Preparation For Freezing: 1. Freeze meats, poultry, and fish in
packages with only one or two layers of food. Place wax paper between layers. 2. Package in heavy-duty plastic wraps, bags (labeled “For Freezer”), or freezer paper. 3. Remove as much air as possible. 4. Seal securely, date, and label.
To Defrost: 1. Remove wrapper. This helps
moisture to evaporate. Juices from food can get hot and cook the food. 2. Set food in microwave safe dish. 3. Place roasts fat-side down. Place whole poultry breast-side down. 4. Select power and minimum time so that items will be underdefrosted.

5. Drain liquids during defrosting. 6. Turn over (invert) items during
defrosting.
After Defrosting: 1. Large items may be icy in the
center. Defrosting will complete during Standing Time. 2. Let stand, covered, following stand time directions on page 9. 3. Rinse foods indicated in the chart. 4. Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer stand time.

“dEF” will appear briefly in the display, then a dash will appear next to the weight units. Enter weight of the food using the Number pads.

NOTES:
1. After having used the Sensor Reheat feature a few times, you may decide you would prefer your food cooked to a different doneness ­ that is why you would utilize the More/Less pads.
2. When steam is detected by the Sensor and two beeps sound, the remaining cooking time will appear in the display.
Casseroles: Add three to four tablespoons of liquid, cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. Stir when time appears in the display window.
Canned foods: Empty contents into casserole dish or serving bowl, cover dish with lid or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand for a few minutes.
Plate of food: Arrange food on plate; top with butter, gravy, etc. Cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand for a few minutes.

NOTES: 1. After having used the Sensor
Cook feature a few times, you may decide you would prefer your food cooked to a different doneness ­ that is why you would utilize the More/Less pads. 2. When steam is detected by the Sensor and two beeps sound, the remaining cooking time will appear in the display. 3. Automatic features are provided for your convenience. If results are not suitable to your individual preference, or if serving size is other than what is listed on page 13, please refer to manual cooking on page 9.
For the best results with the SENSOR, follow these recommendations:
BEFORE Reheating/Cooking: 1. The room temperature
surrounding the oven should be below 95° F (35° C). 2. Food weight should exceed 4 oz. (110 g). 3. Be sure the glass tray, the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Residual beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor. 4. Cover food with lid, or with vented plastic wrap. Never use tightly sealed plastic containers–they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.
DURING Reheating/Cooking: DO NOT open the oven door until two beeps sound and cooking time appears in the display. Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking since the steam from food is no longer contained within the oven cavity. Once the cooking time begins to count down, the oven door may be opened to stir, turn or rearrange foods.
AFTER Reheating/Cooking: All foods should have a standing time.

Food Characteristics

Food Characteristics
Bone and Fat
Both bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may cause irregular cooking. Meat next to the tips of bones may overcook while meat positioned under a large bone, such as a ham bone, may be undercooked. Large amounts of fat absorb microwave energy and the meat next to these areas may overcook.
Density
Porous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls take less time to cook than heavy, dense foods such as potatoes and roasts. When reheating donuts or other foods with different centers be very careful. Certain foods have centers made with sugar, water, or fat and these centers attract microwaves (for example, jelly donuts). When a jelly donut is heated, the jelly can become extremely hot while the exterior remains warm to the touch. This could result in a burn if the food is not allowed to cool properly in the center.
Quantity
Two potatoes take longer to cook than one potato. As the quantity of the food decreases so does the cooking time. Overcooking will cause the moisture content in the food to decrease and a fire could result. Never leave microwave unattended while in use.
Shape
Uniform sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a drumstick will cook more quickly than the meaty end. To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin parts toward the center of the dish and thick pieces toward the edge.

Covering
As with conventional cooking, moisture evaporates during microwave cooking. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When using plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by folding back part of the plastic wrap from the edge of the dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or remove plastic wrap as recipe directs for stand time. When removing plastic wrap covers, as well as any glass lids, be careful to remove them away from you to avoid steam burns. Various degrees of moisture retention are also obtained by using wax paper or paper towels.
Cooking Time
Cooking times will vary because of food shape variations, starting temperature, and regional preferences. Always cook food for the minimum cooking time given in a recipe and check for doneness. If the food is undercooked, continue cooking. It is easier to add time to an undercooked product. Once the food is overcooked, nothing can be done.
Stirring
Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking. Always bring the cooked outside edges toward the center and the less cooked center portions toward the outside of the dish.
Rearranging
Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces, shrimp, hamburger patties or pork chops. Rearrange pieces from the edge to the center and pieces from the center to the edge of the dish.
Turning
It is not possible to stir some foods to distribute the heat evenly. At times, microwave energy will concentrate in one area of the food. To help ensure even cooking, these foods need to be turned. Turn over large foods, such as roasts or turkeys, halfway through cooking.

