IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always
save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for
microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support
nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in
the microwave oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and
counterclockwise. See page 26 for complete instructions.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb
the microwave energy.
When using the microwave oven at power levels below 100%,
you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for
the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm to the touch when
cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity
and the moisture in food will in fl uence the amount of moisture that
condenses in the microwave oven. Generally, covered foods will
not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation
openings must not be blocked.
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your microwave oven is rated 1000 watts by using the IEC
Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check
food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time
accordingly.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time
indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked
can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions:
paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers
prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Shield with small fl at pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas
of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick
areas are cooked thoroughly.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during
cooking, if possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of
such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts
must be turned over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking
both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the
outside.
• Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and stir,
if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to
fi nish cooking without overcooking.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking
temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and
fl akes easily with a fork.
