Allow the popcorn bag to cool before opening, and always open the bag facing away from your face and body to prevent steam burns.
   
   Food Preparation (continued)

3. DEEP FAT FRYING
   • DO NOT deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Cooking oils may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven and may result in burns. Microwave utensils may not withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.

4. FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS
   • 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.

• Potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before microwave cooking to prevent them from exploding.
CAUTION: Cooking dry or old potatoes can cause fire.

5. GLASS TRAY / COOKING CONTAINERS / FOIL
   • Cooking containers get hot during microwaving. Heat is transferred from the HOT food to the container and the Glass Tray. Use pot holders when removing containers from the oven or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers from cooking containers, to avoid burns.
   • The Glass Tray will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed to cool before handling or before paper products, such as paper plates or microwave popcorn bags, are placed in the oven for microwave cooking.
   • When using foil in the oven, allow at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of space between foil and interior oven walls or door.
   • Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing may occur.

6. PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS
   • DO NOT use paper towels or cloths that contain a synthetic fiber woven into them. The synthetic fiber may cause the towel to ignite. Use paper toweling under supervision.

7. BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS
   • Only use browning dishes that are designed for microwave cooking. Check browning dish information for instructions/heating chart. DO NOT preheat browning dish more than six minutes.
   • If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to package directions. DO NOT use a wire twist-tie to close bag. Instead use plastic ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag.

8. THERMOMETERS
   • DO NOT use a conventional meat thermometer in your oven. Arcing may occur. Microwave safe thermometers are available for both meat and candy.

9.  BABY FORMULA / BABY FOOD
   • DO NOT heat baby formula or baby food in the microwave oven. The glass jar or surface of the food may appear warm while the interior can be so hot as to burn the infant’s mouth and esophagus.

10. REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS
    • When reheating pastry products, check temperatures of any fillings before eating. Some foods have fillings, which heat faster and can be extremely hot, while the surface remains warm to the touch (for example, jelly donuts).

11. GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES
    • DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the preparation of food.

Defrosting Tips & Techniques 

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 under defrosted.
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.

Sensor Reheat

If desired, press More to add 20% more time than suggested. Press Less to subtract 20% cooking time.

Press Start. Reheating is complete when five beeps sound.

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 withlid or vented plastic wrap. Stir when time appears in the displaywindow.
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.

DO NOT USE SENSOR REHEAT:

1. To reheat bread and pastry products. Use manual power and time for these foods.
2. For raw or uncooked foods.
3.  If oven cavity is warm.
4. For beverages.
5. For frozen foods.

Sensor Cook

Press Sensor Cook until the number corresponding to the desired food appears in the display (see chart on the next page).

If desired, press More to add 20% more time than suggested. Press Less to subtract 20% cooking time.

Press Start. Cooking is complete when five beeps sound.

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
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. oz. (113 g).

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 areasmay 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.

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.

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, chickenlivers, 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. Steambuildup 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.
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.
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.
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.

egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
165 °F| For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carryout “fresh” food.
170 °F| For white meat poultry.
180 °F| 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.
