Special Notes About Microwaving

Arcing is the microwaveterm for sparks in the oven.Arcing is caused by:

• The temperature probein the microwave but notinserted in the food.

• The metal shelf notinstalled correctly so ittouches the microwavewall.

• Metal or foil touching theside of the oven.

• Foil not molded to food(upturned edges act likeantennas).

• Metal, such as twist-ties,poultry pins, or gold-rimmed dishes, in themicrowave.

• Recycled paper towelscontaining small metalpieces being used in themicrowave.

If you see arcing, pressthe CLEAR/OFF pad andcorrect the problem.

Arcing

• Do not pop popcorn inyour microwave ovenunless in a specialmicrowave popcornaccessory or unless youuse popcorn labeled foruse in microwave ovens.

• Some products such aswhole eggs and sealedcontainers—for example,closed jars—will explodeand should not be heatedin this microwave oven.Such use of themicrowave oven couldresult in injury.

• Do not boil eggs in amicrowave oven. Pressurewill build up inside eggyolk and will cause it toburst, possibly resultingin injury.

• Operating the microwavewith no food inside formore than a minute ortwo may cause damage tothe oven and could start afire. It increases the heataround the magnetronand can shorten the lifeof the oven.

• Foods with unbrokenouter “skin” such aspotatoes, hot dogs,sausages, tomatoes,apples, chicken livers andother giblets, and eggyolks should be piercedto allow steam to escapeduring cooking.

Foods

• Avoid heating baby foodin glass jars, even with thelid off. Make sure allinfant food is thoroughlycooked. Stir food todistribute the heatevenly. Be careful toprevent scalding whenwarming formula orbreast milk. The containermay feel cooler than themilk really is. Always testthe milk before feedingthe baby.

• Spontaneous boiling—Under certain specialcircumstances, liquidsmay start to boil duringor shortly after removalfrom the microwave oven.To prevent burns fromsplashing liquid, werecommend the following:before removing thecontainer from the oven,allow the container tostand in the oven for 30to 40 seconds after theoven has shut off. Do notboil liquids in narrow-necked containers suchas soft drink bottles, wineflasks and especiallynarrow-necked coffeecups. Even if thecontainer is opened,excessive steam can buildup and cause it to burstor overflow.

• Don’t defrost frozenbeverages in narrow-necked bottles (especiallycarbonated beverages).Even if the container isopened, pressure canbuild up. This can causethe container to burst,possibly resulting ininjury.

• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Becareful when opening any containers of hotfood, including popcornbags, cooking pouchesand boxes. To preventpossible injury, directsteam away from handsand face.

• Do not overcookpotatoes. They coulddehydrate and catch fire, causing damage toyour oven.

• When cooking pork,follow the directionsexactly and always cookthe meat to an internaltemperature of at least170°F. This assures that,in the remote possibilitythat trichina may bepresent in the meat, itwill be killed and meatwill be safe to eat.

SAFETYFACTSUPERHEATED WATER

Microwaved water and other liquids do notalways bubble whenthey reach the boilingpoint. They can actuallyget superheated and notbubble at all.

Superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved orwhen something like aspoon or tea bag is putinto it.

To prevent this fromhappening and causinginjury, do not heat anyliquid for more than 2minutes per cup. Afterheating, let the cup stand in the microwavefor 30 seconds beforemoving it or puttinganything into it.


Special Notes About Microwaving

Make sure all cookwareused in your microwaveoven is suitable formicrowaving. Most glasscasseroles, cooking dishes,measuring cups, custardcups, pottery or chinadinnerware which does nothave metallic trim or glazewith a metallic sheen canbe used. Some cookware islabeled “suitable formicrowaving.”

• If you are not sure if adish is microwave-safe,use this test: Place in theoven both the dish youare testing and a glassmeasuring cup filled with1 cup of water—set themeasuring cup either inor next to the dish.Microwave 1 minute athigh. If the dish heats, itshould not be used formicrowaving. If the dishremains cool and only thewater in the cup heats,then the dish ismicrowave-safe.

• If you use a meat ther-mometer while cooking,make sure it is safe foruse in microwave ovens.

• Do not use recycledpaper products. Recycledpaper towels, napkinsand waxed paper cancontain metal fleckswhich may cause arcingor ignite. Paper productscontaining nylon ornylon filaments shouldbe avoided, as they mayalso ignite.

