IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including

the following:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns,

electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or

exposure to excessive microwave energy:

• Some products such as whole eggs in

the shell and sealed containers – for

example, closed glass jars – may

explode and should not be heated in

the microwave oven.

• Read all instructions before using the

microwave oven.

• Use the microwave oven only for its

intended use as described in this manual.

Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors

Microwave Oven Safety

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

• For all cord connected appliances:

Do not use an extension cord. If the power

supply cord is too short, have a qualified

electrician or serviceman install an outlet

near the microwave oven.

The microwave oven must be grounded.

In the event of an electrical short circuit,

grounding reduces the risk of electric

shock by providing an escape wire for

the electric current. The microwave

oven is equipped with a cord having a

grounding wire with a grounding plug.

The plug must be plugged into an outlet

that is properly installed and grounded.

• For a permanently connected

appliance:

The microwave oven must be

connected to a grounded, metallic,

permanent wiring system, or an

equipment grounding conductor should

be run with the circuit conductors and

connected to the equipment grounding

terminal or lead on the microwave oven.

WARNING: Improper use of the

grounding plug can result in a risk of

electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or

serviceman if the grounding instructions

are not completely understood, or if

doubt exists as to whether the

microwave oven is properly grounded.

Getting to Know Your

Microwave Oven

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the

basics you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information

before you use your oven.

The Crisper Pan reaches 436°F (210°C) in

about 2 minutes (faster than a browning dish)

How your microwave

and stays at that temperature. The bottom

Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave

energy is not hot. It causes food to make its

own heat, and it's this heat that cooks the food.

Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves

Radio interference

or light waves. You cannot see them, but you

can see what they do.

Using your microwave oven may cause

interference to your radio, TV, or similar

equipment. When there is interference,

you can reduce it or remove it by:

A magnetron in the microwave oven

produces microwaves. The microwaves

move into the oven where they contact

food as it turns on the turntable.

The glass turntable of your microwave

oven lets microwaves pass through. Then

they bounce off a metal floor, back through

the glass turntable, and are absorbed by

the food.

• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces

of the oven.

• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the

radio or television.

• Moving the receiver away from the

microwave oven.

Magnetron

For the best

cooking results

• Always cook food for the shortest

cooking time recommended. Check to see

how the food is cooking. If needed, touch

the EASY MINUTE while the oven is

operating or after the cooking cycle is over

(see the “Using EASY MINUTE” section).

• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food

being cooked about halfway through the

cooking time for all recipes. This will help

make sure the food is evenly cooked.

NOTE: Some cycles may have to be reset

if you have interrupted the cycle.

• If you do not have a cover for a dish,

use wax paper, or microwave-approved

paper towels or plastic wrap. Turn back a

corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam

during cooking.

Oven cavity

Glass turntable

Metal floor

Microwaves pass through most glass,

paper, and plastics without heating them so

food absorbs the energy. Microwaves

bounce off metal containers so food does

not absorb the energy.

The microwaves disturb water molecules

in the food. As the molecules bounce

around bumping into each other, heat is

made, like rubbing your hands together.

This is the heat that does the cooking.

Microwaves do heat the CRISPWARE™

Crisper Pan, however. The rubberized pad

on the bottom of the Crisper Pan is made of a

special material which absorbs microwaves.

This heats the pan very rapidly, browning and

crisping the bottom of the food.

Testing your

microwave oven

To test the oven put about 1 cup (250 mL) of

cold water in a glass container in the oven.

Close the door. Make sure it latches. Cook

at 100% power for 2 minutes. When the time

is up, the water should be heated.

Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven

poached eggs have been known to

explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a

standing time of one minute before cutting

into them.

Testing your dinnerware

or cookware

• For best results, stir any liquid several

times during heating or reheating.

Liquids heated in certain containers

(especially containers shaped like cylinders)

may become overheated. The liquid may

splash out with a loud noise during or after

heating or when adding ingredients (coffee

granules, tea bags, etc.).

• Microwaves may not reach the center of a

roast. The heat spreads to the center from

the outer, cooked areas just as in regular

oven cooking. This is one of the reasons

for letting some foods (for example, roasts

or baked potatoes) stand for a while after

cooking, or for stirring some foods during

the cooking time.

