Original Instructions
Microwave Cooking
Microwave cooking uses high
frequency energy waves to
heat the food. When cooking,
microwave energy causes food
molecules to move rapidly. This
rapid movement between the food
molecules creates heat, which
cooks the food.
Is it safe to run a
microwave if it is empty?
Running a microwave without a
load can cause serious damage
to electrical components. When
food is placed in the oven,
microwave energy generated by
the magnetron is absorbed by
the food. When no food is in the
oven, there is nothing to absorb
the energy. The energy bounces
around the cavity and is channeled
back through the waveguide. This
can cause arcing, re and may
burn out the magnetron.
How do you defrost food
while using a commercial
microwave?
Not all commercial microwaves
have the defrost button that is
commonly found on a residential
microwave. To defrost, simply use
20% microwave power level.
How do you know if a
container is microwave
safe?
To test if a container is microwave
safe, place it in the microwave
next to a container of water that
is micro-wave safe. Run the
microwave for one minute. If the
tested container is warm or hot, it is
not microwave safe.
Cooking & Programming Features
Programming Features
STAGE COOKING
Allows operator to use up to four dierent cooking cycles or stages consecutively
without repeated input from the operator. For example, stage cooking could be set to
defrost food initially, then cook it, and then keep the food warm until serving time.
PRESET PROGRAM KEYPADS
Oven can store between 10 to 100 cooking programs in memory.
A. Single Digit Keypad Cooking
From the factory, the oven is programmed to store 10 cooking programs (0-9). Each
keypad begins a cooking program.
B. Double Digit Keypad Cooking
The oven control can be changed to store up to 100 cooking programs (00-99). Each
entry will be assigned a double digit number, for example 01, 05, or 20. When using
the double keypad programming, two keypads must be pressed to start the cooking
cycle.
Note: To set control to Double Digit Entry, see “User Options” section in this manual
TOP OR BOTTOM ONLY COOKING
Top Only or Bottom Only cooking allows the user to use only the top or
bottom of the microwave during a cooking cycle. When “Top Only” is
selected, only the top magnetrons operate. When “Bottom Only” is selected
only the bottom magnetrons operate. See “Programming Top & Bottom
Only Cooking” on page 8 for more information about this feature.
MID-CYCLE COOKING PAUSE
The cooking pause is a feature unique to this series of microwaves. This pause
enables extra ingredients to be added, cooking progress to be checked, or for food
to sit for a necessary time between cooking cycles. During a mid-cycle cooking
pause, the microwave beeps continuously and PROGRAM PAUSED displays until
the oven door is opened and closed. To continue the cycle, press the START button.
To utilize this feature, see “Programming Mid-Cycle Cooking Pause” on page 9

Cooking Guidelines
The Solwave Microwave Oven can make your job easier.
You’ll cook ahead and pre-portion more. You’ll also spend
less time preparing special-order dishes.
To be sure of consistently good results, you’ll want to
remember a few simple guidelines.
Food Variables
Microwave cooking can be directly aected by dierent food
variables.
The shape of foods can greatly aect the amount of cooking
time. Foods that are at and thin heat faster than foods which
are chunky. For example, a casserole will cook faster in a
at dish, rather than if heaped in a small dish. Foods cut into
small pieces will cook faster than large-shaped foods. Pieces
should be of a uniform size and shape for more uniform
cooking, or the smaller pieces will cook faster. The greatest
amount of cooking takes place within 3/4” (1.9 cm) of the
food’s surface. The interior of large food items, or dense
foods, is heated by the heat conducted from the outer food
layer. The most uniform cooking occurs in at, doughnut-
shaped foods. For best results, cook foods together which
have similar sizes and shapes.
The quantity or volume of a food can aect the amount
of 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 determine
the time for larger quantities, multiply the individual serving
time by the increased amount, then reduce the total cooking
time by about 20%.
The density of foods can greatly aect the amount of
cooking time. Porous foods, such as breads, cakes or
pastries, will heat much more quickly than dense meats of
the same size. Porous foods absorb microwaves quickly
throughout. Meats absorb microwaves mostly at the exterior
surface, and the interior is heated by conduction, 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 by microwaves.
The starting temperature of foods aects the amount of
cooking time. Each temperature degree that the food item is to
raise must be supplied with a denite amount of energy. Lower
initial starting temperatures require more energy and more
time to cook. Therefore, refrigerator temperature foods require
a longer cooking time than do room temperature foods. Foods
already slightly warm will heat very quickly in the oven.
The moisture content of foods aects the amount of
cooking time. The higher the moisture content is in a food the
longer the amount of cooking time.
The salt, fat, and sugar content of foods aects the
amount of cooking time. Foods containing high salt, fat, and
sugar levels heat very quickly and may reach much higher
temperatures than foods having low salt, fat, and sugar levels.
Foods having lower salt, fat, and sugar levels require longer
cooking times.
The arrangement of food within a microwave oven cavity
aects the way in which the food cooks. A “round” arrangement
is best. 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 oven glass shelf for cooking.