• Some styrofoam trays(like those that meat ispackaged on) have a thinstrip of metal embeddedin the bottom. Whenmicrowaved, the metalcan burn the floor of theoven or ignite a papertowel.

• Do not use paperproducts when themicrowave/convectionoven is operated in theconvection orcombination mode.

• Do not use the microwaveto dry newspapers.

• Not all plastic wrap issuitable for use in micro-wave ovens. Check thepackage for proper use.

• Paper towels, waxedpaper and plastic wrapcan be used to coverdishes in order to retainmoisture and preventspattering. Be sure tovent plastic wrap so steamcan escape.

• Cookware may becomehot because of heattransferred from theheated food. Pot holdersmay be needed to handlethe cookware.

• “Boilable” cookingpouches and tightlyclosed plastic bags shouldbe slit, pierced or ventedas directed by package. Ifthey are not, plastic couldburst during or immed-iately after cooking,possibly resulting in injury.Also, plastic storagecontainers should be atleast partially uncoveredbecause they form a tightseal. When cooking withcontainers tightly coveredwith plastic wrap, removecovering carefully anddirect steam away fromhands and face.

Microwave-SafeCookware

• Use foil only as directedin this guide. TV dinnersmay be microwaved infoil trays less than 3/4″high; remove the top foilcover and return the trayto the box. When usingfoil in the microwaveoven, keep the foil atleast 1 inch away from thesides of the oven.

• Plastic cookware—Plasticcookware designed formicrowave cooking is veryuseful, but should be usedcarefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be astolerant of overcookingconditions as are glass orceramic materials andmay soften or char ifsubjected to short periodsof overcooking. In longerexposures to over-cooking, the food andcookware could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

1 Use microwave-safeplastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookwaremanufacturer’srecommendations.

2 Do not microwave emptycontainers.

3 Do not permit children touse plastic cookwarewithout completesupervision.

The fan will operateautomatically undercertain conditions (seeAutomatic Fan feature).Take care to prevent thestarting and spreading ofaccidental cooking fireswhile the vent fan is in use.

• Clean the underside ofthe microwave often. Donot allow grease to buildup on the microwave orthe fan filters.

• In the event of a greasefire on the surface unitsbelow the microwaveoven, smother a flamingpan on the surface unitby covering the pancompletely with a lid, acookie sheet or a flat tray.

• Use care when cleaningthe vent fan filters.Corrosive cleaningagents, such as lye-basedoven cleaners, maydamage the filters.

• When flaming foodsunder the microwave,turn the vent fan off. Thefan, if operating, mayspread the flame.

• Never leave surface unitsbeneath your microwaveoven unattended at highheat settings. Boiloverscause smoking and greasyspillovers that may igniteand spread if themicrowave vent fan isoperating. To minimizeautomatic fan operation,use adequate sizedcookware and use highheat on surface units onlywhen necessary.

Microwave/Convection Cooking

Microwave cooking usesvery short, high frequencyradio waves. The movementof the microwaves throughthe food creates heat andcooks most foods fasterthan regular methods.Microwave cooking heatsthe food, not the cookwareor the interior of the oven.

Convection cookingconstantly circulatesheated air around thefood. It creates evenbrowning and sealed-inflavor by the motion of hotair over the food surfaces.

Using a combination ofmicrowave and convectioncooking is also an option.

You can cook by time or by temperature. Whencooking by temperature,the temperature probemonitors the internaltemperature of the food to let you know when it is ready.

How It Works

Cookware

Convection Cooking

Metal pans are recom-mended for all types ofbaked products.

Dark or dull finish metalpans are best for breadsand pies because theyabsorb heat and producecrisper crust.

Shiny aluminum pans arebetter for cakes, cookies ormuffins because these pansreflect heat and helpproduce a light, tendercrust.

Use glass or glass-ceramiccasserole or baking dishesfor egg and cheese recipesbecause they are easier toclean.

Combination Cooking

Use glass or glass-ceramicbaking containers. Do notuse cookware with metaltrim. It may cause arcingwhich can damage thecookware, the shelf or theoven.

