MESURES DE SECURITE IMPORTANTES
1. Pour éviter toute ébullition ou éruption spontanée,
remuer vigoureusement ou verser les liquides
avant de les chauffer au four à micro-ondes. Ne
pas trop chauffer. Si de l’air n’a pas été incorporé
dans le liquide, celui-ci peut déborder dans le
four ou après en avoir été retiré.
2. Ne pas faire de friture dans le four. La graisse
pourrait surchauffer et devenir dangereuse à
manipuler.
3. Les oeufs ne doivent pas être chauffés ou
réchauffés au four à micro-ondes dans leur
coquille ou avec leur jaune intact ; cela pourrait
provoquer une accumulation de pression et
l’éclatement de l’oeuf. Percer le jaune avec
une fourchette ou un couteau avant la cuisson.
4. Percer la peau des pommes de terre, tomates et
aliments similaires avant de les cuire au four à
micro-ondes. Lorsque la peau est percée, la
vapeur peut s’échapper uniformément.
5. Ne pas faire fonctionner l’appareil sans nourriture
à l’intérieur.
6. Pour faire du pop-corn, utiliser uniquement du
maïs en paquet spécial micro-ondes (indiqué sur
l’étiquette). Le temps nécessaire pour faire
éclater le maïs varie en fonction de la puissance
du four. Ne pas continuer à faire chauffer le maïs
une fois qu’il a fini d’éclater, car il peut brûler ou
s’enflammer. Ne pas laisser le four sans
surveillance.
7. Ne pas utiliser de thermomètre de cuisson pour four
traditionnel dans le four. La plupart des
thermomètres de cuisson contiennent du mercure
qui peut causer des arcs électriques ou le mauvais
fonctionnement du four, ou encore endommager
celui-ci.
8. Ne pas faire chauffer de biberon au four.
9. Ne pas utiliser d’ustensiles métalliques dans le four.
10. Ne jamais utiliser de papier, de plastique ni autre
matériau combustible non prévu pour la cuisson.
11. Si la cuisson utilise du papier, du plastique ou autre
matériau combustible, suivre les recommandations
du fabricant concernant son utilisation.
12. Ne pas utiliser de serviettes en papier contenant du
nylon ou autres fibres synthétiques. Ces fibres
pourraient fondre et faire enflammer le papier.
13. Ne pas faire chauffer de récipients ni de sacs en
plastique hermétiquement fermés dans le four. La
nourriture ou le liquide pourrait gonfler rapidement et
faire éclater le récipient ou le sachet. Percer ou
ouvrir celui-ci avant de le faire
chauffer.
14. Pour éviter toute défaillance de stimulateur
cardiaque, prière de se renseigner auprès du
médecin ou du fabricant du stimulateur au

Installation Cooking Guidelines
TheAmana Microwave Ovencanmake your jobeasier.
You’llcookaheadandpre-portion more. You’llalsospend
lesstime preparing special-order dishes.
To be sure of consistently good results, remember a few
simpleguidelines.
How Microwave Ovens Heat Food
Allfood and liquidmolecules have positiveandnegative
particles which are in constant, but slow, motion. (Positive
andnegativesattract and repel each other like magnets.)
Inmicrowavecookingthismolecularactionisthen
accelerated.The instant microwavesbombard food they
agitate the molecules. Agitation causes friction as
molecules rub and bump into each other at a increased
rate. Friction results in heat that cooks food and boils
water.
Once the microwaves stop, this friction action continues
byitself, eventually tapering offandreturning to normal
molecularaction.
Microwaves penetrate food to a short depth.
As cooking begins, heat is spread by conduction to the
interiorportionof the food just as in conventional cooking
methods.Yourmicrowaveovenfeaturesvariable power
settings that allow you to choose the speed at which food
cooks.
Food Variables
Microwavecooking can be directlyaffectedby different
foodvariables.
Theshape offoodscangreatly affect the amount of
cooking time. Foods that are flat and thin heat faster than
foods which are chunky. For example, a casserole will
cook faster in a flat dish, rather than if heaped in a small
dish. Foods cut into small pieces will cook faster than
large-shapedfoods.Pieces should be of a uniformsize
andshapefor more uniform cooking, or the smaller pieces
will cook faster. The greatest amount of heating takes
placenear thefood’s surface. The interior of large
food items, or dense foods, is heated by the heat con-
ductedfrom the outer food layer.The most uniform
heatingoccurs in flat, doughnut-shaped foods.Forbest
results, cook foods together which have similar sizes and
shapes.

