3) DEEPFATFRYING
• DO NOT deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Cooking oils
may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven and
may result inburns. Microwave utensils may not withstand the
temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.
4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS
• DONOT COOK / REHEATWHOLEEGGS, WITHOR WITHOUT
THE SHELL.
Steam buildup in whole
eggs may cause them
to explode, and possibly
damage the oven or
cause injury. Reheating
SLICED hard-boiled eggs
and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.
• Potatoes, apples, whole squash
and sausages are examples of
foods with nonporous skins. These
types of foods must be pierced
before microwave cooking to
prevent them from exploding.
CAUTION: Cooking dry or old
potatoes can cause fire.
5) GLASS TRAY / COOKING CONTAINERS / FOIL
• Cooking containers get hot during microwaving. Heat is
transferred from the HOT food to the container and the Glass
Tray. Use pot holders when removing containers from the oven
or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers from cooking
containers, to avoidburns.
• The Glass Tray will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed
to cool before handling or before paper products, such as paper
plates or microwave popcorn bags, are placed in the oven for
microwave cooking.
• When using foil in the oven, allow at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of
space between foil and interior oven walls or door.
• Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing
may occur.

according to package directions. DO NOT
use a wire twist-tie to close bag. Instead
use plastic ties, cotton string or a strip cut
from the open end of the bag.
8) THERMOMETERS
• DO NOT use a conventional meat
thermometer in
your oven. Arcing may occur.
Microwave safe thermometers are
available for both meat and candy.
9) BABY FORMULA / BABY FOOD
• DO NOT heat baby formula or baby food in
the microwave oven. The glass jar or
surface of the food may appear warm while
the interior can be so hot as to burnthe
infant’s mouth and esophagus.
10) REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS
• When reheating pastry products, check temperatures of any
fillings before eating. Some foods have fillings, which heat faster
and can be extremely hot, while the surface remains warm to the
touch (for example, jellydonuts).
11) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES
• DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the
preparation of food.

recommendations:
BEFORE Reheating/Cooking:
1. The room temperature
surrounding the oven should be
below95°F (35°C).
2. Food weight should exceed 4
oz.(110 g ).
3. Be sure the glass tray, the
outside of the cooking
containers and the inside
of the microwave oven are
dry before placing food in
the oven. Residual beads of
moisture turning into steam
can mislead the sensor.
4. Cover food with lid, or with
vented plastic wrap. Never
use tightly sealed plastic
containers—they can prevent
steam from escaping and
cause food toovercook.
DURING Reheating/Cooking:
DO NOT open the oven door until
two beeps sound and cooking time
appears in the display. Doing so
will cause inaccurate cooking since
the steam from food is no longer

