    FOODSnDo not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a

    special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you usepopcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

    nDo not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will buildup inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possiblyresulting in injury.

    n Operating the microwave with no food inside for morethan a minute or two may cause damage to the ovenand could start a fire. It increases the heat around themagnetron and can shorten the life of the oven.

    nFoods with unbroken outer skin such as potatoes, hotdogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers andother giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allowsteam to escape during cooking.

    n SUPERHEATED WATER

    Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea, are able to beoverheated beyond the boiling point without appearing tobe boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container isremoved from the microwave oven is not always present.THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLYBOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR ASPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

    To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

    Do not overheat the liquid. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

    Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

    After heating, allow the container to stand in themicrowave oven for a short time before removing thecontainer.

    Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensilinto the container.

    nFoods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to boilmore rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Shouldthis occur, refer to the Care and cleaning of the ovensection for instructions on how to clean the inside of theoven.

    nAvoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lidoff. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stirfood to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to preventscalding when warming formula. The container may feelcooler than the formula really is. Always test the formulabefore feeding the baby.

    nDont defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles

    (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the containeris opened, pressure can build up. This can cause thecontainer to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

    nHot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful whenopening any containers of hot food, including popcornbags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possibleinjury, direct steam away from hands and face.

    nDo not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate andcatch fire, causing damage to your oven.

    nCook meat and poultry thoroughlymeat to at least anINTERNAL temperature of 160F and poultry to at leastan INTERNAL temperature of 180F. Cooking to these

    temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

    MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWAREDo not operate the oven in the microwave mode without the turntable and the turntable support seated and in place.The turntable must be unrestricted so it can rotate.

    Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes,measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallicsheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled suitable for microwaving.

    n If you are not sure if a dishis microwave-safe, use thistest: Place in the oven boththe dish you are testing anda glass measuring cup filledwith 1 cup of waterset themeasuring cup either in ornext to the dish. Microwave3045 seconds at high. If the dish heats, it should not beused for microwaving.

    If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cupheats, then the dish is microwave-safe.

    nIf you use a meat thermometer while microwaving, makesure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

    nOversized food or oversized metal cookware should notbe used in a microwave oven because they increase therisk of electric shock and could cause a fire.

    nSometimes the oven floor, turntable and walls canbecome too hot to touch. Be careful touching the floor,turntable and walls during and after cooking.

    n Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled papertowels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal

    flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper productscontaining nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, asthey may also ignite.

    nSome foam trays (like those that meat is packaged on)have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. Whenmicrowaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven orignite a paper towel.

    n Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.

    nNot all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens.Check the package for proper use.

    nPaper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be usedto cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent

    spattering while microwaving. Be sure to vent plasticwrap so steam can escape.

    n Cookware may become hot because of heat transferredfrom the heated food. Pot holders may be needed tohandle the cookware.

    nWhen microwaving boilable cooking pouches and tightlyclosed plastic bags, they should be slit, pierced or ventedas directed by package. If they are not, plastic could burstduring or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting ininjury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at leastpartially uncovered because they form a tight seal. Whencooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap,

    remove covering carefully and direct steam away fromhands and face.

    nUse foil only as directed in this manual. When using foil inthe microwave oven, keep the foil at least 1 away fromthe sides of the oven.

    nPlastic cookwarePlastic cookware designed formicrowave cooking is very useful, but should be usedcarefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not beas tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass orceramic materials and may soften or char if subjectedto short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures toovercooking, the food and cookware could ignite.

    Follow these guidelines:1 Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in

    strict compliance with the cookware manufacturersrecommendations.

    2 Do not microwave empty containers.

    3 Do not permit children to use plastic cookwarewithout complete supervision.

    Defrosting Tips

    n Foods frozen in paper or plastic can bedefrosted in the package. Closed packagesshould be slit, pierced or vented AFTERfood has partially defrosted. Plastic storagecontainers should be partially uncovered.

    n Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners canbe defrosted and microwaved. If the food isin a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

    n Foods that spoil easily should not be allowedto sit out for more than one hour afterdefrosting. Room temperature promotes thegrowth of harmful bacteria.

    n For more even defrosting of larger foods,such as roasts, use Time Defrost.Be surelarge meats are completely defrosted beforecooking.

    n When defrosted, food should be cool but

    softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, returnto the microwave very briefly, or let it stand afew minutes.

    Microwave terms.

    Arcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

    n metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

    n foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

    n metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.

    n recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

    Covering Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap orcovering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.

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

    Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking orto set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is notplaced on a cooling rack.

    Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excesssteam can escape.

    About changing the power level.

    Power Level

    The power level may be entered or changedbefore or during cooking. Power Levelis set forLevel 10 (high) unless it is changed.

    1 Press Cook Time.

    2 Enter your cooking time.

    3 Press Power Level.

    4 Enter new power level by using the numberpads.

    5 After you have selected the power level,wait five seconds. The display will go backto the Cook Time (Enter Time)screen

    6 Press Start/Pause.Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave

    cooking. The power levels on the microwave ovencan be compared to the surface units on a range.Each power level gives your microwave energya certain percent of the time. Power level 7ismicrowave energy 70% of the time. Power level3is energy 30% of the time. Most cooking will bedone on High (Power Level 10) which gives you100% power. Power Level 10will cook faster butfood may need more frequent stirring, rotatingor turning over. A lower setting will cook moreevenly and need less stirring or rotating of thefood. Some foods may have better flavor, textureor appearance if one of the lower settings is used.

    Use a lower power level when cooking foods thathave a tendency to boil over, such as scallopedpotatoes and some casseroles.

    Rest periods (when the microwave energy cyclesoff) give time for the food to equalize or transferheat to the inside of the food. An example of this

    is shown with Power level 3the defrost cycle. Ifmicrowave energy did not cycle off, the outsideof the food would cook before the inside wasdefrosted.

    Here are some examples of uses for various powerlevels:

    High 10 (100%): Fish, bacon, vegetables, boilingliquids.

    Med-High 7 (70%): Gentle cooking of meat andpoultry; baking casseroles and reheating.

    Medium 5 (50%): Slow cooking and tenderizing

    for stews and less tender cuts of meat.Low 2 or 3 (20 or 30%): Defrosting; simmering;delicate sauces.

    Warm 1 (10%): Keeping food warm; softeningbutter.

    NOTE: You can also change the power level duringmany cooking modes by pressing the power levelbutton entering a valid power level.
