Microwaving Tips
● Make sure all cookware used in
your microwave oven is suitable
for microwaving. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard cups,
pottery or china dinnerware which
does not have metallic trim or
glaze with a metallic sheen can be
used. Some cookware is labeled
“suitable for microwaving.”
If you are not sure if a dish is
microwave-safe, use this test:
Place in the oven both the dish you
are testing and a glass measuring
cup filled with one cup water—set
the measuring cup either in or next
to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at
high. If the dish heats, it should not
be used for microwaving. If the
dish remains cool and only the
water in the cup heats, then the
dish is microwave-safe.
● Paper towels, waxed paper and
plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering. Be sure to
vent plastic wrap so steam can
escape.
● Some microwaved foods
require stirring, rotating or
rearranging. Check the Cooking
Guide.
● Steam builds up pressure in
foods which are tightly covered
by a skin or membrane. Pierce
potatoes, egg yolks and chicken
livers to prevent bursting.
If you use a meat thermometer
while cooking, make sure it is
safe for use in microwave ovens.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
When using electrical appliances,
basic safety precautions should be
followed, including the following:
WARNING–TO reduce
the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury to persons or exposure

inches or more back from the
countertop edge to avoid
accidental tipping of the
appliance in normal usage.
● Do not cover or block any
openings on the appliance.
● Do not store this appliance
outdoors. Do not use this
product near water—for example,
in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool.
● Do not immerse power cord
or plug in water.
● Keep power cord away from
heated surfaces.
● Do not let power cord hang
over edge of table or counter.
● Do not operate this appliance
if it has a damaged power cord

● To reduce the risk of fire in
the oven cavity:
—Do not overcook food.
Carefully attend appliance if
paper, plastic or other combustible
materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
—Remove wire twist-ties from
paper or plastic bags before
placing bags in oven.
—Do not use your microwave
oven to dry newspapers.
—Do not use recycled paper
products. Recycled paper towels,
napkins and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks which may
cause arcing or ignite. Paper
products containing nylon or
nylon filaments should be
avoided, as they may also ignite.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
—Do not pop popcorn in your
microwave oven unless in a
special microwave popcorn
accessory or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
—Do not operate the oven
while empty to avoid damage to
the oven and the danger of fire,
If by accident the oven should
run empty a minute or two, no
harm is done. However, try to
avoid operating the oven empty
at all times—it saves energy and
prolongs the life of the oven.
—Do not overcook potatoes.
They could dehydrate and catch
fire, causing damage to your oven.
● Do not use the oven for storage
purposes. Do not leave paper
products, cooking utensils or food
in the oven when not in use.
● If materials inside oven should
ignite, keep oven door closed,
turn oven off, and disconnect
power cord, or shut off power at
the fuse or circuit breaker panel,
● Some products such as whole
eggs and sealed containers—for
example, closed jars—will
explode and should not be heated
in this microwave oven. Such use
of the microwave oven could
result in injury.
● Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even without their lids;
especially meat and egg mixtures.
● Don’t defrost frozen
beverages in narrow necked
bottles (especially carbonated
beverages). Even if the container
is opened, pressure can build up.
This can cause the container to
burst, possibly resulting in injury.
● Use metal only as directed in
this book. TV dinners maybe
microwaved in foil trays less than
3/4” high; remove top foil cover
and return tray to box. When
using metal in the microwave
oven, keep metal at least 1 inch
away from sides of oven.
● Cookware may become hot
because of heat transferred from
the heated food. Pot holders may
be needed to handle the cookware.
● Sometimes, the oven tray can
become too hot to touch. Be
careful touching the tray during
and after cooking.
s Foods cooked in liquids (such
as pasta) may tend to boil over
more rapidly than foods
containing less moisture. Should
this occur, refer to page 30 for
instructions on how to clean the
inside of the oven.
● Thermometer—Do not use a
thermometer in food you are
microwaving unless the
thermometer is designed or
recommended for use in the
microwave oven.
● Plastic cookwar~Plastic
cookware designed for
microwave cooking is very
useful, but should be used
carefully. Even microwave-safe
plastic may not be as tolerant of
overcooking conditions as are
glass or ceramic materials and
may soften or char if subjected to
short periods of overcooking. In
longer exposures to overcooking,
the food and cookware could
ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use
microwave-safe plastics only and
use them in strict compliance
with the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty cookware to
microwaving. 3) Do not permit
children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision,
● When cooking pork, follow
the directions exactly and always
cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F.
This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be
killed and meat will be safe to eat.
● Do not boil eggs in a
microwave oven. Pressure will
build up inside egg yolk and will
cause it to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
● Foods with unbroken outer
“skin” such as potatoes, sausages,
tomatoes, apples, chicken livers
and other giblets, and egg yolks
(see previous caution) should be
pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
● Not all plastic wrap is suitable
for use in microwave ovens.
Check the package for proper use.
● Spontaneous boiling—Under
certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during or
shortly after removal from the
microwave oven. To prevent
bums from splashing liquid, stir
the liquid briefly before
removing the container from the
microwave oven,
● ~~BoilableJ’ cooking pouches
and tightly closed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented as
directed by package. If they are
not, plastic could burst during or
immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should
beat least partially uncovered
because they form a tight seal.
When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and
direct steam away from hands
and face.

