SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

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

• The metal shelf (ifincluded) not installedcorrectly so it touches themicrowave wall.

• The temperature probe(if included) in themicrowave but notinserted in the food.

• Metal or foil touchingthe side 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 the microwave.

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—are able toexplode and should notbe heated in thismicrowave oven. Such useof the microwave ovencould result 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 to the oven and couldstart a fire. It increasesthe heat around themagnetron and canshorten the life of the oven.

• Foods with unbrokenouter “skin” such aspotatoes, hot dogs,sausages, tomatoes,apples, chicken livers and other giblets, andegg yolks should bepierced to allow steam to escape duringcooking.

FOODS

SAFETY FACTSUPERHEATED WATER

Liquids, such as water,coffee or tea, are able to be overheated beyond theboiling point withoutappearing to be boiling.Visible bubbling or boilingwhen the container isremoved from the microwaveoven is not always present.THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDSSUDDENLY BOILING OVERWHEN THE CONTAINER ISDISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL ISINSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injuryto persons:

— Do not overheat theliquid.

— Stir the liquid bothbefore and halfwaythrough heating it.

— Do not use straight-sided containers withnarrow necks.

— After heating, allow thecontainer to stand inthe microwave oven for a short time beforeremoving the container.

— Use extreme care wheninserting a spoon orother utensil into thecontainer.

• Avoid heating baby foodin glass jars, even withthe lid off. Make sure allinfant food is thoroughlycooked. Stir food todistribute the heat evenly.Be careful to preventscalding when warmingformula or breast milk.The container may feelcooler than the milkreally is. Always test themilk before feeding the baby.

• 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 to your oven.

• Cook meat and poultrythoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNALtemperature of 160°F and poultry to at least anINTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking tothese temperaturesusually protects againstfoodborne illness.

Make sure all cookware usedin your microwave oven issuitable for microwaving.Most glass casseroles,cooking dishes, measuringcups, custard cups, potteryor china dinnerware whichdoes not have metallic trimor glaze with a metallicsheen can be used. Somecookware is labeled “suitablefor microwaving.”

• If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe,use this test: Place in theoven both the dish you are testing and a glassmeasuring cup filled with 1 cup of water—set themeasuring cup either in or next to the dish.Microwave 1 minute athigh. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving.

If the dish remains cooland only the water in thecup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.

• If you use a meat thermometer whilecooking, make sure it is safe for use inmicrowave ovens.

• Do not use recycled paperproducts. Recycled papertowels, napkins and waxedpaper can contain metalflecks which may causearcing or ignite. Paperproducts containing nylonor nylon filaments shouldbe avoided, as they mayalso ignite.

• Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat ispackaged on) have a thinstrip of metal embedded in the bottom. Whenmicrowaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

• Do not use the microwaveto dry newspapers.

• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use inmicrowave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

• Paper towels, waxed paperand plastic wrap can beused to cover dishes inorder to retain moistureand prevent spattering. Besure to vent plastic wrap sosteam can escape.

• Cookware may become hotbecause of heat transferredfrom the heated food. Potholders may be needed tohandle the cookware.

• “Boilable” cookingpouches and tightly closedplastic bags should be slit,pierced or vented asdirected by package. If they are not, plasticcould burst during orimmediately 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

How to test for a microwave-safe dish.

• Use foil only as directed in this manual.When using foil in themicrowave oven, keep thefoil at least 1″ away fromthe sides of the oven.

• Plastic cookware—Plasticcookware designed formicrowave cooking isvery useful, but should be used carefully. Evenmicrowave-safe plasticmay not be as tolerant ofovercooking conditionsas are glass or ceramicmaterials and may softenor char if subjected toshort periods ofovercooking. 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 to use 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. Do not allow grease to build up on themicrowave or the fan filter.

• 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 filter.Corrosive cleaningagents, such as lye-basedoven cleaners, maydamage the filter.

• When preparing flaming foods under the microwave, turn the fan on.

• Never leave surface unitsbeneath your microwaveoven unattended at highheat settings. Boiloverscause smoking and greasy spillovers that mayignite and spread if themicrowave vent fan isoperating. To minimizeautomatic fan operation,use adequate sizedcookware and use highheat on surface unitsonly when necessary.

Variable power levels addflexibility to microwavecooking. The power levelson the microwave oven canbe compared to thesurface units on a range.High (power level 10) orfull power is the fastest wayto cook and gives you100% power. Each powerlevel gives 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 and needless stirring or rotating ofthe 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 is shown with power level3—the defrost cycle. Ifmicrowave energy did notcycle off, the outside of thefood would cook beforethe inside 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 tenderizing such as stews and less tender cuts of meat.

Low 2 or 3 Defrosting without cooking; simmering; delicate sauces.

Warm 1 Keeping food warm without overcooking; softening butter.

Time Features

Allows you to defrost for thelength of time you select. Seethe Defrosting Guide forsuggested times.

Power level 3 is automaticallyset, but you may change thisfor more flexibility. You maydefrost small items morequickly by raising the powerlevel after entering the time.However, they will need morefrequent attention than usual.

Power level 7 cuts the totaldefrosting time in about half;power level 10 cuts the totaltime to approximately 1/3.Rotate or stir food frequently.

At one half of selecteddefrosting time, the ovensignals TURN. At this time,turn food over and breakapart or rearrange pieces formore even defrosting. Shieldany warm areas with smallpieces of foil.

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

Defrosting Tips

• Foods frozen in paper orplastic can be defrosted inthe package. Tightly closedpackages should be slit,pierced or vented AFTERfood has partially defrosted.Plastic storage containersshould be at least partiallyuncovered.

• Family-size, prepackagedfrozen dinners can bedefrosted and microwaved.If the food is in a foilcontainer, transfer it to amicrowave-safe dish.

• Foods that spoil easily, suchas milk, eggs, fish, stuffings,poultry and pork, shouldnot be allowed to sit out for more than one hourafter defrosting. Roomtemperature promotes thegrowth of harmful bacteria.

• For more even defrosting oflarger foods, such as beef,lamb and veal roasts, useAuto Defrost.

• Be sure large meats are completely defrosted beforecooking.

• When defrosted, foodshould be cool but softenedin all areas. If still slightly icy,return to the microwave verybriefly, or let it stand a fewminutes.

How to Use the ShelfWhen Microwaving

Food microwaves bestwhen placed on theturntable or on the shelf in the lower position.

Only use the shelf whenreheating on more thanone level. Do not store theshelf inside the oven cavity.

The shelf gives you theoption to reheat more than one dish of food atthe same time.

• Make sure the shelf is positioned properly inside the microwave to prevent damage to the oven from arcing.

• Do not use a microwave browning dish on the shelf. The shelf could overheat.

• Do not use the oven with the shelf on the microwave floor. This could damage the microwave.

• Use pot holders when handling the shelf—it may be hot.

• Do not use the shelf when cooking popcorn.

• Do not use the shelf with Sensor Cookingor Reheat.

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

• 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.
