IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement (U.S.A. Only)

This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with limits for ISM Equipment pursuant to part 18 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following:

  • Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
  • Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
  • Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
  • Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and the receiver are on different branch circuits.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized modification to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility of the user to correct such interference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference.

A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.

NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise. See page 23 for complete instructions.

ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.

When using the microwave oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the microwave oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.

The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your microwave oven is rated 1000 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

  • Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
  • Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
  • Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
  • Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
  • Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.
  • Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
  • Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
  • Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to fi nish cooking without overcooking.
  • Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached.

Doneness signs include:

  • Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
  • Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
  • Poultry thigh joints move easily.
  • Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
  • Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

ABOUT FOOD

FOODDODON'T
Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds, fruits & vegetables· Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent “explosion”. · Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes.· Cook eggs in shells. · Reheat whole eggs. · Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
Popcorn· Use specially bagged popcorn for microwave cooking. · Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special popcorn pad.· Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls. · Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.
Baby food· Transfer baby food to small dish and heat carefully, stirring often. Check temperature before serving. · Put nipples on bottles after heating and shake thoroughly. “Wrist” test before feeding.· Heat disposable bottles. · Heat bottles with nipples on. · Heat baby food in original jars.
General· Cut baked goods with filling after heating to release steam and avoid burns. · Stir liquids briskly before and after heating to avoid “eruption”. · Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to prevent boilovers.· Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air tight containers. · Can in the microwave as harmful bacteria may not be destroyed. · Deep fat fry. · Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.

Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating:

  • glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®.
  • heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)
  • microwave-safe plastics
  • paper plates
  • microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
  • browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time. Follow manufacturer's directions.)

These items can be used for short time reheating of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:

- wood, straw, wicker

DO NOT USE

• metal pans and bakeware
• dishes with metallic trim
• non-heat-resistant glass
• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
• recycled paper products
- brown paper bags
- food storage bags
- metal twist-ties

Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the microwave oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.

The following coverings are ideal:

  • Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
  • Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
  • Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
  • Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.
  • Microwave oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can escape.

How to use aluminum foil in your microwave oven:

  • Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly.
  • Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of the microwave oven.

Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.

ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE

Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.

As with any appliance, close supervision by an adult is necessary when used by children.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave oven door.

Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.

Don't assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. See page 20 for Child Lock feature.

ABOUT SAFETY

- Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.

TEMP FOOD

145°F(63°C)- For beef, lamb or veal cut into steaks, chops or roasts, fi sh
160°F(71°C)- For fresh pork, ground meat, seafood, egg dishes, frozen prepared food and beef, lamb or veal cut into steaks, chops or roasts
165°F(74°C)- For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, deli and carry out “fresh” food, whole chicken or turkey, chicken or turkey breasts and ground poultry used in chicken or turkey burgers

Porter & Charles EM044K10 - ABOUT SAFETY - 1

NOTE

Do not cook whole, stuffed poultry. Cook stuffing separately to 165°F.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

  • ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
  • Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.
  • Stay near the microwave oven while it's in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
  • NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
  • Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
  • Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fi res.
  • Use care when removing items from the microwave oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.
  • Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch away from walls, ceiling and door.

MANUAL COOKING

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 features for raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum 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 defrosting time. Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food.

  • Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated 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.

Defrosting suggestions for meats

For best results, please read these suggestions when defrosting meats.

MeatNormal amountSuggestions
Roast beef or pork2.5 to 6 lbs.(40 to 96 oz.)Start with the food placed fat side down. After each stage, turn the food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered for 15-30 minutes.
Steaks, chops or fish0.5 to 3 lbs.(8 to 48 oz.)After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed portions of food, shield them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Ground meat0.5 to 3 lbs.(8 to 48 oz.)After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil for 5 to 10 minutes.
Whole chicken2.5 to 6 lbs.(40 to 96 oz.)Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start defrsoting with the breast side down. After the 1st stage, turn the chicken over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After the 2nd stage, again shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for 30 to 60 minutes in the refrigerator.

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.

- 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 results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.

- Natural moisture

Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.

- 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 microwave energy.

- Food placement

Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus 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 containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out while heating.

Cooking poultry in your microwave

Be sure to place poultry on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Cover poultry with wax paper to prevent splattering. Use narrow strips of aluminum foil to shield any bone tips or thin meat areas, or areas that start to overcook. After cooking, check the temperature in several places before letting the meat stand the recommended time.

Cooking eggs in your microwave

  • Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
  • Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

- Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if overcooked.

COOKING CHARTS

Cooking vegetables in your microwave

  • Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and greens are being cooked, add about 1/4 cup of water.
  • Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.
  • Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. The will cook more evenly if turned over halfway through cooking.
    • Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.

  • When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.

  • Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
  • For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cook time.
  • Most of the time, the denser the food the longer the required standing time. For example, a baked potato should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of peas may be served immediately.

Cooking seafood in your microwave

Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.

SeafoodCook time/power levelDirections
Fish steaksUp to 1 1/2 lbs.Cook time: 7-11 min./lb.Power level: med-high (7)Arrange fish on roasting rack with meaty portions towards the outside of rack. Cover with wax paper. Turn over and rearrange halfway through cook time. Cook until fish flakes easily with fork. Let stand 3-5 mins.

Cleaning suggestions

For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven fron frame free of food and grease build-up.

Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a soft cloth and and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.

Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.

Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if needed.

Follow these instructions to clean and care for your microwave oven:

  • Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
  • Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
  • Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
  • Clean the outside surface of the microwave with soap and a clean damp cloth. Dry with a clean soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do not let water seep into any vents or openings.

  • Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft clean cloth to avoid scratching.

  • If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
  • Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
