GETTINGTOKNOWYOURMICROWAVEOVENThis section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basicsyou need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you useyour microwave oven.

HowYOURMICROWAVEOVENWORKSMicrowave ovens are safe. Microwave energy isnot hot. It causes food to make its own heat, andit's this heat that cooks the food.

Microwaves are like TV waves or light waves. Youcannot see them, but you can see what they do.

A magnetron in the microwave oven producesmicrowaves. The microwaves move into the ovenwhere they contact food as it turns on the turntable.

Magnetron

Oven cavity

The glass turntable of your microwave oven letsmicrowaves pass through. Then they bounce off ametal floor, back through the glass turntable, andare absorbed by the food.

Metal floor Glass turntable

Page 10: UseECare - PartSelect...5. Untape the door and replace the turntable and support. 6. Replace the vent grille. 7. Replace the two screws in the top of microwave oven cabinet (the screws

HowYOURMICROWAVEOVENWORKS(CONT.)Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and

plastics without heatingthem so food absorbs

the energy. Microwavesbounce off metal con-tainers so food does

not absorb the energy.

Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast.The heat spreads tothe center from theouter, cooked areasjust as in regular ovencooking. This is oneof the reasons forletting some foods(for example, roastsor baked potatoes)stand for a while aftercooking, or for stirring

some foods during the cooking time.The microwaves disturb water molecules in the

food. As the molecules bounce around bumpinginto each other, heat is made, like rubbingyour hands together. This is the heat that doesthe cooking.

TimeS_" TIP

mAlways cook food for the shortest cookingtime recommended. Check to see how thefood is cooking. If needed, touch ADDMINUTE while the oven is operating orafter the cooking cycle is over (see the"Using ADD MINUTE" section).

oTo help make sure the food is eventycooked, stir, turn over, or rearrange thefood about halfway through the cookingtime.

• If you do not have a cover for a dish, usewax paper, or microwave-approved papertowels or plastic wrap. Remember to turnback a corner of the plastic wrap 1/.,to 1/2inches (6 mm to 1.2 cm) to vent steamduring heating or cooking.

NOTE: Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavablecookware is not suitable and it is difficult tomaintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.

RADIOINTERFERENCEUsing your microwave oven may cause interferenceto your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When thereis interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:

• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces ofthe oven.

• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radioor television.

• Moving the radio or IV away from the microwaveoven.

• Plugging the microwave oven into a differentoutlet so that the microwave oven and radio or IVare on different branch circuits.

TESTINGYOURMICROWAVEOVENTo test the oven put about 1 cup (250 mL) of cold

water in a glass container in the oven.Close the door and make sure itlatches. Follow the directions in"Cooking at high cook power" inthe "Using Your Microwave Oven"

section to set the oven to cook for 2 minutes.When the time is up, the water should be heated.

Page 11: UseECare - PartSelect...5. Untape the door and replace the turntable and support. 6. Replace the vent grille. 7. Replace the two screws in the top of microwave oven cabinet (the screws

JESTINGYOURDINNERWAREORCOOKWARETest dinnerware or cookware before using.

To test a dish for safeuse, put it into the ovenwith a cup of waterbeside it. Cook at 100%cook power for 1 minute.If the dish gets hot andwater stays cool, donot use it.

Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware,etc.) absorb microwave energy, becoming too hot to

: handle and slowing cooking times. Cooking in metalcontainers not designed for microwave use coulddamage the oven, as could containers with hiddenmetal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glazeor trim).

OPERATINGSAF PRECAUTIONSNever cook or reheat a whole egg inside the

shell. Steam buildupin whole eggs maycause them to burstand burn you, andpossibly damage theoven. Slice hard-boiledeggs before heating.In rare cases, poachedeggs have been knownto explode. Coverpoached eggs and

allow a standing time of 1 minute before cuttinginto them.

For best results, stir any liquid several timesduring heating orreheating. Liquidsheated in certaincontainers (especiallycontainers shaped likecylinders) may becomeoverheated. The liquidmay splash out with aloud noise during orafter heating or whenadding ingredients

(coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harmthe oven and possibly injure someone.

Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on itwhen the door is open.

Injury could result.

J

Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heatcontainers, but the heatfrom the food can make

the container hot.

OPERATINGSAFETYPRECAUTIONS(CONT.)Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could result. At

the end of the recom-mended cooking time,potatoes should beslightly firm becausethey will continue cook-ing during standingtime. After micro-waving, let potatoesstand for 5 minutes.They will finish cookingwhile standing.

Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty.

Product life may beshortened.If you practice

programming the oven,put a container ofwater in the oven oruse the Demo/learningfeature (see "Using thedemo/learning feature"later in this section).

It is normal for theoven door to look wavy after the oven has beenrunning for a while.

Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in theoven. Fire could result.

Do not dry flowers,fruit, herbs, wood,paper, gourds, orclothes in the oven.Fire could result.

Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffinwax will not melt in amicrowave oven because

_ t allows microwaves to

pass through it.

iii

Do not operate the microwave oven unless theglass turntable issecurely in place andcan rotate freely on thesupport rollers. Theturntable can rotate ineither direction.

Make sure the rollersare completely insidethe center circle of theturntable; this will let theturntable rotate properly.

Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in theoven. Carefully place the cookware on yourturntable to avoid possibly breaking it.

Handle your turntable with care when removingit from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If yourturntable cracks or breaks, contact your dealer fora replacement.

When you use a browning dish, the browningdish bottom must be at least 3/16inch (5 mm) abovethe turntable. Follow the directions supplied with thebrowning dish.

ELECTRICALCONNECTIONIf your electric power line or outlet voltage is

less than 110 volts,Circuit breakeror fuse cooking times may be

longer. Have a qualifiedelectrician check yourelectrical system.

