A magnetron in the 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. ■ Do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door. ■ Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty. ■ 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 “Assistance or Service” section to reorder. ■ 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. ■ Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or deep frying. ■ 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. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time. Food Characteristics 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. 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 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. Turntable On/Off For best performance, the turntable should be on during microwave cooking. If using oversized cookware that does not turn freely on the turntable, turn the turntable off. Select turntable “Off” on the Option menu. When microwave cooking with the turntable off, food should be turned halfway through the cooking process.11 Cookware and Dinnerware 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. 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. Aluminum Foil and Metal 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: ■ Do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor. ■ Always use the turntable. ■ 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. Positioning Baking Tray Baking tray can only be used with convection cooking. Place baking tray on slide rails as shown below. Push in tray to stop position. Check that the baking tray is level. Use baking tray only in the recommended position. Microwave Cooking Power 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.
