Questions and Answers

Q. What will happen if I accidentally reverse my defrost, hold and cook instructions?

A.The oven will automatically rearrange your program. Defrosting will always come first, then hold, and then the cooking function.

Q.Can I defrost and hold only?

A.Yes. Sometimes you may only want to defrost a food, hold it, and cook it later. All you need to do is program in Time Defrost and amount of time. Then program hold and the amount of time. Be sure to put the thawed dish in the refrigerator promptly.

N~E: Let foods remain at room temperature only as long as safe. Times will vary.

Q.I programmed my oven for a specific defrosting time but it defrosted longer than necessary. What happened?

A.When instructions conflict, the oven carries out the last instruction. You may have set the oven to defrost for 4 minutes, hold for 2 minutes, and then defrost for 6 minutes. In this case, the oven would defrost for 6 minutes and hold for 2 minutes.

Questiom md -em

Q. Isetmyoven forthe time called for in the recipe, but at the end of the time allowed, my food wasn???t done. What happened?

A. Since house power varies due to time or location, many time cook recipes give you a time range to prevent overcooking. Set the oven for minimum time, test the food for doneness, and cook your food a litile longer, if necessary.

Q.I touched the number pads and selected my power level. When

Itouched ST~T, however, my oven didn???t come on. Why not?

A.The TIME COOK I pad must be touched before the number pads and START.

Q.I want tocookon a power level other than High. What do

Defrosti~ by ~me

Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of frozen foods and is one of the great

advantages of a microwave oven.

??? Power level 3 is automatically set for defrosting, but you may change this for more flexibility.

??? See the defrosting guide for defrosting help.

To become better acquainted with the Time Defrost function, defrost frozen pork chops by following the steps below.

Step 1: Place package of frozen chops in the oven and close door.

Step 2: Touch TIME DEFROST.

Display shows ???: O??? and ???ENTER DEF TIME??? flashes.

Step 3: Select one half of the toti defrosting time recommended in the defrosting guide. For example, touch 4, 0 and O for 4 minutes. Display shows ???4:00??? and ???DEF TIME??? flashes.

I How to Change %wer tivel I

After setting defrosting time, touch POWER LEVEL pad, then touch desired number for new power level.

Step 4: Touch START. ???DEF TIME??? shows and time counts down on display. When cycle is completed, the oven signals and flashes ???End;??? then automatically shuts off.

Step 5: Turn package over, close door and repeat Steps 2 and 3 to set remaining hdf of defrosting time and touch START.

Step 6: When oven signals and flashes ???End;??? open door, remove package and separate chops to finishdefrosting.

. Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package.

??? For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time.

. Family-size pre-packaged frozen entrees can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave safe dish.

. Check the defrosting guide for other defrosting tips.

Questiom and Amwe~

Q.When I press STUT, I hear a dull thumping noise. What is it?

A.This sound is normal. It is letting you know the oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High).

Q.Can I Defrost small items in

a hurry?

A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention than usual. Raise the power level after entering the time by touching the desired power level pad. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time about in 1/2; power level 10 cuts the toti defrosting time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or stir food frequently.

Q.Why don???t the defrosting timm in the defrosting guide seem right for my food?

A.These times are averages. Defrosting time can vary according to the temperature in your freezer.

Set your oven for the time indicated in the defrosting guide. If your food is still not completely thawed at the end of that time, reset your oven and adjust the time accordingly.

Q.Should all foods be completely thawed before cooking?

A.Some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking. For example, fish cooks so quic~y it is better to begin cooking while it is still slightly frozen.

Q.Can I open the door during Time Defrost to check on the progress of my food?

A.Yes. You may open the door at any time during microwaving. To resume defrosting, close the door and press START. The oven begins operating if time is left on timer.

If not, reset timer.

Care and Cleati~

Your new microwave oven is a valuable appliance. Protect it from misuse by following these rules:

??? Keep your oven clean and sweet-smelling. Opening the oven door a few minutes after cooking helps air-out the interior. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the interior fresh.

