No other electrical appliances or lighting circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Voltage Warning The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the same as specified on the oven name plate located on the back or on the side of the control panel of the oven. Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing oven damage. Low voltage will cause slow cooking. In case your microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of proper voltage, remove and reinsert the plug. Placement of the oven Your microwave oven can be placed easily in your kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home. Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen countertop or a specially designed microwave oven cart. Do not place oven above a gas or electric range. Free air flow around the oven is important. Allow at least 4 inches of space at the top, sides, and back of the oven for proper ventilation. Do not block the air vents All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air vents are covered during oven operation the oven may overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety device automatically turns the oven off. The oven will be inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently. Radio interference 1. Microwave oven operation may interfere with TV or radio reception. 2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:

a. Clean the door and the sealing surfaces of the oven. b. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television. c. Relocate the microwave oven in relation to the TV or radio. d. Move the microwave oven away from the receiver. e. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits. 5 Safety Information GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded.

GETTING RESULTS Follow these tips to get the best results from your microwave oven. Keeping an eye on things While microwave cooking doesnt require your undivided attention and you dont have to worry about burning things, always cook for less time than stated in the recipe. You can always cook the food longer, but overcooked and burned food is ruined forever. The instructions in this book have been formulated with great care, but your success in preparing them depends on how much attention you pay to the food as it cooks. It is important that you watch your food while it cooks. Your microwave oven is equipped with a light that turns on automatically when the oven operates so that you can see inside and check the progress of your recipe. Think of the directions given in recipes as a minimum. If the food seems to be cooking unevenly, simply make the necessary adjustments you think appropriate to correct the problem. Cooking times Many factors affect cooking times. The temperature of the ingredients used in a recipe makes a big difference in cooking times. For example, a cake made with ice-cold butter, milk, and eggs takes considerably longer to bake than one made with ingredients that are at room temperature. Most recipes give you a range of cooking times. In general, food remains under-

cooked at the lower end of the time range. You may sometimes want to cook your food beyond the maximum time given, according to personal preference. The governing philosophy of this book is that it is best for a recipe to be conservative in giving cooking times. While undercooked food may always be cooked a bit more, overcooked food is ruined for good. Some of the recipes, particularly those for bread, cakes, and custard, recommend that the food be removed from the oven when it is slightly undercooked. This is not a mistake. When allowed to stand covered, these foods continue to cook outside of the oven as the heat trapped within the outer portions of the foods gradually travels inward. If the food is left in the oven until it is cooked all the way through, the outer portions may become overcooked or even burned. As you gain experience in using your microwave oven, you become increasingly skillful in estimating both cooking and standing times for various foods. 12 Placing thicker portions near the edge Since microwaves are attracted to the outer portion of foods, it makes sense to place thicker portions of meat, poultry and fish near the outer edge of the baking dish. In this way, thicker portions receive the most microwave energy and the food cooks evenly. Elevating It is a good idea to elevate thick or dense food so that microwaves are absorbed by the underside and center of the food. Piercing Food that is enclosed in a shell, skin, or membrane is likely to burst in the oven unless it is pierced prior to cooking. Such foods include both egg yolks and egg whites, clams and oysters, and many whole vegetables and fruits. Testing if cooked Since food cooks so quickly in a microwave oven, it is necessary to test it frequently. While some types of food may be left in the microwave until it is completely cooked, most food, such as meats and poultry, should be removed from the oven while it is slightly undercooked to allow for cooking outside of the oven. The internal temperature of foods rises between 5 F (3 C) and 15 F (8 C) during standing time. Allowing to stand Foods are often allowed to stand for 3 to 10 minutes after being removed from the microwave oven. Usually the foods are covered during standing time to retain heat unless they are supposed to be dry in texture (such as some cakes and biscuits). Standing allows foods to finish cooking and also helps flavors to blend and develop. Successful Cooking SPECIAL TECHNIQUES Browning Meats and poultry that are cooked fifteen minutes or longer brown lightly in their own fat. Foods that are cooked for a shorter period of time may be brushed with a browning sauce to achieve an appetizing color. The most commonly used browning sauces are Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and barbecue sauce. Add relatively small amounts of browning sauces to foods so that you dont alter the original flavor of the recipes. Covering with a lid or cling-film A cover traps heat and steam and causes food to cook more quickly. You may either use a lid or microwave cling-film with a corner folded back to prevent splitting. Covering with waxed paper Waxed paper effectively prevents spattering and helps food retain some heat. Since it makes a looser cover than a lid or cling-film, it allows the food to dry out slightly. Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel Sandwiches and many other foods containing pre-

baked bread should be wrapped prior to cooking to prevent drying out. Arranging and spacing Individual foods such as baked potatoes, small cakes, and hors doeuvres heat more evenly if placed in the oven an equal distance apart, preferably in a circular pattern. Never stack foods on top of one another. Stirring Stirring is one of the most important of all microwaving techniques. In conventional cooking, you stir foods to blend them. You need to stir microwaved food to spread and redistribute heat. Always stir from the outside towards the center since the outside of the food heats first. Turning over Large foods such as roasts and whole chickens should be turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. It is also a good idea to turn cut-up chicken and chops. 13 Successful Cooking COOKWARE GUIDE Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test cookware before using, follow these steps:

1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven. 2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware. 3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking. USE DO NOT USE Ovenproof Glass Glass treated for use in high-intensity heat includes utility dishes, bread dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles, and bowls without metallic trim. China Bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without metallic trim can be used in your oven. Plastic When using plastic wrap as a cover, make sure that the dish is deep enough so the plastic wrap does not touch the food. As the food heats, it may melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food. Place plastic wrap loosely over the top of the dish and secure it by pressing the wrap to the sides of the dish. Vent by turning back one corner of the plastic wrap. This will allow excess steam to escape. Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers, and plastic bags only for short time cooking. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food. Paper Microwave-safe paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins, and paper plates with no metallic trim or design can be used in your oven. Refer to the manufacturers label for use of any paper product in the microwave oven. Metal Utensil Metal shields food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which is a discharge of electric current. Arcing can damage your microwave oven. Metal Decoration Do not use metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. Centura Tableware The Corning Company recommends that you do not use Centura tableware and some Corelle closed-handle cups for microwave cooking. Aluminum Foil Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep all aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the walls and door of the oven. Wood Wooden bowls, boards, and baskets will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Tightly Closed Containers Tightly closed cookware can explode. Be sure to leave an opening for steam to escape from covered cookware. Brown Paper Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and could burn. Metal Twist Ties Always remove metal twist ties as they can become hot and cause a fire. 14 Successful Cooking PRECAUTIONS Place the front surface of the door three inches or more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven during normal use. Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes. They may catch fire. Use thermometers that have been approved for microwave oven cooking. To program the oven, make sure you touch the The turntable must always be in place when you center of each pad firmly since the areas between the pads will not activate the oven. A tone will sound each time a pad is touched correctly. Dont touch several pads at once. operate the oven. Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it to burst. Do not strike the control panel with silverware, There are several precautions to follow when utensils, etc. Breakage may occur. Always use caution when taking the cooking utensils out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and may be hot. See Cookware Guide earlier in this section for more information. Do not rinse cooking utensils by placing them in water immediately after cooking. This may cause breakage. Also, always allow the turntable to cool before removing it from the oven. Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or water should always be in the oven during operation to absorb the microwave energy. microwaving popcorn:

Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe container or commercial packages designed for microwave ovens. Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag that is not microwave-approved. Overcooking may result in smoke and fire. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not reuse popcorn bags. Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops. Do not leave microwave unattended while popping corn. Follow directions on bag. CLEANING NOTE: Before cleaning the oven, unplug the NOTE: Before cleaning the oven, unplug the power cord.

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 be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or plastic wrap and vented. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food. Items Cook time Special Instructions

TROUBLESHOOTING Questions and Answers Operation Question Why is the oven light not on during cooking?

Answer There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on. Have you:

Set a cooking time?

Touched START?

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?

Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?

Why does a tone sound when a pad on the control panel is touched?

Can my microwave oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long?

When the oven is plugged into wall outlet for the first time, it might not work properly. What is wrong?

Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable. No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity. The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through. The tone tells you that the setting has been entered. Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point that the food creates smoke and even possibly fire and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near the oven while you are cooking. The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when you plug in for the first time or when power resumes after a power interruption. Unplug the oven from the 120-volt household outlet and then plug it back in to reset the microcomputer. Why do I see light reflection around the outer case?

This light is from the oven light which is located between the oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven. What are the various sounds I hear when the microwave oven is operating?

The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the microwave ovens magnetron ON and OFF. The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in power the magnetron draws as it is turned ON and OFF by a mechanical switch.The change in blower speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF. Food Question Answer What is wrong when baked foods have a hard, dry, brown spot?

A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking or reheating time. Why do eggs sometimes pop?

When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk before cooking. CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell. 28 Troubleshooting Questions and Answers (continued) Food Question Answer Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry after cooking?

Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same recipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be varied for one of these reasons:

Eggs vary in size. Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator temperature another time. Eggs continue cooking during standing time. Is it possible to pop popcorn in a microwave oven?

Yes, if using one of the two methods described below:

(1) microwave-popping devices designed specifically for microwave cooking

(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that is made for specific times and power output needed Follow exact directions given by each manufacturer for its popcorn popping product and do not leave the oven unattended while the corn is being popped. If corn fails to pop after the suggested time, discontinue cooking. Overcooking could result in an oven fire. CAUTION:

Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn or attempt to pop leftover kernels. Do not pop prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn directly on the glass turntable. To avoid excessive heating of the glass turntable, place the popcorn bag on a plate. Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping slows to 2-

3 seconds between pops. Do not leave microwave unattended while popping corn. Follow directions on bag. The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As in conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands during the cooking process. If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm. CAUTION: Do not overcook. Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods. As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for food at room temperature. 29 Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking?

Why do baked potatoes sometimes burn during cooking?

Why is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking time is over?

Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator?