● Hot foods and steam can
cause burns. Be careful when
opening any containers of hot
food, including popcorn bags,
cooking pouches and boxes. To
prevent possible injury, direct
steam away from hands and
face.
● Use of the DOUBLE DUTWM
Shelf accessory.
—Remove the shelf from oven
when not in use.
—Do not store or cook with shelf
on floor of oven. Product damage
may result.
—Usepotholderswhenhandling
the shelf and cookware. They may
be hot,
—Do not use microwave browning
dish on shelf. The shelf could
overheat.
—Be sure that the shelf is
positioned properly inside the oven
to prevent product damage. Use of
shelf with Popcorn feature is not
recommended.

Let’s say you want to defrost a
frozen casserole for 15 minutes,
hold for 10 minutes and then Time
Cook for 25 minutes. Here’s how
to do it:
Step 1: Take the casserole from
the freezer and place it in the oven.
m
Step 2: Touch TIME DEFROST.
Step 3: Touch pads 1, 5 and
MINUTE for 15 minutes
defrosting time. (Defrosting is
automatically set on power level 3
but can be changed by touching the
POWER LEVEL pad and the
desired power level.)
Step 4: Set standing or

Questions and Answers
Q. What will happen if I
accidentally reverse my defrost,
hold and cook instructions?
A. The oven will automatically
rearrange your program. Defrosting
will always come first, then hold,
and then the cooking function.
Q. Can I defrost and hold only?
A. Yes. Sometimes you may only
want to defrost a food, hold it, and
cook it later. All you need to do is
program in defrost and amount of
time. Then program the hold time
and the amount of cooking time.
Be sure to put the thawed dish in
the refrigerator promptly.
NOTE: Foods that are highly
perishable, such as milk, eggs,
fish, stuffings, poultry and pork
should not be allowed to sit out
for more than one hour after
defrosting. Room temperature
promotes the growth of harmful
bacteria.
Q. I programmed my oven for
a specific defrosting time but it
defrosted longer than necessary.
What happened?
A. When instructions conflict, the
oven carries out the last instruction.
You may have set the oven to
defrost for 4 minutes, hold for 2
minutes, and then defrost for 6
minutes. In this case, the oven
would defrost for 6 minutes and
hold for 2 minutes.