Cooking Guidelines (continued)
Manipulation of Foods
Sometimes recipes suggest manipulating or moving food
during cooking. There are several forms of manipulation:
Stirring is required less often in microwave cooking than
in conventional cooking. In conventional cooking, you use a
spoon to move food up from the bottom of a pan to evenly
distribute the heat. 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, stir at
approximately even intervals. For example, 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 examples of foods which may
require stirring are puddings, some casseroles, some sauces,
some soups, and some egg dishes. Some foods can’t be
stirred. These foods are rearranged or turned.
Some foods can’t be stirred and should be repositioned or
rearranged during cooking. Some examples include baked
potatoes, cupcakes (in custard cups), chicken pieces, and
others. Rearranging allows for more even cooking of foods.
Foods which are cooked, covered, or which are cooked using
lower power levels, usually require little rearranging.
There are actually two types of turning. Turning is done
when foods cannot be stirred. Foods which are cooked,
covered, or which are cooked at lower power levels usually
require little turning.
Turning foods over: Turning foods over is done to
distribute heat. Meat and poultry are two types of foods which
are 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.
Rotating or turning dishes: There are a few foods which
cannot be stirred, rearranged or turned over. Therefore, the
actual cooking dish is turned or rotated. A half-turn means
to grasp the dish and turn the portion of the dish that faces
the oven door around, until it faces the back of the oven.
Examples of foods which are sometimes turned or rotated
in a cooking dish include cakes, quiches, or soués. When
cooking foods at lower power levels or Settings, less turning of
the cooking dishes is required.
Microwave Utensils
Never use cooking containers or covers with any metal
content. This includes all metal and enameled metal-core
ware, foil, and metal-trimmed containers. Suitable cooking
containers include those made of paper products, glass,
china, cloth, and wicker baskets.
RECOMMENDED NOT RECOMMENDED
Plastic amber high temperature
pans with lids Aluminum foil
Microwave safe plastic bags for
individualized serving portions Grocery bags
Glass/Ceramic Recycled paper
Natural ber cloth Lead crystal
Non-recycled paper Newspapers
Plastic Metal
Wood Metallic trimmed china
UTENSIL CHECK TEST
Use the following test to check utensils for microwave
safeness.
1. Place glass measuring cup of water next to empty dish to
be tested in microwave oven.
2. Heat on full power for one minute.
3. Check temperature of dish and water.
• If dish remains cool and water is hot, dish is microwave
safe.
• If dish is slightly warm, use for short term cooking.
• If dish is hot and water is cool, do not use. Dish remains
cool if not absorbing microwaves and microwaves are
being absorbed by water. Dish becomes hot if absorbing
microwaves.
Cooking Hints
Cover foods for faster, more even cooking. Glass
lids, plastic wrap, plate covers or other paper products may
be used. Do not seal. 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 and
allows for expansion and/or the escape of steam.
Foods should be carefully plated. For best results,
arrange food such as vegetables or casserole-type items
evenly around the edge of the plate with slightly less depth
in the center. The edges of food items should not overlap or
overhang the rim of the container. 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 cooking more than one serving or platters, all
plates should be placed at the same level in the oven, with
space between all containers.

Steaming Tips
1. Cooking Vessels
a. Always heat or cook food items in covered containers to accomplish:
• Retention of steam for ecient cooking and to keep foods moist
• Even cooking results and temperatures
• A cleaner oven interior and prevention of food splatters
b. Ceramic, paper, china, styrofoam, glass and plastic are suitable materials for use in microwave ovens.
A high temperature resistant amber pan is recommended for ALL items, especially those high in fat or sugar content, as
these ingredients get hot very quickly.
2. Food Temperature
a. To reach a mandatory serving temperature, frozen foods require a longer cook time than refrigerated items.
b. Refrigerated items:
• Items stored at 40°F (4°C) in the refrigerator should be covered while heated; except breads, pastries or any products
with a breaded coating, which should be heated uncovered to avoid softening.
c. Room temperature items:
• Foods held at room temperature, such as canned items or vegetables, will require less time to heat than refrigerated
items.
d. Conventionally prepared foods should be slightly undercooked to prevent overcooking when rethermed by microwave
steaming.
e. After a steaming cycle has been completed, internal food temperatures continue to slightly rise due to the presence of
steam.
3. Structure of Food
a. Food items that are high in fat, sugar, salt and moisture attract and quickly absorb microwave energy, allowing for a
shorter cook time.
b. Items high in protein or ber require a longer cook time, due to a slower absorption of microwave energy.
4. Quantity
a. As the mass of food increases, so will the necessary cook time.
Refer to and comply with all USDA/FDA Food Code guidelines when cooking or heating food items.
