13 / ENMicrowave Oven / User Manual

Microwave utensil guide

Use Do not use

Oven proof glass (specifically treated for high

intensity heat):

Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates,

liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without

metallic trim.

China:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without

metallic trim.

Plastic:

Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the plastic wrap loosely

over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic

wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess

steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough

so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food. Use

plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and

plastic bags for short cooking times. Use these with

care because the plastic may soften from the heat of

the food.

Paper:

Paper towls, waxed paper, paper napkins and paper

plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the

manufacturer’s label for any special instructions for

use in the microwave oven.

Metal utensils:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and

produces uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers,

thermometers or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause

arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.

Metal decoration:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without

metallic trim.

Aluminum foil:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they

hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use

small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings.

Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side

walls of the oven cavity and door of the microwave.

Wood:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split

or crack when you use them in the microwave oven.

Baskets made of wood will react in the same way.

Tightly covered utensils:

Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape

from covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of

vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly

closed pouches may explode.

Brown paper:

Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and

can burn.

Flawed or chipped cooking utensils:

Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may

break in the oven.

Metal twist ties:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.

They become hot and could cause a fire.

9. Press Start/+ 30 sec. pad.

When heating has finished you will hear beeps .

CPower level must always be programmed for first stage - 100% =10.

3.3.10 Suggestions for getting the best results

To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions

below;

• Storage temperature

Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods would at room

temperature.

3 Operation

17 / ENMicrowave Oven / User Manual

• Size

Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones.

Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more

evenly when cooked together. For more even re-

sults, reduce the power levels when cooking large

pieces of food.

• Natural moisture

Very moist foods cook more evenly because mi-

crowave energy heats water molecules very effi-

ciently.

• Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from

the outside to the center to distribute the heat

more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster.

Constant stirring is not necessary.

• Turn over items

Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or

whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time.

This will help to expose all sides equally to micro-

wave energy.

• Food placement

Place delicate areas of food items, such as aspar-

agus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.

• Food arrangement

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken

pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts

toward the outside of the turntable tray.

• Let the food stand

After removing the food from the microwave, cover

the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand

to finish cooking. This will help the food finish in

the center and avoids overcooking the out edges,

The length of stand time depends on the density

and surface area of the food items.

• Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper

Sandwiches and many other food types contain-

ing prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to

placing in the microwave to help prevent the food

items fro drying out while heating.

3.3.11 Using Ready Set

2

Microwave heating or cooking may be quickly set

at 100% power level for 1, 2 or 3 minutes. Use the

number keys 1, 2 or 3 to choose the desired min-

utes of cook time (this option will only work using

the 1, 2 or 3 numeric pads):

Example: To quickly heat for 2 minutes at 100%

power:

Touch number pads 1, 2 or 3 for desired minutes

of cook time.

CThe Ready Set function cannot be

set when using the Defrost (by

weight) feature.

3.3.12 Exhaust High / Low / Off

The exhaust ventilation moves steam and other

cooking vapors from the cooking surface of the

range below the microwave oven.

To operate the exhaust vent, Touch the Exhaust

Hi.Lo.Off pad once for the highest speed setting.

Touch the pad again to choose the Low speed set-

ting and a 3rd time to turn the exhaust ventilation

off.

matically turn on at the LOW setting

to cool the oven. The will automati-

cally turn off when the internal parts

are cool. When this occurs, the vent

cannot be turned off.

3.3.14 Setting Defrost by Weight

Example: To defrost 1lb. of food with the default

power level and cook time determined automat-

ically:

1. Press Defrost Weight pad once. 0.0 will

appear in the display.

2. Use the numeric pads to input weight of food

to defrost in pounds (10 = 1lb.) You may enter

any weight from 0.1 to 6.0lbs Use the numeric

pads to input weight of food to defrost in pounds

(10 = 1lb.) You may enter any weight from 0.1

to 6.0lbs.t

3. Press START/+30sec. pad.

When defrosting has finished you will hear beeps.

CThe weight amount must be a valid

entry for this feature to start. A valid

weight entry is 0.1 to 6.0 pounds.

3.3.15 Setting Defrost by Time

Example: to defrost food with the default 30%

power level for 5 minutes:

1. Press Defrost Time pad. 0:00 will appear in

the display.

2. Use the number pads to enter desired defrost

time (defrost time may be set up to 99 minutes

and 99 seconds).

3. Press START/+30sec. pad.

When heating has finished you will hear beeps.

CPower levels cannot be changed for

both defrost (by weight) or defrost

(by time) because the defrost per-

formance will be adversely affected.

3.3.16 Special notes for defrosting by

time

•After pressing START/+30sec. key, the display

will count down remaining defrost time. The

oven will beep twice during the defrost cycle.

At this time open the door and turn the food if

needed and remove any portions that have al-

ready thawed. Touch the START/+30sec. key

to resume the defrost cycle.

•When heating has finished you will hear beeps.

3.3.17 Defrosting tips

•When using the defrost weight feature, the

weight entered should always be pounds (valid

entries are from 0.1 to 6.0 pounds).

•Use both defrost weight and defrost time fea-

tures for raw food items only. Defrosting gives

best results when food to be thawed is a mini-

mum of 0°F (taken directly from a true freezer). If

the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer

that does not maintain a temperature of 5° F

or below, always program a lower food weight

or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.

•If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer

for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time

or weight.

•The shape of the package will alter the defrost-

ing time. Shallow rectangular food packets de-

frost more quickly than a deep frozen block of

food.

•Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Sepa-

rated frozen pieces of food defrost better.

•Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of

foil if they start to become warm.

•You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to

shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and

fish tails, but do not allow the foil to touch the

oven cavity walls when defrosting.

3.3.20 Convection cooking

There are ten temperatures of convection:100F, 150F, 250F, 275F, 300F, 325F, 350F, 375F, 400F, 425F.

Convection cooking uses a heating element to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven, Any oven

temperature form 100˚F to 425˚F may be set, A fan gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven,

over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rick, moist interiors.

Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around

the food, some foods cook than in regular oven cooking.

For Best Results...

Always use the shelf when convection cooking. Reduce package/recipe temperature 25˚F for baked

goods. The self is required for good air circulation and even browning.

See the Cookware Tips section (P20) for information on suggested cookware.
