dobefore regular oven cooking), egg yolks and chickenlivers, to prevent bursting.Rotating. Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the ovenhelps food cook more evenly. To rotate 1/2 turn, turn thedish until the side that was to the back of the oven is tothe front. To rotate 1/4 turn, turn the dish until the sidethat was to the back of the oven is to the side.

Basic Microwave GuidelinesDensity of Food. In both regular baking andmicrowave cooking, dense foods, such as potatoes,take longer to cook than light, porous foods, such asrolls, bread or pieces of cake.Round Shapes. Since microwaves penetrate foodsto about one inch from top, bottom and sides, roundshapes and rings cook more evenly. Corners receivemore energy and may overcook. This may also happenwhen cooking in a regular oven.Delicacy. Foods with a delicate texture, such ascustards, are best cooked at lower power settings toavoid toughening.Natural Moisture of food affects how it cooks. Verymoist foods cook evenly because microwave energyis attracted to water molecules. Food that is unevenin moisture should be covered or allowed to standso it heats evenly.

Piece Size. Small pieces cook faster than large ones.Pieces that are similar in size and shape cook moreevenly. With large pieces of food, reduce the powersetting for even cooking.Shape of Food. In both types of cooking, thin areascook faster than thick areas. This can be controlled inmicrowaving by placing thick pieces near the outsideedge and thin pieces in the center.Starting Temperature. Foods taken from the freezeror refrigerator take longer to cook than foods at roomtemperature. Timings in our recipes are based on thetemperatures at which you normally store the foods.Quantity of Food. In both types of cooking, smallamounts usually take less time than large amounts.This is most apparent in microwave cooking, wheretime is directly related to the number of servings.Shelf (on models so equipped). Use the shelf to heatmore than one dish at a time. Take the shelf out whenyou are not using it.

Use of Adapter Plugs

adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTION may be made to a properly groundedtwo-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listedadapter (Fig. 2) which is available at most localhardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with thelarger slot in the wall receptacle to provide properpolarity in the connection of the power cord.

Caution: Attaching the adapter ground terminal tothe wall receptacle cover screw does not ground theappliance unless the cover screw is metal, and notinsulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded throughthe house wiring. You should have the circuit checkedby a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacleis properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is notdone, the adapter ground terminal is very likely tobreak with repeated use. Should this happen, DONOT USE the appliance until a proper ground hasagain been established.

Usage situations where appliance’spower cord will be disconnectedfrequently.Do not use an adapter plug in these situationsbecause frequent disconnection of the power cordplaces undue strain on the adapter and leads toeventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. Youshould have the two-prong wall receptacle replacedwith a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by aqualified electricfinbefore u~ing th~ appliance.

Use of Extension CordsA short power-supply cord is provided to reduce therisks resulting from becoming entangled in or trippingover a longer cord.

Longer cord sets or extension cords are available andmay be used if care is exercised in their use.

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 theelectrical rating of the appliance;

2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a3-slot outlet;

3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it willnot drape over the counter top or tabletop where itcan be pulled on by children or tripped overunintentionally.

If you use an extension cord, the interior light mayflicker and the blower sound may vary when themicrowave oven is on. Cooking times may belonger, too.
