INFORMATI N YOU NEED TO KNOW

About Your Oven

This Use and Care Guide isvaluable: read it carefully

and always save it for reference.

NEVER use the oven without the turntable and

support nor turn the turntable over so that a large

dish could be placed in the oven. The turntable will

turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.

ALWAYS have food in the Microwave Oven when it

is on to absorb the microwave energy.

When using the oven at power levels below 100%,

you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. :It

is normal for the exterior of the oven to be warm to

the touch when cooking or reheating.

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cook-

ing. Room humidity and the moisture in food will

influence the amount of moisture that condenses in

the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as

much condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation

openings must not be blocked.

The Microwave Oven is for food preparation only. It

should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your Microwave Oven is rated 1050 watts by using

the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package

directions, check food a minute or two before the

minimum time and add time accordingly.

About Microwave Cooking

Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas

towards outside of dish.

o Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest

amount of time indicated and add more as

needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke

or ignite.

Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or

cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax

paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Cov-

ers prevent spattering and help foods to cook

evenly.

Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any

thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent over-

cooking before dense, thick areas are cooked

thoroughly.

Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or

twice during cooking, if possible.

- Turn foods over once during microwaving to

speed cooking of such foods as chicken and

hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be

turned over at least once.

Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway

through cooking both from top to bottom and

from the center of the dish to the outside.

Add standing time. Remove food from oven

and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time

which allows the food to finish cooking without

overcooking.

Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating

that cooking temperatures have been reached.

Doneness signs include:

Food steams throughout, not just at edge.

Center bottom of dish is very hot to the

touch.

Poultry thigh joints move easily.

Meat and poultry show no pinkness.

Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

iNFORMATiON YOU NEED TO KNOW

About Safety

o Check foods to see that they are cooked to the

United States Department of Agriculture's recom-

mended temperatures.

160QF FOr fresh pork, ground meat, fish,

(71°C) seafood, egg dishes, frozen prepared

food and beef, tamb or veat cut into

steaks, chops or roasts cooked to

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in

a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER

leave the thermometer in the food during cooking,

unless it is approved for microwave use.

ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when

handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.

Enough heat from the food can transfer through

utensils to cause skin burns.

Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from

the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge

of a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn

and oven cooking bags away from the face.

Stay near the oven while it's in use and check

cooking progress frequently so that there is no

chance of overcooking food.

NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or

other items.

Select, store and handle food carefully to pre-

serve its high quality and minimize the spread of

foodborne bacteria.

- Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can

cause arcing and/or fires.

Use care when removing items from the oven so

that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do

not touch the safety door latches.

Keep aluminum foi! used for shielding at least

1 inch away from walls, ceiling and door.

.&bout Children and the Microwave

Children below the age of 7 should use the

microwave oven with a supervising person very

near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the

supervising person should be in the same room.

The child must be able to reach the oven comfort-

ably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing

on the oven door.

Children should be taught all safety precautions:

use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay

special attention to packages that crisp food

because they may be extra hot.

Don't assume that because a child has mastered one

cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is

not a toy. See page 32 for Child Lock feature.

Manual Defrost

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the

Defrost chart or is above or below the limits in the Amount

column on the Defrost chart (see page 22-23), you need

to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously

cooked, by using power level for 30%.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of

thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example,

defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate

the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at

the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven

in $ minute increments on power level 30% until totally

defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only

long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in

a microwave-safe dish.

R COOKING

Sensor cooking has an electronic controlled sensor that

detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the

food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and

power level for various foods and quantities automatically.

Using Sensor Settings:

1. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the

interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with

a dry cloth or paper towel.

2. The oven works with foods at normal storage tem-

perature. For example, popcorn would be at room

temperature.

3. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart

should be cooked following the guidelines in any micro-

wave cookbook.

4. During the first part of SENSORCOOKING, food name will

appear in the display. Do not open the oven door or press

the STOP clear pad during this part of the cycle. The

measurement of vapor will be interrupted.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the

food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may

be opened when remaining cooking time appears in the

display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as

desired.

5. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when pop-

ping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the correct time

of day will be displayed. If the sensor does not detect

vapor properly when cooking other foods, AN ERROR

CODE will be displayed, and the oven will turn off.

6. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional

time is needed, continue to cook manually.

Covering Foods:

Some foods cook better when covered.

1. Casserole lid.

2. Plasticwrap: Use plasticwrap recommended for microwave

cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately 1/2 inch

to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic

wrap should not touch food.

3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap

under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap

two pieces at least one inch to cover.

Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to

escape away from you.

Sensor Cook

You can cook foods by pressing the sensor cookpad

multiple times. You don't need to calculate cooking

time or power level.
