ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

• Read this User Guide 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 at1000 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 fiat 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.

Tips for the best results using your Microwave

Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods would at room temperature.

Size

Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Piecessimilar in size and shape will cook more
evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.

Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently

Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary

Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.

Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts
toward the outside of the turntable tray.

Let the food stand
After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it
stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish in the center and avoids overcooking the outer
edges. The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.

Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper
Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items from drying out while heating.

Tips
For best results:

• Use defrost only for raw food items.
• Defrosting gives best results when your food is taken directly from the freezer. If the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5°F (-15°C) or below, always program a lower food weight or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.
• Enter a reduced weight if the frozen food has been outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes.
• The shape of the food package alters the defrosting time. For example, a shallow, rectangular food package will defrost more quickly than a deep block of food.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.

Tips for defrosting meat
