Using Your Microwave Continued Oven Hints for cooking with more than one cycle You can program the cooking cycles in any order. However, when the microwave oven is started, it will automatically go through the cycles in the order of the examples described in this book. For example, if you program COOK 1, KEEP WARM and QUICK DEFROST, the microwave oven will automatically follow this sequence: QUICK DEFROST + (STANDING TIME) + COOK 1 + KEEP WARM.
Using PAUSE For best results, some recipes call for stirring, turning over or rearranging food, or for adding ingredients during cooking. Your microwave oven can be set to pause between COOK 1 and COOK 2, between AUTO SET and a following cycle, between QUICK DEFROST and a following cycle (except COOK l), or during QUICK DEFROST. This gives you time to stir (casseroles), turn over (meat) or rearrange (potatoes) food, or to add ingredients.
Using Your Microwave Continued Oven Using PAUSE with QUICK DEFROST Your microwave oven can be set to pause halfway through QUICK DEFROST to allow you to stir, turn over or rearrange the food for more even defrosting. 3. Touch Number Pads for the defrosting time you want. 5. Touch START. When half of the QUICK DEFROST time is remaining, you will hear 2 beeps and the oven will shut off.

CaringFor Your MicrowaveOven Cleaning the microwave oven Wipe often with warm sudsy water and a soft cloth or sponge. The glass turntable may be removed for cleaning. Wash by hand in mild detergent or in a dishwasher. Do not operate the microwave oven when turntable is removed for cleaning. For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil. Be sure to keep the areas clean where the door and oven frame touch when closed.
HowYour MicrowaveOvenWorks Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks the food. Microwaves are like TV waves or light waves. You can’t see them, but you can see what they do. Magnetron The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves through. Then they bounce off a metal floor, back through the glass turntable and are absorbed by the food.
OperatingSafetyPrecautions To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the microwave oven, follow the precautions on page 34-37. Never cook or reheat a whole egg. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst and burn you, and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard boiled eggs before heating. In rare instances, poached eggs have been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into them.
Do not heat, store or use flammable materials in or near the oven. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode resulting in damage to the oven or possible personal injury. Do not use the oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to maintain the high temperature required for safe sterilization. Do not deep fry in the oven.
Operating Safety Precautions Continued Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave approved popcorn popper or commerical package designed especially for microwave ovens. Follow directions supplied with the popper. Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag. Overcooking may result in smoke and fire. Starting a microwave oven when it’s empty is not recommended. If you experiment, put a container of water in the oven.
General information If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less than the normal 120 volts, cooking times may be longer. J To test a dish for safe US, put it into the oven with a cup of water beside it. Cook on HIGH Cook Power for one minute. If the dish gets hot and water stays cool, do not use it.

Cooking Guide INTRODUCTION 1. How Your Microwave Oven Works 2. Getting the Best Results From Your Microwave Oven Microwaves are a form of energy similar to radio and television waves. Your microwave oven is constructed in such a way as to take advantage of microwave energy. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube, and microwaves are then sent into the cooking area through openings at the top of the oven. Microwaves reflect off the metal walls of the oven.
Some of the recipes, particularly those for breads, cakes, and meats suggest that food be removed from the oven when it is still slightly undercooked. This is not a mistake. When allowed to stand, the food will continue to cook outside the oven, as the heat trapped within the outer portions of the food gradually travels inward. If the food is left in the oven until it is cooked all the way through, the outer portions will become overcooked.
Turning Over: Larger sized food such as roasts and whole poultry should be turned over so that the top and bottom will cook evenly. It is also a good idea to turn over chicken pieces and chops. Arrangement: Since dense foods cook more slowly in the microwave, it makes sense to place thicker portions of meat, poultry, fish and vegetables to the outer edge of the baking dish. This way, thicker portrons will receive the most microwave energy and the food will cook evenly.
5. Microwave-Safe Utensils Never use metal or metal-trammed utensrls in your microwave oven. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal object in the oven and cause “arcing”, whrch resembles lightning. Most heat-resistant, nonmetallic cooking utensils are safe for use in your microwave oven. However, some may contain materials that render them unsuitable for microwave cooking.
6. Some Microwaving Tips Boiling Water: Place 1 cup of water in a ~-CUP glass measure and cook uncovered 2’12 to 3% minutes at Power Level 10, or until boiling. Instant Coffee: Place 6 ounces of water in a microwavable cup or mug. Cook uncovered 2 to 21/z minutes at Power Level 10, or until hot. Stir in coffee crystals. Hot Cocoa: Place 1 or 2 teaspoons each of cocoa powder and sugar in an 8-ounce mug. Gradually add 6 ounces of milk stirring to blend.
7. Microwave Power Levels Your microwave oven is equipped with ten power levels (11 levels including 0) to give you maximum flexibility and control over cooking. When your cooking program is completed, a beep automatically sounds. The table below will give you some idea of which foods are prepared at each of the various power levels.

APPENDIX REHEATING TO heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a microwavable container. The food will heat more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or plastic wrap, vented.
