MICROWAVE OVEN USE
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which
reflect off the metal floor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the
turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are
attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules in
the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which
cooks the food.
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or
allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate
microwave oven when it is empty, even with an empty
container.
■The turntable must be in place and correct side up when
the microwave oven is in use. Do not use if the turntable is
chipped or broken.
■Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in the
microwave oven.
■Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, and paper,
including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be
dried in the microwave oven.
■Parafn wax will not melt in the microwave oven because
it does not absorb microwaves.
■Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from
the microwave oven.
■Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended
cook time, potatoes should be slightly rm. Let potatoes stand
for 5 minutes. They will nish cooking while standing.
■Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover
poached eggs and allow a standing time.
Food Characteristics
When the microwave oven is cooking, the amount, size and
shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food
will affect the cooking results.
Amount of Food
The more food that is heated at once, the longer the cook time
that is needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of
time, if necessary.
Size and Shape
Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces,
and uniformly shaped food cooks more evenly than irregularly
shaped food.
Starting Temperature
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods,
and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.
Composition and Density
Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature and
will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as
meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size
of a light, porous food, such as cake.
Cooking Guidelines
Covering
Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time, and
reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is
not available, wax paper, paper towels, or plastic wrap approved
for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be
turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam.
Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during
heavy cooking.
Stirring and Turning
Stirring and turning redistributes heat evenly to avoid overcooking
the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible,
turn food over from bottom to top.
Arranging
If heating irregularly shaped or different-sized foods, arrange the
thinner parts and smaller-sized items toward the center. If cooking
several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring
pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.
Piercing
Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods
that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks,
chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to
allow steam to vent.

10
Shielding
Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of
irregularly shaped foods, bones, and foods such as chicken wings,
leg tips, and sh tails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section
rst.
Standing Time
Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat, even
after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing
time depends on the volume and density of the food.
Cookware and Dinnerware
Cookware and dinnerware must t on the turntable. Always
use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish
may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not
use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the
following chart as a guide, then test before using.
Material Recommendations

Aluminum Foil and Metal
Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from
the microwave oven.
Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave
oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur
and cause damage to the microwave oven.
†Styrofoam®is a registered trademark of The Dow Chemical Company.
OK for Use
Racks and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven (on
some models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat
thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow
aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling,
or floor.
■Always use the turntable.
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow contact
with another metal object during microwave cooking.
Do Not Use
Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-approved
meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners, such as
sandwich wrappers, staples, and objects with gold or silver trim or
a metallic glaze, should not be used in the microwave oven.
Metal bakeware may be used only during convection (bake)

without the microwave oven being started. This occurs to avoid unintended starting of the microwave
oven. Open and close the door, then start the cycle.
■Control: Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is off. Make sure Demo mode (on
some models) is off.
Arcing in the microwave
oven. Check the following:
■Soil buildup: Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area
where the door touches the frame can cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in the “Microwave Oven
Care” section.
Turntable alternates
rotation directions ■This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.