Size
Thin pieces cook more quickly than thick pieces.
Starting Temperature
Foods that are at room temperature take less time to cook than if they are chilled, refrigerated or frozen.

Standing Time
Most foods will continue to cook by conduction after the microwave oven is turned off. After cooking meat, the internal temperature will rise 5 °F to 15 °F (3 °C to 8 °C), if allowed to stand, tented with foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Casseroles and vegetables need a shorter amount of standing time, but this standing time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking to the center without overcooking on the edges.

Cooking Techniques
Piercing
Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced, scored or have a strip of skin peeled before cooking to allow steam to escape. Pierce clams, oysters, chicken livers, whole potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole apples or new potatoes should have a 1-inch strip of skin peeled before cooking. Score sausages and frankfurters. Do not Cook/Reheat whole eggs, with or without the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard-boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.
Browning
Foods will not have the same brown appearance as conventionally cooked foods or those foods which are cooked utilizing a browning feature. Meats and poultry may be coated with browning sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce or shake-on browning sauce. To use, combine browning sauce with melted butter or margarine and brush on before cooking. For quick breads or muffins, brown sugar can be used in the recipe in place of granulated sugar, or the surface can be sprinkled with dark spices before cooking.
Spacing
Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes and appetizers, will cook more evenly if placed in the oven equal distances apart. When possible, arrange foods in a circular pattern.

Test for Doneness
The same tests for doneness used in conventional cooking may be used for microwave cooking. Meat is done when fork-tender or splits at fibers. Chicken is done when juices are clear yellow and drumstick moves freely. Fish is done when it flakes and is opaque. Cake is done when a toothpick or cake tester is inserted and comes out clean.
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures. To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

Temp
160 °F
165 °F
170 °F 180 °F

Food
For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carryout “fresh” food. For white meat poultry.
For dark meat poultry.

Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven

Please see below and the following page

for particular cleaning instructions for

each section of the oven.

BEFORE CLEANING: Unplug oven at wall

outlet. If outlet is inaccessible, leave oven

door open while cleaning.

AFTER CLEANING: Be sure to place the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in the proper position and press Stop/Reset Button to clear the Display.

1. Outside oven surfaces: Clean with a

damp cloth. To prevent damage to the

operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into

ventilation openings.

2. Label: Do not remove. Wipe with a damp cloth.

3. Inside the Oven: Wipe with a damp cloth after using. Mild detergent may be used if needed. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.

4. Oven Door: Wipe with a soft dry cloth when steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door. During cooking, especially under high humidity conditions, steam is given off from the food. (Some steam will condense on cooler surfaces, such as the oven door. This is normal.) Inside surface is covered with a heat and vapor barrier film. Do not remove.

5. Oven Cavity Floor: Clean the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent, water or window cleaner, and dry.

6. Wave Guide Cover: Do not remove Wave Guide Cover. It is important to keep cover clean in the same manner as the inside of the oven.

7. Control Panel: The Control Panel is covered with a removable protective film to prevent scratches during shipping. Small bubbles may appear under this film, so if this is the case, remove by applying masking or clear tape to an exposed corner and pull gently. If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean it with a soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.

8. Glass Tray: Remove and wash in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.

9. Roller Ring: Roller Ring may be washed in mild soapy water or dishwasher. These areas should be kept clean to avoid excessive noise.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY. FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDENSATION MAY CAUSE RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL SURFACES, INCLUDING VENT OPENINGS, OVEN SEAMS, AND UNDER GLASS TRAY.

Before Requesting Service
See below before calling for service, as most problems can easily be remedied by following these simple solutions:

The oven causes TV interference.

Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.

Steam accumulates on oven door and warm air comes from the oven vents.

During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most of the steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal. After use, the oven should be wiped dry (see page 15).

Oven will not turn on.

The oven is not plugged in securely or needs to be reset; remove plug from outlet, wait ten seconds and re-insert.
Main circuit breaker or main fuse is tripped; reset main circuit breaker or replace main fuse.
There is a problem with the outlet; plug another appliance into the outlet to check if it is working.

Oven will not start cooking.

The door is not completely closed; close the oven door securely. Start was not pressed after programming; press Start. Another program is already entered into the oven; press Stop/Reset to cancel the previous program and enter new program. The program is not correct; program again according to the Operating Instructions. Stop/Reset has been pressed accidentally; program oven again.

The Glass Tray wobbles.

The Glass Tray is not positioned properly on the Roller Ring or there is food under the Roller Ring; take out Glass Tray and Roller Ring. Wipe with a damp cloth and reset Roller Ring and Glass Tray properly.

When the oven is operating, there is noise coming from the Glass Tray.

The Roller Ring and oven bottom are dirty; clean these parts according to Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven (see page 15).
