MICROWAVE OVEN USE

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which

refl ect off the metal fl oor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the

turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are

attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and w

ater molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing

friction and heat which cooks the food.

n To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or

allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.

n To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate

microwave oven when it is empty.

n The turntable must be in place and correct side up when

microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped

or broken. See the “Accessories” section to reorder.

n Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in

microwave oven.

n Clothes, fl owers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, and paper,

including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not

be dried in the microwave oven.

n Paraffi n wax will not melt in the microwave oven because

it does not absorb microwaves.

n Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from

microwave oven.

n Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended

cook time, potatoes should be slightly fi rm. Let potatoes stand

for 5 minutes. They will fi nish cooking while standing.

n Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam

buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover

poached eggs and allow a standing time.

Food Characteristics

When the microwave oven is cooking, the amount, size and shape,

starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect

cooking results.

Amount of Food

The more food that is heated at once, the longer the cook time

that is needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of

time, if necessary.

Size and Shape

Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces,

and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly

shaped food.

Starting Temperature

Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods,

and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.

Composition and Density

Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature and

will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as

meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size

of a light, porous food, such as cake.

Cooking Guidelines

Covering

Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time, and

reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is

not available, wax paper, paper towels, or plastic wrap approved

for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be

turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam.

Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during

heavy cooking.

Stirring and Turning

Stirring and turning redistributes heat evenly to avoid overcooking

the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible,

turn food over from bottom to top.

Arranging

If heating irregularly shaped or different-sized foods, arrange the

thinner parts and smaller-sized items toward the center. If cooking

several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring

pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.

Piercing

Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods

that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks,

chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places

to allow steam to vent.

8

Shielding

Use small, fl at pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of

irregularly shaped foods, bones, and foods such as chicken wings,

leg tips, and fi sh tails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section

fi rst.

Standing Time

Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat, even

after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing

time depends on the volume and density of the food.

Cookware and Dinnerware

Cookware and dinnerware must fi t on the turntable. Always

use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish

may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not

use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the

following chart as a guide, then test before using.

Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave

oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue fl ash of light) can occur

and cause damage to the microwave oven.

OK for Use

Racks and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven (on

some models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat

thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:

n To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow

aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls,

ceiling, or fl oor.

n Always use the turntable.

n To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow contact

with another metal object during microwave cooking.

Do Not Use

Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-approved

meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners, such as

sandwich wrappers, staples, and objects with gold or silver trim or

a metallic glaze, should not be used in the microwave oven.

Metal bakeware may be used only during convection (bake)

cycles. Use ovenproof, microwave-safe cookware for all other

convection and combination.

Microwave Cooking Power

Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking

power to use by percent, name, or number. For example,

70%=Medium-High=7.

Recommended Solutions

Microwave oven will

not operate

Check the following:

n Household fuse or circuit breaker: If a household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped, replace

the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

n Magnetron: Try to heat 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water for 2 minutes at 100% cooking power. If water does

not heat, try the steps in the bullets below. If microwave oven still does not operate, call for service.

n Door: Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is attached to inside of the door, remove it,

then fi rmly close door.

If a message about the door appears in the display, the door has been closed for 5 minutes or more without

the microwave oven being started. This occurs to avoid unintended starting of the microwave oven. Open

and close the door, then start the cycle.

n Control: Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is off. Make sure Demo mode (on some

models) is off.

Check the following:

n Soil buildup: Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where the

door touches the frame can cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in the “Microwave Oven Care” section.

n This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.

n “Enter clock” with fl ashing digits means there has been a power failure. Reset the clock.

n A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for assistance.

n This is normal. The microwave oven’s cooling fan, which is separate from the vent fan, automatically comes

on during microwave oven operation to cool the microwave oven. It may also automatically come on and

cycle on and off to cool the microwave oven’s controls while the cooktop below is being used.

Check the following:

n Proximity: Move the receiver away from the microwave oven, or adjust the radio or TV antenna.

n Soil: Make sure the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces are clean.

n Frequency: Some 2.4 GHz-based cordless phones and home wireless networks may experience static

or noise while microwave oven is on. Use a corded phone, a different frequency cordless phone, or avoid

using these items during microwave oven operation.