Test dinnerware or cookware before

using. To test a dish for safe use, put it into

the oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside

it. Cook at 100% cook power for one minute.

If the dish gets hot and water stays cool,

do not use it. Some dishes (melamine,

some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb

microwave energy, becoming too hot to

handle and slowing cooking times. Cooking

in metal containers not designed for

microwave use could damage the oven, as

could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties,

foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).

• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable

cookware is not suitable and it is difficult to

maintain appropriate deep frying

temperatures.

• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of

the recommended cooking time, potatoes

should be slightly firm because they will

continue cooking during standing time.

After microwaving, let stand for 5 minutes

to finish cooking.

• Do not operate the microwave oven

unless the glass turntable is securely in

place and can rotate freely. The turntable

can rotate in either direction. Make sure

the turntable is correct-side up in the oven.

Make sure support base is all the way on

the shaft in oven cavity floor. Handle your

turntable with care when removing it from

the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If

your turntable cracks or breaks, contact

your appliance dealer for a replacement.

Operating tips

• Never lean on the door or allow a child to

swing on it when the door is open.

• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not

heat containers, but heat from the food can

make the container hot.

NOTE: Heat from the broil element will

cause container and oven parts to become

hot. Also, the Crisper Pan always

becomes very hot when used. Use oven

mitts when touching containers, oven parts,

and pan after broiling.

• Do not use newspaper or other printed

paper in the oven.

• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,

gourds, or clothes in the oven.

• Do not start a microwave oven when it is

empty. Product life may be shortened. If

you practice programming the oven, put a

container of water in the oven. It is normal

for the oven door to look wavy after the

oven has been running for a while.

Electrical

• Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven.

Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave

oven because it allows microwaves to pass

through it.

connection

Your microwave is connected to a 110-volt

side of the 240-volt circuit required for the

lower oven. If the incoming voltage to the

microwave is less than 110 volts, cooking

times may be longer. Have a qualified elec-

trician check your electrical system.

• When you use a browning dish, the

browning dish bottom must be at least

⁄16

in (5 mm) above the turntable. Follow the

directions supplied with the browning dish.

• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside

the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may

cause them to burst and burn you, and

possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-

boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases,

Microwave Cooking

Cooking at different cook powers

For best results, some recipes call for

different cook powers. The lower the cook

power, the slower the cooking. Each

Number pad also stands for a different

percentage of cook power. Many microwave

cookbook recipes tell you by number,

percent, or name which cook power to use.

The following chart gives the percentage of

cook power each Number pad stands for,

and the cook power name usually used. It

also tells you when to use each cook power.

Follow recipe or food package instructions if

available.

NOTE: Refer to a reliable cookbook for

cooking times

Weight conversion chart

You are probably used to food weights as being in pounds and ounces that are fractions of

a pound (for example, 4 ounces equals ¹⁄

pound). However, in order to enter food weight in

CUSTOM DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound. If the weight on the

food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following chart to convert the

weight to decimals.

Defrosting tips

• When using CUSTOM DEFROST, the

weight to be entered is the net weight in

pounds, and tenths of pounds (the weight

of the food minus the container).

• As food begins to defrost, separate the

pieces. Separated pieces defrost more

evenly.

• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to

shield parts of food such as chicken wings,

leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get

warm. Make sure the foil does not touch

the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The

foil can damage the oven lining.

• For better results, a preset standing

time is included in the defrosting time.

This may make the defrosting time seem

longer than expected.

• CUSTOM DEFROST gives best results when

food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (-18°

C) or colder.

• If the food is kept outside the freezer for

more than 20 minutes, and for defrosting

ready-made food, defrost by time and power

and let stand after defrosting.

• The shape of the package affects how

quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages

will defrost more quickly than a deep block.

Cooking Guide

Cooking tips

Amount of food

Covering food

Cover food to:

• If you increase or decrease the amount

of food you prepare, the time it takes to

cook that food will also change. For

example, if you double a recipe, add a

little more than half the original cooking

time. Check for doneness and, if neces-

sary, add more time in small increments.