Defrosting by Time
Time Defrost is designed for
speedy thawing of frozen food
and is one of the great advantages
of a microwave oven.
Use the Time Defrost setting to
quickly thaw foods such as bread,
rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen
dinners. The Auto Defrost setting
is preferred
for meat and poultry
because the oven sets the defrosting
time and power levels for you.
● Power level 3 is automatically set
for defrosting, but you may change
this for more flexibility.
● See the Defrosting Guide for
defrosting help.
To become better acquainted with
the defrost function, defrost a 10 oz.
package of frozen strawberries by
following the steps below.
Step 1: Place a package of frozen
strawbemies in the oven and close
the door. Be sure the package
contains no metal.
How to Change Power Level
After setting defrosting time,
touch POWER LEVEL pad,
then touch desired number for
new power level.
Step 4: Touch START. When
the cycle is completed, the oven
signals and flashes “End,” then
automatically shuts off.
Step 5: Turn the package over,
close the door and repeat Steps 2
and 3 to set the remaining half of
defrosting time. Touch START.
Step 6: When the oven signals
and flashes “End,” open the door,
remove the package and separate
strawberries to finish defrosting.
Defrosting Tips
● Foods frozen in paper or plastic
can be defrosted in the package.
● For even defrosting, some foods
need to be broken up or separated
part of the way through the
defrosting time.
● Family-size, pre-packaged frozen
dinners can be defrosted and
microwaved. If the food is in a
foil container, transfer it to a
microwave-safe dish.
● Check the Defrosting Guide for
other defrosting tips.
Questions and Answers
Q. When I press START, I hear a
dull, thumping noise. What is it?
A. This sound is normal. It is
letting you know the oven is using
a power level lower than 10 (High).
Q. Can I defrost small items in
a hurry?
A. Yes, but they will need more
frequent attention than usual. Raise
the power level after entering the
time by touching the desired power
level pad. Power level 7 cuts the
total defrosting time in about 1/2;
Power level 10 cuts the total
defrosting time to approximately
1/3. During either, rotate or stir
food frequently.
Q. Why don’t the defrosting
times in the Defrosting Guide
seem right for my food?
A. These times are averages.
Defrosting time can vary according
to the temperature in your freezer.
Set your oven for the time
indicated in the Defrosting Guide.
If your food is still not completely
thawed at the end of that time,
reset your oven and adjust the
time accordingly.
Q. Should all foods be completely
thawed before cooking?
A. Some foods should not be
completely thawed before cooking.
For example, fish cooks so quickly
it is better to begin cooking while
it is still slightly frozen.
Q. Can I open the door during
defrosting to check on the
progress of my food?
A. Yes. You may open the door at
any time during microwaving. To
resume defrosting, close the door
and press START. The oven begins
operating if time is left on timer.
If not, reset timer.

Auto Defrost
With the Auto Defrost feature,
the oven automatically sets the
defrosting times and power
levels for you.
Use the Auto Defrost guide on the
next page. Enter the food weight in
pounds
and tenths of a pound (see
Conversion Guide at right). Then
touch START pad.
The oven calculates defrosting
time and changes power levels
during defrosting to give even
defrosting results.
How to set Auto Defrost
Before you begin, check the
guide located at front of oven
when you open the door.
It shows
minimum and maximum food
weights for a variety of foods.
You will need to know your food
weight before setting Auto Defrost.
1. Remove food from package,
place in oven on microwave-safe
dish and close door.
2. Touch AUTO DEF pad.
3. Enter weight. For example,
touch number pads 1 and 2 for weight
of 1.2 pounds ( 1 pound, 3 ounces.
See Conversion Guide at right.)
4. Touch START pad. Display
shows defrost time counting down.
Nice during defrosting, the
oven beeps 4 times and “TURn”
flashes.
Follow the directions in
the Auto Defrost Guide for what to
do at the first and second signal.
Then close the door and touch the
START pad.
When defrosting time is completed,
“End” flashes and oven beeps 4
times. “End” remains on display
and oven beeps every minute until
door is opened or CLEAR/OFF
pad is touched.
Stand Time
After Auto Defrosting, meat needs
to stand in order to let the interior
defrost. You may take the food out
of the oven if you wish. Stand time
recommendations are given in the
guide on the next page.
Conversion Guide
If the weight of food is stated in
pounds and ounces, the ounces
must be converted to tenths

