INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
This Installation/Use and Care Guide is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles,
techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that
a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and
counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will
influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause
as much condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back must not be blocked.
After using convection, automatic mix or broil, you will hear the sound of the cooling fan. The fan may
continue to operate as long as 5 minutes, depending on the oven temperature.
Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, convection microwave ovens have a tendency to become
hot during convection, automatic mix and broil cooking.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 900 watts using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check
food at the minimum time and add time accordingly.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food
severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: - paper towels, wax paper,
microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent
overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the
center of the dish to the outside.
• Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time
which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