. Don???t use sharp-edged utensils with your oven. The inside and outside oven walls can be scratched. The control panel can be damaged.

??? Don???t remove the mode stirrer

cover at the top of the oven (microwave feature 6 on page 5). You will damage the oven.

BE CERTAIN POWER IS OFF

BEFORE CLEANING ANY

PART OF THIS OVEN.

How to Clean the Imide

Walls, floor and mode stirrer cover. 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 on oven wrdls.

NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL

OVEN CLEANER ON ANY PART

OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

Door (inside). Window: Wipe up spatters daily and wash when soiled with a damp cloth. Rinse thorougtiy and dry.

Metal and plastic parts on door: Wipe frequently with a damp cloth to remove all soil. DO N~

USE ABRASIVES, SUCH AS

CLEANING POWDERS OR

STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS.

THEY WILL MAR THE

SURFACE.

Special note when using Brown ???N Sear Dish: If grease is present, high heat generated on bottom of a Brown ???N Sear dish may cause the grease to burn onto

the oven floor. This may be removed with a cleanser such as Bon Ami??? brand cleanser.

After using this cleanser, rinse and dry thoroughly, following instructions on can. Do not use it on the painted surfaces such as the walls???it may scratch the paint.

How to Clean the Outiide

Case. Clean the outside of your oven with soap and damp cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth. Chrome trim is best wiped with a damp cloth and then with a dry towel.

Control Panel. 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.

Door Surface. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

Power Cord. If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and wash with 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.

Microwave Atipting

Cooti~ Techniques for

Microwavi~

Covering. In both conventional and microwave cooking, covers hold in moisture and speed heating. Conventionally, partial covering allows excess steam to escape. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper serves the same purpose when microwaving.

Arranging Food in Oven. In conventional baking, you position foods, such as cake layers or potatoes, so that hot air can flow around them. When microwaving, you arrange foods in a ring, so that all sides are exposed to microwave energy.

Stirring. In range top cooking, you stir foods up from the bottom to help them heat evenly. When microwaving, you stir cooked portions from the outside to the center. Foods which require constant stirring conventionally will need only occasional stirring.

Turning Over. In range top cooking, you turn over foods such as hamburgers, so both sides can directly conhct the hot pan. When microwaving, turning is often needed during defrosting, or when cooking foods such as hamburgers from the frozen state.

Stinding Time. In conventional cooking, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or set. Standing time is especially impo~nt in microwave cooking. Note that the microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.

Shielding. In a conventional oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When defrosting, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook before larger parts were defrosted.

Prick Foods to Release Pressure. Steam builds up pressure in foods which are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Prick potatoes (as you do conventionally), egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent bursting.

Rotiting. Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the oven helps food cook evenly. To rotate 1/2 turn, turn the dish until the side whichwai to the back of the oven is to the front. To rotate 1/4 turn, turn the dish until the side which was to the back of the oven is to the side.

Effech of Food Characteristics on MicrowaviM

Density of Food. In both conventional and microwave cooking, dense foods, such as a potato, take longer to cook or heat than light, porous foods, such as a piece of cake, bread or a roll.

Round Shapes. Since microwaves penetrate foods to about l-in. from top, bottom and sides, round shapes and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive more energy and may overcook. This may also happen when cooking conventionally.

Delicacy. Foods with a delicate texture such as custards are best cooked at lower power settings to avoid toughening.

Natural Moisture of food affects how it cooks. Very moist foods cook evenly because microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food uneven in moisture should be covered or allowed to stand so heat can disperse evenly.

Piece Size. Small pieces cook faster than large ones. Pieces which are similar in size and shape cook more evenly. With large pieces of food, reduce the power setting for even cooking.

Shape of Food. In both types of cooking, thin areas cook faster than thick ones. This can be controlled in microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside edge, and thin pieces in the center.

Stirting Temperature. Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than foods at room temperature. Timings in our recipes are based on the temperatures at which you normally store the foods.