Cooking by Time
Time Cook I & II allows you to
microwave for a selected amount
of time.
Power level 10 (High) is
recommended for most cooking,
but you may change this for more
flexibility. See the Cooking Guide.
To become better acquainted with
time cooking, make a cup of coffee
by following the steps below.
Step 1: Fill a cup 2/3 full of water,
add-
1 teaspoon of instant coffee
and stir to dissolve. Use a cup that
has no metal decoration and is
microwave-safe (refer to
Microwaving Tips in the Safety
Instructions section). Place cup in
oven and close door.
m
Step 2: Touch TIME COOK 1 & 11.
Step 3: Select your time. Touch 1
and MINUTE pad for one minute.
Because automatic power level 10
is recommended for this cup of
coffee, there is no need to change
the power level. (If power level
10
is not appropriate, see “How to
Change Power Level” at right.)
Step 4: Touch START.
Step 5: When time is up, the oven
signals and flashes “End.” Oven,
light and fan shut off.
Step 6: Open the door.
Using the Time Cook II
Feature
The Time Cook 11 feature lets you
set two time cooking functions
within one program. This is ideal
if you want to change power levels
during your cooking operations.
Here’s how to do it.
Step 1: Place food in oven in
microwave-safe container and
close the door.
-
Step 2: Touch TIME COOK I & II.
Step 3: Select your first cook time.
For example, touch 2, 1 and 5 for
two minutes and 15 seconds.
Step 4: Touch TIME COOK I & II.
Step 5: Set your second cook time.
How to Change Power Level
After setting cooking time,
touch POWER LEVEL pad,
then touch desired number for
new power level.
Step 6: Touch START.
Step 7: “POWER 10” is displayed
and “COOK TIME I“ counts down.
Step 8: At the end of “COOK
TIME I,” the second power level
is displayed and “COOK TIME II”
is shown counting down.
Step 9: When time is up, the oven
signals and flashes “End.” The
oven, light and fan shut off.
Step 10: Open the door.
The Express Cook Feature
The Express Cook feature is a
short-cut method to set time for
1–5 minutes.
To Express Cook your food or
beverage:
Step 1: Touch a number pad (from
1 to 5) that corresponds with the
amount of your desired cooking
time (in minutes). For example,
touch the 2 pad for 2 minutes of
cooking time.
Step 2: Touch the START pad.
The oven will automatically signal,
flash “End” and shut off at the end
of the programmed time.
Add 30 Seconds
The Add 30 Seconds feature
provides a convenient way to
extend cooking time by 30 seconds
while the oven timer is counting
down. It will add 30 seconds to
the time shown each time the pad
is touched.

How to Use Auto Start
The Auto Start feature allows
you to program your oven to
begin cooking at a later time of
day—up to a 12-hour delay.
To Use Auto Start
Step 1: Touch AUTO START
pad
(instead
of START pad).
Step 2: Enter the time you want
the oven to start. (Be sure your
microwave oven clock shows the
correct time of day. )
Step 3: Enter your desired cooking
program.
Step 4: Touch START pad. The
oven will automatically start at the
desired time.
Questions and Answers
Q. I set my oven for the time
called for in the recipe, but at the
end of the time allowed, my food
wasn’t done. What happened?
A. Since house power varies due
to time or location, many time
cooking recipes give you a time
range to prevent overcooking. Set
the oven for minimum time, test
the
food for doneness, and cook
your food a little longer, if
necessary.
Q. I touched the number pads and
selected my power level. When I
touched START, however, my
oven didn’t come on. Why not?
A.
The TIME COOK I & 11 pad
must be touched before setting the
number pads or else your oven will
not begin cooking.
Q. I want to cook on a power
level other than High. What do I
need to do?
A. To change the power level,
touch the POWER LEVEL pad,
then touch desired number for new
power
level.
Q. Can I interrupt Time Cook to
check the food?
A. Yes. To resume cooking, simply
close the door and press the START
pad. The timer must be reset for
cooking to resume unless time is
remaining on timer.

