3.3.10 Suggestions for getting the best results
To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below;

• 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. Pieces similar 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 vegetable 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 aspar- agus 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 out 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 prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out while heating.

3.3.11 Using Ready Set

Microwave heating or cooking may be quickly set at 100% power level for 1, 2 or 3 minutes. Use the number keys 1, 2 or 3 to choose the desired minutes of cook time (this option will only work using the 1, 2 or 3 numeric pads):
Example: To quickly heat for 2 minutes at 100% power: Touch number pads 1, 2 or 3 for desired minutes of cook time.
The Ready Set function cannot be set when using the Defrost (by weight) feature.
3.3.12 Exhaust High / Low / Off
The exhaust ventilation moves steam and other cooking vapors from the cooking surface of the range below the microwave oven.
To operate the exhaust vent, Touch the Exhaust
Hi.Lo.Off pad once for the highest speed setting.
Touch the pad again to choose the Low speed setting and a 3rd time to turn the exhaust ventilation off.
If the temperature gets too hot around the microwave oven, the fan in the exhaust vent hood will automatically turn on at the LOW setting to cool the oven. The will automatically turn off when the internal parts are cool. When this occurs, the vent cannot be turned off.
3.3.13 Surface Light / On / Off
Touch the Light/On/Off pad once for a cooking surface light. Press the pad again to turn the light off.
3.3.14 Setting Defrost by Weight
Example: To defrost 1lb. of food with the default power level and cook time determined automatically:

1. Press Defrost Weight pad once. 0.0 will appear in the display.
2. Use the numeric pads to input weight of food to defrost in pounds (10 = 1lb.) You may enter any weight from 0.1 to 6.0lbs Use the numeric pads to input weight of food to defrost in pounds (10 = 1lb.) You may enter any weight from 0.1 to 6.0lbs.t
3. Press START/+30sec. pad.
   When defrosting has finished you will hear beeps.
   The weight amount must be a valid entry for this feature to start. A valid weight entry is 0.1 to 6.0 pounds.

3.3.15 Setting Defrost by Time
Example: to defrost food with the default 30% power level for 5 minutes:

1. Press Defrost Time pad. 0:00 will appear in the display.
2. Use the number pads to enter desired defrost time (defrost time may be set up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds).
3. Press START/+30sec. pad. When heating has finished you will hear beeps.

Power levels cannot be changed for both defrost (by weight) or defrost (by time) because the defrost performance will be adversely affected.
3.3.16 Special notes for defrosting by time

• After pressing START/+30sec. key, the display will count down remaining defrost time. The oven will beep twice during the defrost cycle.
  At this time open the door and turn the food if needed and remove any portions that have already thawed. Touch the START/+30sec. key to resume the defrost cycle.

• When heating has finished you will hear beeps.

3.3.17 Defrosting tips

• When using the defrost weight feature, the weight entered should always be pounds (valid entries are from 0.1 to 6.0 pounds).
• Use both defrost weight and defrost time features for raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a true freezer). If the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5° F or below, always program a lower food weight or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.
• If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.
• The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated frozen pieces of food defrost better.
• Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.
• You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails, but do not allow the foil to touch the oven cavity walls when defrosting.

3.3.18 Defrosting suggestions for meats
For best results, please read these suggestions when defrosting meats.

fat side down. After each stage, turn the food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered for 15-30 minutes.
Steaks, chops or fish| 0.5 to 3 lbs.
(8 to 48 oz.)| After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed portions of food, shield them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Ground meat| 0.5 to 3 lbs.
(8 to 48 oz.)| After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil for 5 to 10 minutes.
Whole chicken| 2.5 to 6 lbs. (40 to 96 oz.)| Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start defrsoting with the breast side down. After the 1st stage, turn the chicken over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After the 2nd stage, again shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for 30 to 60 minutes in the refrigerator.
Chicken pieces| 0.5 to 3 lbs.
(8 to 48 oz.)| After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.

3.3.25 Cookware tips Convection Cooking
Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked products,but especially where browning or crusting is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust.
Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.
Glass or Glass-Ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.
Combination Cooking
Glass or Glass-Ceramic baking containers are recommended.Be sure not to to use items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf, damaging the cookware, the shelf or the oven.
Heat-Resistant Plastimcicrowave cookware (safe to 450°F) may be used, but it is not recommended for foods requiring crusting or all-around browning, because the plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

• Use only microwave cookware that is safe to 450 °F.

• Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
• Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if overcooked.

3.5.4 Cooking vegetables in your microwave

• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and greens are being cooked, add about ¼ cup of water.
• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.
• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. The will cook more evenly if turned over halfway through cooking.
• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.
• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
• Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cook time.
• Most of the time, the denser the food the longer the required standing time. For example, a baked potato should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of peas may be served immediately.

3.5.5 Cooking seafood in your microwave
Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork.

4.5 Cleaning suggestions
For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven fron frame free of food and grease build-up. Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a soft cloth and and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon. Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if needed. Follow these instructions to clean and care for your microwave oven:

• Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
• Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh deter- gents or abrasive cleaners.
• To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
• Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
• Clean the outside surface of the microwave with soap and a clean damp cloth. Dry with a clean soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do not let water seep into any vents or openings.
• Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft clean cloth to avoid scratching.
• If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
• Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.

4.6 How to Clean the Inside
Walls,Floor, Inside Widow, Metal and Plastic Patrs on the Door.
Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls.
To clean the surface of the door and the surface of the oven that come together upon closing, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents using a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry.
Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave.
Removable Turntable and Turntable Support To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable into water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher. The turntable and support can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate the oven without the turntable and support in place.
4.7 How to Clean the Outside
Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the microwave oven. Ammonia or alcohol can damage the appearance of the microwave. Case
Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.
Control Panel and Door
Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel— they can damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the control panel. Door Surface
It is important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the microwave. Use only mild, non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well. Power Cord If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and wash with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, sudsy water may be used, but be certain to rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before plugging cord into outlet.
Stainless Steel
Do not use a steel-wool pad;it will scratch the surface. To clean stainless steel surfaces, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Use a clean, hot,damp cloth to re- move soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.
If food soil remains, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik®, Simple Green® or Formula 409®.
For hard-to-clean soil, use a standard stain- less-steel cleaner, such as Bon- Ami ® or Cameo®.
Apply cleaner with a damp sponge. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove cleaner. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.
Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.
After cleaning, use a stainless-steel polish, such as tainless Steel Magic ®, Revere Copper and Stainless Steel Cleaner ® or Wenol All Purpose Metal Polish®. Follow the product instructions for cleaning the stainless-steel surface.
