Microwavi~ Tips
. Make sure all cookware used in
your microwave oven is suitible
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, wax paper and
plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.
● Some microwaved foods
require stirring, rotiting or
rearranging. Check the Cooking
Guide for specific instructions.
● 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.

example, closed sass jars-wfll
explode and should not be heated
in this oven. Such use of the
microwave oven could result in
injury.
* Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even without their lids;
especitiy meat and egg mixtures,
● ~n’t d-t fromn beverages
in narrow necked boties (especidy
carbonated beverages). Even if the
container is opened, pressure
can build up. This can cause the
container to burst, resdting in
injury.
● UW metal ody as directed in
tMs book. TV dinners maybe
microwaved in fod 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 sidw of oven.
● cwk= may become hot
because of heat transferred from
the heated food.
Pot holders may
be needed to hande the cookware.
o Sometimes, the cooking tray
can become too hot to touch, Be
care~ handling the cooking tray
during and
afier cooking,
. FOO& cooked in liquids (such
as pasta) may tend to boil over
mom rapidy than Ms containing
less moisture. Shodd this occur,
rekr to page 26 for instructions on
how to
CIW the inside of the oven.
. Thermometer—Do not
use a thermometer in food you
are microwaving udess the
thermometer is designed or
recommended for use in the
microwave oven.
● Plmtic c~kwa~—pl~tic
cookware designed for microwave
cooking is very useful, but should
be used careMy. Even rnicrowave-
safe plastic may not be as toIerant
of overcooking conditions as w
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
o~y 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 1~~.
This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be
tiled and meat will be safe to eat.

and tightly closed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed by manufacturer. 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 careMly and direct
steam away from hands and &ce.
● SWn~Ww boiling-under
certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during or

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
was not done. What happened?
A.
Since house power varies due
to time or location, many Time
Cook 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 ST-T, however, my
oven didn’t come on. Why not?
A. The TIME COOK I & II pad
must be touched before setting the
number pads otherwise 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 cook on a power level other
than High, first touch the TIME
COOK pad and set the desired
cooking time. Then touch the
POWER LEVEL pad. “POWER
10” appears on the display panel.
Enter new power level number and
touch START.
Q. Can I interrupt my Time
Cook function 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.

The Defrost setting is designed
for speedy thawing of
fmn food
and is one of the great advantag~
of a microwave oven.
● Power level 3 is automatically set
for defrosting, but you may change
this for more flexibility.
● See the Defrosting Guide, pages
U and 13 for defrosting help.

● For even defrosting, some foods
need to be broken up or separated
part of the way through the
defrosting time.
Que~ions andAmem
Q. When I press STWT, 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
afier entering the
time by touching the desired power
level pad. Power level 7 cuts the
total defrosting time about in 1/2;
power level 10 cuts the
toti
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 quic~y
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.

How to Use the Minute/Second ~mer
The Minute/Second Timer has
three timing functions:
Q It operates as a minute timer.
● It can be set to delay cooking.
● It can be used as a hold setting
after defrosting.
The Minute/Second Timer operates
without microwave energy.

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 Hold and the
amount of time. Be sure to put the
thawed dish in the refrigerator
promptly.
N~E: Let foods remain at room
temperature only as long as safe.
Times will vary.
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/Time for 2 minutes, and then
Defrost for 6 minutes. In this case,
the oven
wodd Detist for 6 minutes
and Hold/Time for 2 minutes.