Quantity of Food. In both types of cooking, small amounts usually take less time than large ones. This is most apparent in microwave cooking, where time is directly related to the number of servings.

Once you begin to use your microwave oven, you will soon be able to adapt most of your conventional cooking quite easily to microwave cooking techniques. The more you use your microwave oven, the more you will enjoy using it. Not only will you save the time, trouble and energy necessary in conventional cooking, you will

have more flavorful food and fewer dishes to wash. Simply cook, or reheat and serve foods in the same dish.

Before using your microwave oven, we suggest you carefully read through this guide book, then practice with our suggested recipe.

Before converting a conventional recipe for microwaving, study it in terms of microwaving. Is it one of the many foods which microwave well? Look for cooking techniques which are similar to microwaving techniques, such as covering, steaming or cooking in sauce or liquid. If the food requires a crisp, fried crust or very dry surface, you may prefer to cook it conventionally. Some recipes may not be exactly the same when microwaved, others will not need changing. (Moist, rich cakes, candies and meat loaves are examples. )

Since liquids do not evaporate when microwaved, reduce the amount in saucy casseroles. Add more thickening to sauces and gravies. Reduce some seasonings also; they will not lose intensity in short microwaving times. Salt meats and vegetables after cooking. If an ingredient takes longer to microwave than others in the same dish, precook that ingredient before adding to the others.

Conventional Method

Cut off tops of green peppers; remove seeds and membrane. Cook peppers 5 minutes in enough boiling water to cover; drain. In medium skillet on range top, cook and stir ground beef and onion until onion is tender. Drain off fat. Stir in rice, salt, pepper and garlic. Divide evenly into peppers. Arrange peppers upright in 8-in. square dish.

Heati~ or Reheati~ Guide

1.Directions below are for reheating already-cooked foods at refrigerator or room temperature. Use microwave oven safe containers.

2.Cover most Ns for fastest hwtig (see tips). Exceptions are rare or mdium meats, some sandwiches, gri~e foods like pancakes and baked foods.

3.Bubbling around edges of dish is normal, since center is last to heat. Stir foods before serving.

4.Be sure foods are heated through before serving. Steaming or bubbling around edges does not necessarily mean food is heated throughout. A a general rule, hot foods produce an area warm to the touch in center of underside of dish.

Defrosti~ Guide

1.Food packaged in all-paper or plastic packages maybe defrosted without unwrapping. If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place food in cooking dish for defrosting.

2.After first half of defrosting time, unwrap package and check food. Turn food over, if necessary; break apart or separate food if possible. On very large foods like turkey, some shielding of thin wing or leg areas may be necessary.

3.Be sure large meats are completely defrosted (or, on roasts allow extra microwaving time). Turkeys may be placed under running water until giblets can be removed.

4.When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to microwave oven very briefly, or let stand a few minutes.

Poultry

1.Use microwave trivet for chicken and other small poultry, but do not use trivet for cooking turkey breast.

2.Let chicken and other small poultry stand after microwaving for up to 10 minutes. Turkey should be allowed to stand 20 minutes.

Shield bottom of legs, wings and tail. Microwave breast side down for first half of time. Brush with browning sauce or broil top surface of cooked bird until brown and crisp.

Bma&

1.Crust on breads will be soft, outside color of foods will be same as color of batter (outsides will not brown). If desired, sprinkle top of batter with cinnamon-sugar mixture, cbopped nuts or other topping for brown color. Or, increase brown color on upside

down breads by lining dish before microwaving with brown sugar caramel mixture, or savory topping like crushed canned French fried onion rings.

MS and Cheese

1.Prepare eggs many ways in the microwave oven, see below. Always pierce whole yolks before microwaving to prevent bursting.

2.Never hard cook eggs in the shell, and do not reheat in-shell hard cooked eggs. They could explode.

3.Cook eggs just until set, they are delicate and can toughen if overcooked.