How to Use the Double Duty
TM
Shelf
●
●
●
●
●

Use the shelf only when
cooking foods on 2 levels.
Do not store or cook with
shelf on floor of oven.
Product damage may result.
Use pot holders when
handling metal shelf and
cookware. They may be hot.
Do not store microwave
browning dish on metal
shelf.
Use of DOUBLE DUTYr’l
shelf with Popcorn program
is not recommended.
The wire shelf is specifically
designed for added capacity in
your microwave oven. Now more
than one food may be heated or
reheated and ready to serve at the
same time.
When microwaving with the oven
shelf, some techniques will differ
from the Cooking Guide. It is
important to arrange foods
properly (shown on the next page).
Cookware size is important; select
from among the suggestions at
right. Also, food size should be
considered;
foods over 4 inches
high or
3X pounds are not
recommended for shelf cooking.
Batters and dough foods and also
uncooked foods which need to be
prepared from scratch should be
cooked without the oven shelf,
following cookbook directions.
Use pot holders when handling
foods heated together with your
oven shelf, especially when
heating larger amounts of food.
Extra steam generated from
multiple food cooking may make
cookware hotter than with regular
microwaving.
Cookware for Shelf
Heating and Reheating
Before placing food in the dishes,
check to see that they will fit
together on or under the shelf.
Also, be sure cookware is
microwave safe.
Cookware for heating or reheating
include
1 cup measuring cup,
9x5x3-inch loaf dishes or 9-inch
pie plates.
Leftovers may be placed in small
individual ceramic or plastic bowls
or divided plates.
Use wax paper or plastic wrap
instead of lids on casseroles. Lids
may add too much height to dish.
Positioning the Shelf
l\~
I
1
To position the DOUBLE DUTYTM
shelf, tip the back slightly and fit
the shelf support guides onto the
support guides located on each
side of the oven in the rear.
a
Next, lower the front until the shelf
support guides fit onto the support
guides located at each side of the
oven in the front.
When properly positioned, the
shelf should fit snugly in place, be
level and not touch the back or
side wall of the oven.
If arcing occurs when using the
shelf to cook more than one food
at the same time, turn the oven
off. Make sure the shelf is
positioned right-side-up on all
four shelf supports and not
touching oven walls.

How to Reheat Several
Different ~pes of Foods
Together
When heating several different
types of food together, foods which
should be served hot must be
placed on the shelf, while foods
which need only to be warmed
should be placed on the oven floor.
This is because microwave energy
enters the oven from the top only.
Also, it is important to remember
that foods absorb microwave
energy at different rates. Rates can
be affected by the size of the food,
and its starting temperature.
Because of the varying rates, you
may need to start reheating a large
or dense food a few minutes
aheac
of time, then add other smaller or
less dense foods. Alternately, if
one of the foods you are heating
seems undercooked but the others
are heated satisfactorily, let the
underheated food continue cooking
Heat or reheat different types of
food at High ( 10). To determine
heating times, add times for all
foods together. (See Heating or
Reheating Guide.) After half of
time, stir or rearrange foods (do
not reverse positions). Check food
(especially those on oven floor)
after 3/4 of total time and remove
any which are done. Continue
cooking others.
Place on shelf large or dense foods
which need the most heating, such
as leftover fried chicken,
casseroles of canned or leftover
vegetables, rice or pasta. Place on
floor those foods which need only
be warmed, such as bakery pies,
rolls, muffins or breads.
Pop popcorn on the microwave
oven floor only. Popcorn placed
on the oven shelf will not pop
properly. Use a special microwave
popcorn accessory or prepackaged
popcorn labeled for use in