• Reduce splattering

• Shorten cooking times

• Retain food moisture

All coverings that allow microwaves to

pass through are suitable.

Releasing pressure in foods

Starting temperature of food

• Several foods (for example: baked

potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some

fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or

membrane. This can cause the food to

burst from steam building up in them

during cooking. To relieve the pressure and

to prevent bursting, pierce these foods

before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or

toothpick.

• The lower the temperature of the food

being put into the microwave oven, the

longer it takes to cook. Food at room

temperature will be reheated more quickly

than food at refrigerated temperature.

Composition of food

• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be

heated faster than food containing a lot

of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a

higher temperature than water in the

cooking process.

• The more dense the food, the longer it

takes to heat. “Very dense” food like meat

takes longer to reheat than lighter, more

porous food like sponge cakes.

Using standing time

• Always allow food to stand for a while

after cooking. Standing time after

defrosting, cooking, or reheating always

improves the results since the temperature

will then be evenly distributed throughout

the food.

• The length of the standing time depends

on the volume and density of the food.

Sometimes it can be as short as the time

it takes you to remove the food from the

oven and take it to the serving table.

However, with larger, denser food, the

standing time may be as long as 10

minutes.

Size and shape

• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster

than larger pieces and same-shaped

pieces of food cook more evenly than

irregularly shaped foods.

• With unevenly shaped foods, the thinner

parts will cook faster than the thicker

areas. Place the thinner parts of chicken

wings and legs in the center of the dish.

Stirring, turning foods

• Stirring and turning foods distributes

heat quickly to the center of the dish and

avoids overcooking at the outer edges of

the food.

Cooking Guide

Arranging food

For best results, distribute food evenly on

the plate. You can do this in several ways:

If you use aluminum containers without

package instructions, follow these guidelines:

• If you are cooking several items of the

same food, such as baked potatoes,

place them in a ring pattern for uniform

cooking.

• When cooking foods of uneven shapes

or thickness, such as chicken breasts,

place the smaller or thinner area of the

food towards the center of the dish where

it will be heated last.

• Place container in a glass bowl and add

some water so that it covers the bottom

of the container, not more than ¹⁄

inch

(6 mm) high. This ensures even heating

of the container bottom.

• Always remove the lid to avoid damage

to the oven.

• Use only undamaged containers.

• Do not use containers taller than ³⁄

inch

• Layer thin slices of meat on top of

each other.

(19 mm).

• Container must be at least half filled.

• When you cook or reheat whole fish,

score the skin – this prevents cracking.

Shield the tail and head of whole fish with

small pieces of foil to prevent overcooking

but ensure the foil does not touch the

sides of the oven.

• Do not let food or a container touch the

top or sides of the oven. This will prevent

possible arcing.

• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum

⁄

inch (6 mm) between the aluminum

container and the walls of the oven and

also between two aluminum containers.

• Always place container on turntable.

• Reheating food in aluminum foil

containers usually takes up to double the

time compared to reheating in plastic, glass,

china, or paper containers. The time when

food is ready will vary depending upon the

type of container you use.

Using aluminum foil containers

Metal containers should not be used in a

microwave oven. There are, however, some

exceptions. If you have purchased food

which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil

container, then refer to the instructions on

the package. When using aluminum foil

containers, cooking times may be longer

because microwaves will only penetrate

the top of the food.

• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after

heating so that heat is spread evenly

throughout container.

Cooking you should not do in

your microwave oven

• Do not do canning of foods in the oven.

Closed glass jars may explode, resulting

in damage to the oven.

• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize

objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to

maintain the high temperature required for

safe sterilization.

Caring for Your Microwave

Oven

Your CRISPWAVE microwave oven has a

stainless steel interior. Unlike painted steel

interiors found in most other microwave

ovens, the surface will not chip, rust or cor-

rode. Over time, stains can occur on the

stainless steel surface as the result of food

particles splattering during cooking. This is

normal.

For exterior surfaces and control panel:

Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner.

Apply the spray glass cleaner to the soft

cloth; do not spray directly on the oven.