9
Thequantity orvolumeof a food can affecttheamountof
cooking time. As the volume of the food is increased, the
time required to cook or heat the item increases almost
proportionately. If twice the amount of food is placed in the
oven, it will take almost twice as long to cook. To deter-
minethetime for larger quantities, multiply the individual
servingtimebythe increased amount, then reduce the
total heating time by about 20%.
Thedensity offoods can greatly affect theamountof
cooking time. Porous foods, such as breads, cakes or
pastries, will heat much more quickly than dense meats
ofthesame size. Porous foods absorb microwaves
quicklythroughout.Meatsabsorb microwaves mostly at
the exterior surface, and the interior is heated by conduc-
tion, increasing the cooking time. Meats can be cooked in
a sauce, if desired. Due to the moisture content, a sauce
will heat rapidly. The heat will transfer to the meat, so the
meat will heat faster due to heat by conduction as well as
bymicrowaves.
Thestarting temperature of foods affects the amountof
cookingtime.Eachtemperature degree that the food item
is to raise must be supplied with a definite amount of
energy. Lowerinitialstarting temperatures require more
energyand more timeto cook. Therefore,refrigerator
temperaturefoods require a longercookingtime than do
roomtemperaturefoods. Foods already slightly warm will
heatveryquickly in the oven.
Themoisture content offoodsaffects the amount of
cooking time. The higher the moisture content is in a food
the longer the amount of cooking time.
The fat and sugar content of foods affects the amount of
cookingtime.Foods containing high fat and sugar levels
heatveryquickly and may reach much higher tempera-
turesthan foods having lowfatand sugar levels. Foods
havinglower fatandsugar levelsrequire longer cooking
times.
Thearrangement offoodwithina microwave oven cavity
affects the way in which the food cooks. A “round”
arrangementisbest. Use round utensils whenever
possible. Also, arrange foods such as baked potatoes in
a circle, rather than in rows, for cooking. When only one
food item is being cooked, place it in the center of the
ovenglassshelfforcooking.
Manipulation of Foods
Sometimesrecipes suggest manipulating ormovingfood
duringcooking. Thereareseveral formsofmanipulation:
Stirring isrequiredless often in microwave cooking than
inconventional cooking. In conventionalcooking,you use
a spoon to move food up from the bottom of a pan to
evenlydistributetheheat. In microwave cooking, you still
stir to redistribute the heat within some foods, but you
need to stir from the outside of a dish toward the inside or
center. If a recipe states to stir once or twice during
cooking,stirat approximately even intervals. For ex-
ample, in a 12-minute cooking period, if a recipe states to
stir twice, stir after 4 minutes of cooking and again, after 8
minutes of cooking. However, it is not necessary to be
precise. Stir only when necessary. When using lower
power levels or settings, less stirring is required. Some
examplesoffoods which may require stirring arepud-
dings, some casseroles, some sauces, some soups, and
some egg dishes. Some foods can’t be stirred. These
foodsare rearrangedor turned.
Some foods can’t be stirred and should be repositioned
or rearranged during cooking. Some examples include
baked potatoes, cupcakes (in custard cups), and
chickenpieces.Rearranging allows for more even
cookingoffoods.Foodswhicharecooked, covered or
whicharecookedusinglowerpowerlevels, usually
requirelittle rearranging.
Thereareactually two types of turning.Turningisdone
whenfoodscannotbe stirred. Foods which are cooked,
coveredor which are cookedatlower power levelsusually
requirelittle turning.
Turning foods over: Turning foodsoveris done to
distribute heat. Meat and poultry are two types of foods
whichare sometimes “turned over.” Examples include
roasts, turkeys and whole chickens. Small meat items
such as poultry pieces may need to be turned over when
in casseroles, or when in a browning skillet.

Cooking Hints
Cover foods for faster, more even heating. Glass lids,
plasticwrap,platecovers or other paper products may be
used.Donotseal. Instead, allow for steam-venting at all
times.
Pierce pouches, plastic wrap covers and all foods
with a thin skin or membrane, such as potatoes, squash,
tomatoes,eggs,etc. This prevents an eruption in the oven
andallowsforexpansion and/or the escape of steam.
Foods should be carefully arranged. For best results,
arrangefood such as vegetables orcasserole-typeitems
evenly around the edge of the plate with slightly less
depth in the center. The edges of food items should not
overlapor overhangtherim ofthecontainer.Cover meats
with gravy or au jus and moisten all dry foods other than
bread or pastry items.
Do not stack food or plated dishes in your oven.
Instead,when heating more thanoneserving or platters,
all plates should be placed at the same level in the oven,
withspacebetween all containers.