Variable power levels addflexibility to microwavecooking. The power levelson the microwave oven canbe compared to the surfaceunits on a range. High(power level 10) or fullpower is the fastest way tocook and gives you 100%power. Each power levelgives you microwaveenergy a certain percent ofthe time. Power level 7 ismicrowave energy 70% ofthe time. Power level 3 isenergy 30% of the time.

A high setting (10) willcook faster but food mayneed more frequentstirring, rotating or turningover. Most cooking will bedone on High (power level10). A lower setting willcook more evenly andneed less stirring orrotating of the food.

Some foods may havebetter flavor, texture orappearance if one of thelower settings is used. Usea lower power level whencooking foods that have atendency to boil over, suchas scalloped potatoes.

Rest periods (when themicrowave energy cyclesoff) give time for the food

to “equalize” or transferheat to the inside of thefood. An example of this isshown with power level 3—the defrost cycle. If micro-wave energy did not cycleoff, the outside of the foodwould cook before theinside was defrosted.

Here are some examples of uses for various powerlevels:

Power Level Best Uses

High 10 Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.

Med-High 7 Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casserolesand reheating.

Medium 5 Slow cooking and tenderiz-ing such as stews and less tender cuts of meat.

Low 3 Defrosting without cooking; simmering; delicate sauces.

Warm 1 Keeping food warm without overcooking; softening butter.

Time Features

Allows you to defrost forthe length of time youselect. See the DefrostingGuide for suggested times.

Power level 3 is automati-cally set, but you maychange this for more flexi-bility. You may defrostsmall items more quicklyby raising the power levelafter entering the time.However, they will needmore frequent attentionthan usual.

Power level 7 cuts the totaldefrosting time in abouthalf; power level 10 cutsthe total time to approxi-mately 1/3. Rotate or stirfood frequently.

At one half of selecteddefrosting time, the ovensignals TURN. At this time,turn food over and breakapart or rearrange piecesfor more even defrosting.Shield any warm areas withsmall pieces of foil.

A dull thumping noise maybe heard during defrosting.This sound is normal whenthe oven is not operating atHigh power.

Defrosting Tips• Foods frozen in paper or

plastic can be defrostedin the package. Tightlyclosed packages shouldbe slit, pierced or ventedAFTER food has partiallydefrosted. Plastic storagecontainers should be atleast partially uncovered.

• Family-size, prepackagedfrozen dinners can bedefrosted and micro-waved. If the food is in afoil container, transfer itto a microwave-safe dish.

• Foods that spoil easily,such as milk, eggs, fish,stuffings, poultry andpork, should not beallowed to sit out formore than one hour after defrosting. Roomtemperature promotesthe growth of harmfulbacteria.

• For more even defrostingof larger foods, such asbeef, lamb and vealroasts, use Auto Defrost.

• Be sure large meats are completely defrostedbefore cooking.

• When defrosted, foodshould be cool butsoftened in all areas. If stillslightly icy, return to themicrowave very briefly, orlet it stand a few minutes.

The Temperature Probe

The temperature probe is a food thermometer thatmonitors the temperatureof the food. The probemust be used when usingTemp Cook/Hold,Convection TemperatureCook, CombinationTemperature Cook, orCombination Roast.

The probe is notrecommended for batters,doughs, frozen foods andfoods which are difficult to cook precisely bytemperature. Use theMicro Cook setting forthese foods.

• Make sure the cable endis inserted all the way intothe oven wall receptacle.

• Insert the probe into thecenter of the food. Makesure the handle does nottouch the food or the topor sides of the oven.

• Do not leave the probe in the oven if it’s notinserted in food. If ittouches the oven wall, itmay damage the oven.

Cooking Tips

• Do not twist, drop orbend the probe.

• Be sure frozen food hasbeen completelydefrosted beforeinserting the probe. Theprobe may break off ifused in frozen foods.

• Cover foods loosely formoisture control andquick, even heating.

• Use a lower power levelwith the probe; foods willtake longer to cook butthey will heat moreevenly.

What happens when youuse the probe…

Cooking with theprobe allows you toheat food to a certaintemperature. This isthe best way to cookmany foods.

Helpful Information

Microwave Terms

Arcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

• the temperature probe staying in the oven but not inserted in the food.

• the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the microwave walls.

• metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

• foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

• metal such as twist ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.

• recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

Covering Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.

Shielding In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry,which would cook before larger parts.

Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.

Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.