NOTE: Abrasive cleaners, steel-wool

pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper

towels, etc., can damage the control panel

and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.

• Do not use metal scouring pads, steel

wool or soap-filled scouring pads on the

inside oven cavity. They will scratch the

surface.

• Rub in the direction of the grain line to

avoid marring the surface.

To clean turntable and turntable support,

wash in mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled

areas, use a mild cleanser and scouring

sponge. The turntable and turntable support

are dishwasher safe.

• Always wipe dry to avoid water marks.

• If commercial cleaners are used, follow

label directions. If product contains

chlorine (bleach), wipe thoroughly with

clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free

cloth. Chlorine is a corrosive substance.

You can remove the glass turntable to clean

the oven cavity floor; however, this oven is

designed to operate with the turntable in

place. Do not operate the microwave oven

when the turntable is removed for cleaning.

See the “how your microwave oven works”

section for more information about the

turntable.

For interior surfaces: Wash often with

warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft

cloth. Use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or a

mild detergent. Be sure to keep the areas

clean where door and oven frame touch

when closed. Wipe well with clean water.

To clean the Broiling Grid, wash with

steel-wool pad and warm, soapy water. Grid

is dishwasher-safe.

To clean CRISPWARE™ Crisper Pan,

wash in mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled

areas use a mild cleanser and scouring

sponge. Pan is dishwasher safe.

For stubborn soil, boil 1 cup (250 mL) of

water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam

will soften the soil. To get rid of odors inside

the oven, boil 1 cup (250 mL) of water with

lemon juice or vinegar.

Questions and Answers

ANSWERS

QUESTIONS

No. If you remove or turn over the turntable,

you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used

in your oven must fit on the turntable.

Can I operate my microwave oven without

the turntable or turn the turntable over to

accommodate a large dish?

You can use a rack only if rack is supplied with

your microwave oven. Use of any rack not

supplied with the microwave oven can result in

poor cooking performance and/or arcing.

Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so

that I may reheat or cook on two levels at

a time?

Usable metal includes aluminum foil for

skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is

⁄

inch [19 mm] deep and half filled with food

to absorb microwave energy). When broiling

or using CRISP, use the specially designed

CRISPWARE™ Crisper Pan that comes with

your oven. Never allow metal to touch walls

or door. (For more information, see “Cooking

tips” in the “Cooking Guide” section.)

Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or

counterclockwise, depending on the rotation

of the motor when the cooking cycle begins.

Is it normal for the turntable to turn in

either direction?

This appearance is normal and does not

affect the operation of your oven.

Sometimes the door of my microwave oven

appears wavy. Is this normal?

You hear the sound of the transformer when

the magnetron tube cycles on.

What are the humming noises that I hear

when my microwave oven is operating?

As the food becomes hot it will conduct the

heat to the dish. Also, when broiling remember

that the Crisper Pan is made of a special mate-

rial that absorbs microwave energy, making the

pan very hot for browning. Use hot pads or the

Crisper Pan handle to remove food after cook-

ing and broiling.

Why does the dish become hot when I

microwave food in it? I thought that this

should not happen.

“Standing time” means that food should be

removed from the oven and covered for

additional time to allow it to finish cooking.

This frees the oven for other cooking.

What does “standing time” mean?

Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn

following manufacturer’s guidelines or use

the preprogrammed Popcorn pad. Do not

use regular paper bags. Use the “listening

test” by stopping the oven as soon as the

popping slows to a “pop” every one or two

seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels.

Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.

Questions and Answers

ANSWERS

QUESTIONS

Steam is normally produced during cooking.

The microwave oven has been designed to

vent this steam out the top vents.

Why does steam come out of the air

exhaust vent?

The bottom of your Crisper Pan is coated

with a special material that absorbs the mag-

netic part of the microwave energy. This

material becomes very hot and transfers heat

to the bottom of the Crisper Pan for higher

temperature cooking.

How does my CRISPWARE™ Crisper Pan

aid browning and crisping?

Sparking is caused by burning off of fat from

past cooking. It will stop when fat is all burned

off of the oven.

Sometimes I notice sparking when broiling.
