MICROWAVEOVENUSE
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which
reflect off the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the
turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are
attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in
the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat
which cooks the food.
• To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or
allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
• To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate
when it is empty.
• Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in
microwave oven.
• Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including
brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in
microwave oven.
• Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it
does not absorb microwaves.
• Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from
microwave oven.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended
cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes
stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
• Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst, requiring
significant cleanup of microwave oven cavity. Cover poached
eggs and allow a standing time.
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting
temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking
results.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time 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.
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 redistribute 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.
Shielding
Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of
irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken
wings, leg tips and fish tail. See "Aluminum Foil and Metal" first.
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 must fit 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.
MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Aluminum Foil, See "Aluminum Foil and Metal" section.
Metal
Browning Dish Bottom must be at least 3/16" (5 mm)

To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:
1. Place cookware or dinnerware in microwave oven with
1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it.
2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute.
Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the
water stays cool.
6
Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from
the microwave oven.
Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave
oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash 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:
• To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow
aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls,
ceiling or floor.
• Always use the turntable.
• 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.
Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking
power to use by percent, name or number. For example,
70%=7=Medium-High.
Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested
cooking power of specific foods.

• Ne pas faire cuire les pommes de terre excessivement. A la
fin de la duree de cuisson recommandee, les pommes de
terre devraient etre legerement fermes. Laisser les pommes
de terre reposer pendant 5 minutes. Elles ach6veront de cuire
pendant cette periode.
• Ne pas faire cuire ou rechauffer des ceufs entiers avec leur
coquille. La vapeur accumulee dans les ceufs entiers pourrait
les faire eclater, ce que exigerait le nettoyage significatif de la
cavite du four h micro-ondes. Recouvrir les ceufs poches et
les laisser reposer.
Lors de la cuisson au four h micro-ondes, la quantite, la taille, la
forme, la temperature de debut, la composition et la densite de
raliment affectent les resultats de cuisson.
Quantit_ d'aliments
La quantite d'aliments chauffes influencera la duree de cuisson.
Verifier le degre de cuisson et prolonger legerement la duree si
necessaire.
Taille et forme
Des morceaux plus petits d'aliments cuiront plus vite que les
gros morceaux, et les aliments uniformes cuiront plus egalement
que les aliments de forme irreguliere.
Temperature de d_but
Les aliments a temperature ambiante chaufferont plus vite que
les aliments refrigeres, et les aliments refrigeres chaufferont plus
vite que les aliments congeles.
Composition et densit_
Les aliments a haute teneur en gras et en sucre atteindront une
temperature plus elevee et chaufferont plus vite que les autres.
Les aliments Iourds et denses, tels que la viande et les pommes
de terre, demandent un temps de cuisson plus long qu'un
aliment de la meme taille, leger et poreux tel que les g&teaux.

Recouvrement
Le recouvrement des aliments aide a retenir I'humidite, reduire le
temps de cuisson et reduire les @laboussures. Utiliser le
couvercle fourni avec I'ustensile de cuisson. S'il n'y a pas de
couvercle disponible, du papier paraffine, un essuie-tout ou de la
pellicule de plastique approuvee pour les micro-ondes peuvent
_tre utilises. La pellicule de plastique doit _tre retournee &un coin
pour fournir une ouverture a I'@happement de la vapeur. La
condensation sur les surfaces de la porte et de la cavite est
normale pendant une cuisson intense.
Remuer et tourner
Remuer et tourner les aliments redistribue la chaleur de maniere
egale pour @iter la cuisson excessive des bords des aliments.
M61anger de I'exterieur vers le centre. Si possible, retourner les
aliments.
Disposition
S'il s'agit d'aliments de forme irreguliere ou de dimensions
differentes, les parties plus minces et les morceaux plus petits
doivent _tre disposes pres du centre. Si I'on cuit phsieurs
aliments de m_me taille et de m_me forme, les placer dans un
cercle, en laissant le centre du cercle vide.
D_gagement de la pression
Avant le chauffage, utiliser une fourchette ou un petit couteau
pour percer les aliments qui ont une peau ou une membrane, tels
que les pommes de terre, jaunes d'ceufs, foies de poulet, hot
dogs et saucisses. Percer en plusieurs endroits pour laisser
@happer la vapeur.
Protection
Utiliser du papier d'ahminium en petits morceaux plats pour
proteger les parties minces d'aliments de forme irreguliere, les
os, et des aliments tels que les ailes et pilons de poulet et les
queues de poisson. Voir en premier "Papier d'ahminium et
metal".
Temps de repos
Les aliments continueront a cuire par la conduction naturelle de
la chaleur m_me Iorsque le programme de micro-ondes sera
termin& La duree du temps de repos d@end du volume et de la
densite de I'aliment.
Les ustensiles de cuisson et la vaisselle doivent pouvoir _tre
places sur le plateau rotatif. Toujours utiliser des mitaines de four
ou des maniques Iors de la manipulation parce que tout plat peut
devenir chaud a cause de la chaleur transmise par les aliments.
Ne pas utiliser des ustensiles de cuisson ou de la vaisselle avec
une garniture en or ou en argent. Utiliser le tableau suivant
comme guide, ensuite faire un test avant I'utilisation.
