ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
• Read this Owner’s Manual 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.
• 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 influence 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 at 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 the dish.
• Watch the 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 the recipe or cookbook for suggestions, such as
paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap, or a lid. Covers prevent spattering
and help foods to cook evenly.
• Shield with small flat 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 the food from the microwave oven and stir, if possible.
Cover for the standing time which allows the food to finish 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 flakes easily with a fork.