COOKINGGUIDEMICROWAVECOOKINGTIPS

Amountoffood• If you increase or decrease the amount of food

you prepare, the time it takes to cook that foodwill also change. For example, if you double arecipe, add a little more than half the originalcooking time. Check for doneness and, ifnecessary, add more time in small increments.

Startin_temperatureoffood• The lower the temperature of the food being

put into the microwave oven, the longer it takesto cook. Food at room temperature will be re-heated more quickly than food at refrigeratortemperature.

Compositionoffood• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated

faster than food containing a lot of water. Fat andsugar will also reach a higher temperature thanwater in the cooking process.

• The more dense the food, the longer it takesto heat. "Very dense" food like meat takes longerto reheat than lighter, more porous food likesponge cakes.

Sizeandshape• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than

larger pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cookmore evenly than different-shaped pieces.

• With foods that have different thicknesses,the thinner parts will cook faster than the thickerparts. Place the thinner parts of chicken wingsand legs in the center of the dish.

Stirring,turnin_jfoods• Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly

to the center of the dish and avoids overcookingat the outer edges of the food.

Coverin_foodCover food to:

• Reduce splattering

• Shorten cooking times

• Keep food moist

You can use any covering that lets microwaves passthrough.

Releasing,pressureinfoods• Several foods (for example: baked potatoes,

sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightlycovered by a skin or membrane. Steam can buildup under the membrane during cooking, causingthe food to burst. To relieve the pressure and toprevent bursting, pierce these foods beforecooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.

Using]standin_time• Always allow food to stand after cooking. Stand-

ing time after defrosting and cooking allows thetemperature to evenly spread throughout the food,improving the cooking results.

• The length of the standing time depends onhow much food you are cooking and how denseit is. Sometimes it can be as short as the time ittakes you to remove the food from the oven andtake it to the serving table. However, with larger,denser food, the standing time may be as longas 10 minutes.

MICROWAVECOOKINGTIPS¢CONT.)Arran in foodFor best results, place food evenly on the plate.You can do this in several ways:

• If you are cooking several items of the samefood, such as baked potatoes, place them in aring pattern for uniform cooking.

• When cooking foods of uneven shapes orthickness, such as chicken breasts, place thesmaller or thinner area of the food towards thecenter of the dish where it will be heated last.

• Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.

• When you cook or reheat whole fish, score theskin - this prevents cracking.

• Do not let food or a container touch the top orsides of the oven. This will prevent possiblearcing.

Usin aluminumfoilMetal containers should not be used in a microwaveoven. There are, however, some exceptions. If youhave purchased food which is prepackaged in analuminum foil container, refer to the instructions onthe package. When using aluminum foil containers,cooking times may be longer because microwaveswill only penetrate the top of the food.

If you use aluminum containers without packageinstructions, follow these guidelines:• Place the container in a glass bowl and add some

water so that it covers the bottom of the container,not more than 1/4inch (6 mm) high. This ensureseven heating of the container bottom.

• Always remove the lid to avoid damage tothe oven.

• Use only undamaged containers.

• Do not use containers taller than 3/4inch (19 ram).• Container must be at least half filled.

• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum1/4inch (6 ram) between the aluminum containerand the walls of the oven and also between twoaluminum containers.

• Always place the container on the turntable.

• Reheating food in aluminum foil containers usuallytakes up to double the time compared to reheatingin plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. Thetime when food is ready will vary depending uponthe type of container you use.

• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating sothat heat is spread evenly throughout container.

Cookin youshouldnotdoinyourmicrowaveoven• Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed

glass jars may explode, resulting in damage tothe oven or possible personal injury.

• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects(baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven atthe high temperature needed for safe sterilization.

QUESnONSANDANSWE QUESTIONS ANSWERS

Can I operate my microwave oven without theturntable or turn the turntable over to hold alarge dish?

Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that Imay reheat or cook on two levels at a time?

Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in mymicrowave oven?

Is it normal for the turntable to turn ineither direction?

Sometimes the door of my microwave ovenappears wavy. Is this normal?

What are the humming noises that I hear when mymicrowave oven is operating?

Why does the dish become hot when I microwavefood in it? I thought that this should not happen.

What does "standing time" mean?

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?How do I get the best results?

You can turn off the turntable to heat 2 dinnerplates side by side or one dish that's larger thanthe turntable. However, if you only need to heatone plate on the turntable, keep the turntable on forbest cooking results. Also, you should not turn overthe turntable. A plate used on the turntable must fiton it when the turntable is correct side up.

You can use a rack only if the rack is suppliedwith your microwave oven. If you use a rack notsupplied with the microwave oven, you can getpoor cooking performance and/or arcing.

You can use aluminum foil for shielding (usesmall, flat pieces), small skewers, and shallowfoil trays (if tray is 3/4inch [19 ram] deep or less andhalf filled with food to absorb microwave energy).Never allow metal to touch walls or door. (Formore information, see "Using aluminum foil" inthe "Cooking Guide" section.)

Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise, depending on the rotation of themotor when the cooking cycle begins.

This appearance is normal and does not affect theoperation of your oven.

You hear the sound of the transformer when themagnetron tube cycles on.

As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heatto the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads toremove food after cooking.

"Standing time" means that food should beremoved from the oven and covered for additionaltime to allow it to finish cooking. This frees theoven for other cooking.

Steam is normally produced during cooking. Themicrowave oven has been designed to vent thissteam out the vent.

Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcornfollowing manufacturer's guidelines or use thesensor POPCORN pad. Do not use regular paperbags. Use the "listening test" by stopping theoven as soon as the popping slows to a "pop'!every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repop unpoppedkernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.