Glossary of Microwave Terms
When adapting recipes for the microwave, it is best
to start with a familiar recipe. Knowing how the
food should look and taste will help when adapting
recipes for microwaving. Foods that require
browning or crisp, dry surfaces will cook better
conventionally.
● Moist foods, such as vegetables, fruits, poultry and
seafood, microwave well.
● Rich foods, such as bar cookies, moist cakes and
candies, are suitable for microwaving because of their
high fat and sugar content.
● Reduce conventional cooking time by one-half to one-
third. Check food after minimum time to avoid
overcooking.
“ Small amounts of butter or oil can be used for
flavoring, but are not needed to prevent sticking.
● Seasonings may need to be reduced. Salt meats and
vegetables after cooking.
Covering. In both conventional and microwave
cooking, covers hold in moisture, allow for more even
heating and reduce cooking time. Conventionally,
partial covering allows excess steam to escape. Venting
plastic wrap or covering with wax paper serves the
same purpose when microwaving.
Venting. After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you
vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so
excess steam can escape.
Arranging Food in Oven. In conventional baking, you
position foods, such as cake layers or potatoes, so hot
air can
flow around them. When microwaving, you
arrange foods in a ring, so that all sides are exposed to
microwave energy.
Stirring. In range-top cooking, you stir foods up from
the bottom to heat them evenly. When microwaving,
you stir cooked portions from the outside to the center.
Foods that require constant stirring conventionally will
need only occasional stirring when microwaving.
Turning Over. In range-top cooking, you turn over
foods, such as hamburgers, so both sides can directly
contact the hot pan. When microwaving, turning is
often needed during defrosting or when cooking certain
foods, such as frozen hamburgers.
Standing Time. In conventional cooking, 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.
Shielding. In a conventional 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.
Arcing. Sparks caused by too much metal in the
microwave oven or
metal touching the side of the oven
or foil that is not molded to food.
Prick Foods to Release Pressure. Steam builds up
pressure in foods that are tightly covered by a skin or
membrane. Prick foods, such as potatoes (as you do
conventionally), egg yolks and chicken livers, to
prevent bursting.
Rotating. Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the oven
helps food cook more evenly. To rotate 1/2 turn, turn
the dish until the side that was to the back of the oven is
to the front. To rotate 1/4 turn, turn the dish until the
side that was to the back of the oven is to the side.
Basic Microwave Guidelines
Density of Food. In both conventional and microwave
cooking, dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to
cook than light, porous foods, such as
rolls, bread or
pieces of cake.
Round Shapes. Since microwaves penetrate foods to
about one inch from top, bottom and sides, round
shapes and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive
more energy and may overcook. This may also happen
when cooking conventionally.
Delicacy. Foods with a delicate texture, such as
custards, are best cooked at lower power settings to
avoid toughening.
Natural Moisture of food affects how it cooks. Very
moist foods cook evenly because microwave energy is
attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in
moisture should be covered or allowed to stand so heat
can disperse evenly.
Piece Size. Small pieces cook faster than large ones.
Pieces that are similar in size and shape cook more
evenly. With large pieces of food, reduce the power
setting for even cooking.
Shape of Food. In both types of cooking, thin areas
cook faster than thick areas. This can be controlled in
microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside
edge and thin pieces in the center.
Starting Temperature. Foods taken from the freezer or
refrigerator take longer to cook than foods at room
temperature. Timings in our recipes are based on the
temperatures at which you normally store the foods.
Quantity of Food. In both types of cooking, small
amounts usually take less time than large amounts. This
is most apparent in microwave cooking, where time is
directly related to the number of servings.
Shelf (on models so equipped). Use the shelf to heat
more than one dish at one time. Take the shelf out when
you are not using it.