~h and Seafood

1.Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Center may still be slightly translucent, but will continue cooking as fish stands a few minutes before serving.

2.Cook fish with or without sauce. A tight cover steams fish. or use a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel for less steaming.

3.Do not overcook fish. Check at minimum time.

Vqetibles

1.Always use microwave safe cookware, glass or plastic. Cook most vegetables with tight cover to steam them. Exceptions are potatoes cooked in their skins and watery vegetables which need no water added for steam.

2.Do not salt tops of vegetables before microwaving. If desired, add salt to water in dish before adding vegetables. Salt can sometimes cause brown spots on vegetables during microwaving.

3.Cooking time for vegetables affects finished taste and texture. Minimum time on guide gives fresh taste and crisp-tender texture. For soft texture with well-developed flavor, cook maximum time or longer.

4.Size of pieces affects cooking time. Large pieces generally take longer than small uniform pieces.

5.Just as when cooking conventionally, vegetable mixtures should have similar densities or degrees of firmness in order to cook together successfully. Firm, crisp vegetables like carrots, cauliflower and broccoli microwave together well. If microwaving a firm vegetable with a soft one (carrots and peas, for example) cut the carrots in julienne strips so they will cook as fast as the peas. Or, start cooking larger carrot pieces first, and add peas during last few minutes.

Slices, pieces (l-lb.) (2-lbs.)

Vegetable Casseroles (With raw vegetables) (With precooked vegetables)

Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water. If frozen, reduce time 3 to 5 minutes because vegetables are blanched.

Prick skin of potatoes before cooking.

Cut in pieces or halves. No additional water needed.

Use large enough casserole to allow for boiling in dish.

Gmvies & Sauces

1.Because microwaved sauces evaporate less than on the range top, they are thinner than conventionally cooked sauces made with the same amount of thickening. Increase thickening by adding an extra teaspoon to 1 tablespoon flour or cornstarch for each cup

of liquid.

2.Microwaved sauces do not need to be stirred constantly but most should be whisked vigorously with wire whisk once or twice while microwaving.

3.Vary basic white sauce (see page 23) by adding cheese, e= yolks, cream or dry milk solids. Add flour with mayonnaise or wine.

Thin, liquid sauces (au jus, clam, etc.) (1 cup)

Melted butter sauces, clarified butter

(% cup)

Add cornstarch-water mixture to heated ingredients. Stir well and microwave to finish.

Microwave butter just to melt. For clarified butter, bring to boil then let stand until layers separate. Pour off and use clear top layer.

1.Always use microwave safe cookware (glass or plastic),

2.For pasta use about half the amount of water needed for conventional boiling; there is less evaporation in a microwave oven. Add regular amount salt and 1 teaspoon oil (optional, to prevent sticking).

3.For rice or minute rice, use the same amount of water and salt as with conventional boiling.

4.Cover pasta and rice tightly while microwaving. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to vent.

5.Stir or rearrange after half of cooking time. Drain pasta immediately after microwaving.

& Microwave time is about the same as conventional boiling.

Cereal

1.Always use microwave safe cookware (glass or plastic). Use large enough container to avoid spillover.

2.Start with hottest tap water to shorten cooking time.

3.Do not cover (prevents spillover).

4.Stir half-way through cooking time.

N~E: To microwave single-serving packet of instant grits, follow package directions for amount of water and microwave at High (10) for Y2 to 1 minute.

Cakes and Desserfi

1.Always use microwave safe cookware (glass or plastic).

2.Before adding batter, grease dishes but do not flour. Or, for easy removal, line dish with wax paper or paper towel.

3.Crust on cakes will be soft. Refrigerate cake if firm exterior is desirable for frosting.

4.Fruit desserts will be fresh looking and tasting.

Canties

1.Aways use microwave safe glass cookwa~. For easy cleanup, melt chocolate in paper wrap~m m side up, or place chocolate in paper bowl to melt.

2.Candies which are boded become very hot; be sure to handle cooking containers carefully.
