Most heat-resistant, nonmetallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven.
However, to test cookware before using, follow these steps:
1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup (250 ml) of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

ENGLISH
BROWNING
Meat and poultry with high fat content that are cooked
for 10 or 15 minutes or longer will brown lightly. Foods
cooked a shorter time can be brushed with a browning
agent, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or
barbecue sauce.
COVERING
A cover traps heat and steam and causes the food to cook
more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap
with one corner folded back to vent the excess steam.
Lids on glass casseroles can become hot during cooking.
Handle carefully. Waxed paper will prevent the food from
splattering in the oven and help retain heat. When warming
bread items, use waxed paper, napkins, or paper towels.
To absorb extra moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods
in paper towels.
SPACING
Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes,
cupcakes, and hors d’oeuvres’ in a circle and at least
1 inch apart. This will help the food cook more evenly.
STIRRING
Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in foods.
Always stir from the outside toward the center of the dish.
Food at the outside of the dish heats first.
TURNING
Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should be
turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Also turn
over chicken pieces and chops.
ARRANGEMENT
Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish
for more even cooking. Because dense foods cook more
slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry, fish, and
vegetables toward the outside of the dish.
TESTING FOR DONENESS
Because foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, you
need to test frequently for doneness.
STANDING TIME IN OVEN
Depending on density, food often needs to stand from 2
to 15 minutes either in or outside the oven after cooking
power shuts off. Outside of oven, you usually need to
cover food during standing time to retain heat. Remove
most foods when they are slightly undercooked and they
will finish cooking during standing time. The internal
temperature of food will rise about 10°F during
standing time.
SHIELDING
To prevent some portions of foods in rectangular or square
dishes from overcooking, you may need to shield them with
small strips of aluminum foil to block the microwaves. You
can also cover poultry legs and wing tips with foil to keep
them from overcooking. Always keep foil at least 1 inch
from oven walls to prevent arcing.
PIERCING
Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods before cooking
to prevent them from bursting. Foods that require piercing
include yolks and whites of eggs, hot dogs, clams, oysters,
and whole vegetables, such as potatoes and squash.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and
a mild detergent solution, then rinse and wipe dry. This
should be done weekly or more often, if needed. Never use
cleaning powders or rough pads. Excessive oil splatters
on the inside top will be difficult to remove if left for many
days. Wipe splatters with a wet paper towel, especially after
cooking chicken or bacon.
TURNTABLE
The turntable and turntable roller rest are removable. They
should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water with a mild
detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean, rinse well
and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning powders, steel
wool, or rough pads.

PIZZA OVEN PAN
The pizza grill pan features a non-stick surface and is
dishwasher safe. It should be washed regularly in a
dishwasher or warm, soapy water.
SPECIAL CARE
For best performance and safety, the inner door panel
and the oven front frame should be free of food or grease
buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent, then rinse and
wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or rough pads.
After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/PRESS TO

Meat
1. No special techniques are required. Meat should
be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season
if desired. Always thoroughly defrost meat before
cooking.
2. Place the meat on a microwave roasting rack or
microwave-proof plate and place on the turntable.
3. Cook according to the Meat Cooking Table (below).
Use the longer time for large cuts of meats and the
shorter time for small cuts of meats. For thicker
chops, use the longer time.
4. Turn the meat once halfway through the cooking
time.
5. Let stand for 5-10 minutes wrapped in foil after
cooking. The standing time is very important as it
completes the cooking process.
6. Make sure meat, especially pork, is thoroughly
cooked before eating.
WARNING: Do not use large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause
arcing. You may use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep all aluminum foil at
least 1 inch from the walls and door of the oven.

Poultry
1. No special techniques are required. Poultry should
be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season
if desired.
2. Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove
giblets and any metal clamps.
3. Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil
unless the poultry is self-basting.
4. All poultry should be placed on a microwave roasting
rack or a microwave-proof plate and placed on the
turntable.
5. Cook according to the instructions in the Poultry
Cooking Table below. Turn over halfway through the
cooking time. Because of its shape, poultry has a
tendency to cook unevenly, especially in very bony
parts.Turning food over helps to cook these areas
evenly.
6. Remove from oven, wrap in foil, and let stand for
5–10 minutes before carving.The standing time
is very important, since it completes the cooking
process.
7. Make sure poultry is thoroughly cooked before eating.
Whole poultry is completely cooked when the juices
run clear from the inside thigh when it is pierced with
a sharp knife. Poultry pieces should be pierced with
a sharp knife through the thickest part to ensure that
the juices are clear and the flesh is firm.

Questions and Answers
Operation
Question Answer
Why is the oven light not on during
cooking?
There may be several causes. Have you:
s3ETACOOKINGTIME
s0RESSEDTHE34!24PAD
Why does steam come out of the air
exhaust vent?
Will the microwave oven be damaged
if it operates empty?
Does microwave energy pass through
the viewing screen in the door?
Why does a tone sound when a pad
on the control panel is touched?
Can the microwave oven be damaged
if food is cooked for too long?
When the oven is plugged into the wall
outlet for the first time, it doesn't work
properly. What is wrong?
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been
designed to vent this steam.
Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable.
No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity. The holes
(or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy
pass through.
The tone tells you that the setting has been entered.
Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point
that the food creates smoke and even possibly fire and damage to the inside
of the oven. It is always best to be near the oven while you are cooking.
The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily become scrambled
and fail to function as programmed when you plug it in for the first time or
when power resumes after a power interruption. Unplug the oven from the
120-volt household outlet and then plug it back in to reset the microcomputer
and then reset the clock.
Why is there light reflection around the
outer case?
This light is from the oven light which is located between the oven cavity and
the outer wall of the oven.
What are the various sounds heard
when the microwave oven is operating?
The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the microwave
oven’s magnetron ON and OFF.
The heavy hum is from the change in power the magnetron draws as it is turned
ON and OFF by a mechanical switch. The change in blower speed is from the
change in line voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.
Why is the clock display blank or off? Make sure the microwave oven is plugged into a working outlet. Check for a
blown house fuse or tripped circuit breaker.
Why is there a fan running after the
pizza oven is stopped?
The fan will continue operating to cool the internal components of the pizza
oven.

Food
Question
What is wrong when baked foods
have a hard, dry, brown spot?
Why do eggs sometimes pop?
Why are scrambled eggs sometimes
a little dry after cooking?
Why do baked apples sometimes burst
during cooking?
Why do baked potatoes sometimes
burn during cooking?
Why is a standing time recommended
after microwave cooking time is over?
Why is additional time required
for cooking food stored in the
refrigerator?
Why is pizza underdone or burnt?
Why does the pizza pan get hot?
Can I use the pizza oven to
broil foods?
Can I cook without the pizza pan?
A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking or
reheating time.
When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam
buildup inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk
with a wooden toothpick before cooking.
CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell.
Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same recipe is used
each time. The cooking time may need to be varied for one of these reasons:

The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to
allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As in
conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands during
the cooking process.
If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm.
CAUTION: Do not overcook.
Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after
the actual microwave oven cooking cycle ends. The amount of standing time
depends upon the density of the foods.
As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking
time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for
food at room temperature.
You may need to adjust the cooking time and temperature.
The pizza pan is used to retain heat and help brown the food.
No. The oven is to be used for baking select food items and pizzas only.
No. The pan must be used for any baking done in the oven.
