UTENSIL TEST  
Dishes that do not absorb microwave energy are best for microwave  
cooking. Lock on the label to verify that particular cups, glasses,  
plates are indeed suitable, especially paper goods. If you are not  
sure, try this utensil test to check.  
Put the empty utensil in the microwave oven.  
Put one cup of water in a glass measure next to the empty utensil.  
Heat on P-HI for 1 minute.  
After 1 minute the water should be warm but the utensil should not.  
If the utensil is warm, it is not suitable for microwave cooking.  
COOKING UTENSILS  
Recommended Use  
glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes - Use for heating or cooking.  
Microwave browning dish - Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or  
pancakes. follow the directions provided with you browning dish.  
Microwaveable plastic wrap - Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape  
and avoid placing it directly on the food.  
Wax paper - Use as a cover to prevent spattering.  
Paper towels and napkins - Use for short term heating and covering; they absorb excess moisture and  
prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can eatch fire.  
Thermometers - Use only those labeled Microwave Safeand follow all directions. Check the food in  
several places. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the  
oven.  
Limited Use  
Aluminum foil - Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil  
can damage your oven, so be careful.  
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware - use these if they are labeled Microwave Safe.If they are not  
labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metalic trim.  
Plastic - Use only if labeled Microwave Safe.Other plastics can melt.  
Straw, wicker, and wood - Use only for short-term heating, as they can be flammable.  
Not Recommended  
Glass jars and bottles - Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave, and can shatter.  
Paper bags - These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.  
Styrofoam plates and cups - These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.  
Plastic storage and food containers - Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.  
Metal utensils - These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.

COOKING TECHNIQUES  
Stirring  
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly.  
Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to  
the center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.  
Arrangement  
arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward  
the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place  
thin or delicate parts toward the center of the turntable.  
Shielding  
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. areas that need shielding include  
poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts  
of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.  
turning  
Turning  
Turn foods oven midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially  
important with large items such as roasts.  
Standing  
Standing  
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and cotinue to cook for a few minutes after the  
oven stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables.  
Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids,  
such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a  
moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the temperature before serving.  
Adding Moisture  
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be  
covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food  
to help it cook.

DEFROSTING GUIDE  
GENERAL INFORMATION  
Put the food on a microwave rack (roasts, bone-in pieces) or in a microwave casserole (small pieces  
such as cubes or strips) or weigh at home on a kitchen scale. Round number to the nearest tenth of a  
pound and choose that number with each item pads.  
The shape of food items, especially larger ones, will vary affect the way defrost. Always check the  
status after the standing time. Fish, seafood and poultry should still be somewhat icy in the center the  
held under cold running water to finish defrosting. If more time is needed, use DEFROST by time to  
add time in small increments.  
Halfway through the defrosting process, a series of beeps will indicate that it is time to change the  
position of the item being defrosted. The includes turning over or rotating the item, separating defrosted  
pieces or sections, or shielding.  
Shielding means to use a 2-inch strip of aluminum foil to protect thinner or unevenly shaped part from  
beginning to cook. Microwave energy will not penetrate the foil. Some rules apply to the use of foil:  
Do not let the foil pieces touch each other or the sides of the microwave oven.  
Be sure that all ends are touched under and lie flat to the food.  
Remember to adjust foil when a item is turned over and cover with wax paper.  
To prepare food for freezer storage(and later defrosting), wrap tightly in moisture proof packaging. If  
using freezer plastic bags, be sure to let all the air out to prevent freezer bump on the food. Package so  
that food is as evenly shaped as possible ease in defrosting

Do not place any object between the oven front frame and the door or allow residue to build up on  
sealing surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.  
Do not subject the oven door strain or weight such as a child hanging on an open door.  
This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury to you and damage to the oven.  
Do not operate the oven if door seals or sealing surfaces are damaged, or if door is bent, or if hinges are  
loose or broken.  
Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage the oven.  
Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.  
Do not use recycled paper products as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks or fires.  
Do not hit or strike the control panel with hard objects. This can damage the oven.  
Food  
Never use your microwave oven for home canning. The oven is not designed for proper home canning.  
Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.  
Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It is better to undercook rather than over cook foods.  
Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for more cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be  
done.  
Heat small quantities of food or foods with low moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn or  
catch on fire.  
Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up and eggs can explode.  
Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are examples of food with non-porous skins.  
These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.  
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.  
Always stir liquids before heating. Heated liquids can erupt, if not mixed with air.  
Do not pop popcorn in a paper bag unless it is the commercially prepared Microwave Popcorn product.  
The kernels can overheat and ignite a brown paper bag.  
Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturerssuggested popping time. Longer popping does  
not yield more popcorn but it can result in scorch burn of fire. Remember, the popcorn bag and tray can  
be too hot to handle. Remove with caution and use pot holders.  
ARCING  
If you see arcing, press STOP/CLEAR pad and correct the problem.  
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:  
Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.  
Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).  
Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold rimmed dishes, in the microwave.  
Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any food in it. Is it damaged?  
A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven.  
However, it is not recommended.  
Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray or roller guide removed?  
A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must always be used in the oven before cooking.  
Q : Can I open the door when the oven is operating?  
A : The door can be opened anytime during the cooking operation. Then microwave energy will be instantly  
switched off and the time setting will maintain until the door is closed and START is touched.  
Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven after cooking?  
A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is normal. It is caused by steam form cooking  
food heating the cool oven surface.  
Q : Dose microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?  
A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes are made to  
allow light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.  
Q : Why do eggs sometimes pop?  
A : When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane.  
To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never cook eggs without  
piercing their shells.  
Q : Why is standing time recommended after the cooking operation has been completed?  
A : Standing time is very important.  
With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in the oven. Many foods build up enough  
internal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the  
oven. Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes allows the inside to cook  
completely, without overcooking the outside.  
Q : What does standing timemean?  
A : Standing timemeans that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time  
to allow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking.  
Q : Why does my oven not always cook as fast as the microwave cooking guide says?  
A : Check your cooking guide again, to make sure youve followed directions exactly ; and to see what  
might cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, to  
help prevent over-cooking... the most common problem in getting used to a microwave oven.  
Variations in the size, shape and weights and dimensions could require longer cooking time. Use  
your own judgement along with the cooking guide suggestions to check whether the food has been  
properly cooked just as you would do with a conventional cooker.  
Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty?  
A : Yes. Never run it empty.  
Q : Can I operate my microwave oven without the turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a large  
dish?  
A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your  
oven must fit on the turntable.  
Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?  
A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor  
when the cooking cycle begins.  
Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results?  
A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufactures guidelines or use the preset  
POPCORN pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the listening testby stopping the oven as  
soon as the popping slows to a popevery 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do  
not pop popcorn in glass cookware.