FoodCharacteristics
17
Food Characteristics
Bone and Fat
Both bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may cause
irregular cooking. Meat next to the tips of bones may
overcook while meat positioned under a large bone,
such as a ham bone, may be undercooked. Large
amounts of fat absorb microwave energy and the meat next to these areas
may overcook.
Density
Porous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls take
less time to cook than heavy, dense foods such as
potatoes and roasts. When reheating donuts or other
foods with different centers be very careful. Certain
foods have centers made with sugar, water, or fat and
these centers attract microwaves (for example, jelly
donuts). When a jelly donut is heated, the jelly can become extremely hot
while the exterior remains warm to the touch. This could result in a burn if
the food is not allowed to cool properly in the center.
Quantity
Two potatoes take longer to cook than one potato. As the
quantity of the food decreases so does the cooking time.
Overcooking will cause the moisture content in the food to decrease and a
fire could result. Never leave microwave unattended while in use.
Shape
Uniform sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a
drumstick will cook more quickly than the meaty end.
To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin parts
toward the center of the dish and thick pieces toward
the edge.
Size
Thin pieces cook more quickly than thick pieces.
Starting Temperature
Foods that are at room temperature take less time to cook than
if they are chilled, refrigerated or frozen.
Cooking Techniques
Piercing
Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced, scored or have a strip of skin
peeled before cooking to allow steam to escape. Pierce clams, oysters, chicken
livers, whole potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole apples or new potatoes
should have a 1-inch strip of skin peeled before cooking. Score sausages and
frankfurters. Do not Cook/Reheat whole eggs, with or without the shell. Steam
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage
the oven or cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard-boiled eggs and cooking
SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.
Browning
Foods will not have the same brown appearance as conventionally cooked foods
or those foods which are cooked utilizing a browning feature. Meats and poultry
may be coated with browning sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce or
shake-on browning sauce. To use, combine browning sauce with melted butter
or margarine and brush on before cooking. For quick breads or muffins, brown
sugar can be used in the recipe in place of granulated sugar, or the surface can be
sprinkled with dark spices before cooking.
Spacing
Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes and appetizers, will cook
more evenly if placed in the oven equal distances apart. When possible,
arrange foods in a circular pattern.
Covering
As with conventional cooking, moisture evaporates during microwave
cooking. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When using
plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by folding back part of the plastic wrap
from the edge of the dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or remove plastic
wrap as recipe directs for stand time. When removing plastic wrap covers,
as well as any glass lids, be careful to remove them away from you to avoid
steam burns. Various degrees of moisture retention are also obtained by using
wax paper or paper towels.
Cooking Time
Cooking times will vary because of food shape variations, starting
temperature, and regional preferences. Always cook food for the minimum
cooking time given in a recipe and check for doneness. If the food is
undercooked, continue cooking. It is easier to add time to an undercooked
product. Once the food is overcooked, nothing can be done.
Stirring
Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking. Always bring the
cooked outside edges toward the center and the less cooked center portions
toward the outside of the dish.
Rearranging
Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces, shrimp, hamburger patties or
pork chops. Rearrange pieces from the edge to the center and pieces from the
center to the edge of the dish.
Turning
It is not possible to stir some foods to distribute the heat evenly. At times,
microwave energy will concentrate in one area of the food. To help ensure
even cooking, these foods need to be turned. Turn over large foods, such as
roasts or turkeys, halfway through cooking.
Standing Time
Most foods will continue to cook by conduction after the microwave oven
is turned off. After cooking meat, the internal temperature will rise 5 °F to
15 °F (3 °C to 8 °C), if allowed to stand, tented with foil, for 10 to 15 minutes.
Casseroles and vegetables need a shorter amount of standing time, but this
standing time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking to thecenter
without overcooking on the edges.
Test for Doneness
The same tests for doneness used in conventional cooking may be used for
microwave cooking. Meat is done when fork-tender or splits at fibers. Chicken
is done when juices are clear yellow and drumstick moves freely. Fish is done
when it flakes and is opaque. Cake is done when a toothpick or cake tester is
inserted and comes out clean.
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of
Agriculture’s recommended temperatures.
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 oven use.
Temp Food
160 °F For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish,
seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
165 °F For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and
carryout“fresh” food.
170 °F For white meat poultry.
180 °F For dark meat poultry.

Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven
18
Please see below and the following page
for particular cleaning instructions for
each section of theoven.
BEFORE CLEANING: Unplug oven at wall
outlet. If outlet is inaccessible, leave oven
door open while cleaning.
AFTER CLEANING: Be sure to place the
Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in the proper
position and press Stop/Reset Button to
clear the Display.
1. Outside oven surfaces: Clean with a
damp cloth. To prevent damage to the
operating parts inside the oven, water
should not be allowed to seep into
ventilation openings.
2. Label: Do not remove. Wipe with a
damp cloth.
3. Inside the Oven : Wipe with a damp
cloth after using. Milddetergent may
be used if needed. Do not use harsh
detergents orabrasives.
4. Oven Door: Wipe with a soft dry cloth
when steam accumulates inside or
around the outside of the oven door.
During cooking, especially under high
humidity conditions, steam is given
off from the food. (Some steam will
condense on cooler surfaces, suchas
the oven door. This is normal.) Inside surface is covered with a heat and vapor barrier film. Do not remove.
5. Oven Cavity Floor : Clean the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent, water or window cleaner, and dry.
6. Wave Guide Cover : Do not remove Wave Guide Cover. It is important to keep cover clean in the same manner as the inside of the
oven.
7. Control Panel : The Control Panel is covered with a removable protective film to prevent scratches during shipping. Small bubbles
may appear under this film, so if this is the case, remove by applying masking or clear tape to an exposed corner and pull gently. If
the Control Panel becomes wet, clean it with a soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
8. Glass Tray : Remove and wash in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.
9. Roller Ring : Roller Ring may be washed in mild soapy water or dishwasher. These areas should be kept clean to avoid excessive noise.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY. FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDENSATION MAY CAUSE
RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL SURFACES,
INCLUDING VENT OPENINGS, OVEN SEAMS, AND UNDER GLASS TRAY .
