Microwaving Tips
● Make sure all cookware used in
your microwave oven is suitable
for microwaving. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard cups,
pottery or china dinnerware which
does not have metallic trim or
glaze with a metallic sheen can be
used. Some cookware is labeled
“suitable for microwaving.”
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
● Do not immerse power cord
or plug in water.
When using electrical
appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed,
including the following:
● Keep power cord away from

Q. Can I defrost and hold only?
Using a Holding Time
A. Yes. Sometimes you may only
want to defrost a food, hold it, and
cook it later. All you need to do is
program in defrost and amount of
time. Then program the hold time
and the amount of cooking time.
Be sure to put the thawed dish in
the refrigerator promptly.
The Minute/Second Timer can also
be used to program a “holding
time” between microwave cooking
functions. The time can range from
one second to 99 minutes and 99
seconds. A holding or standing
time may be found in some of your
own recipes or in the Cooking
Guide.
Step 4: Set standing or hold time
by touching MIN/SEC TIMER.
Step 5: Touch 1,0,0 and O to hold

NOTE: Foods that are highly
perishable, such as milk, eggs,
fish, stuffings, poultry and pork

would defrost for 6 minutes and

Glossary of Microwave Terms
Arcing. Sparks caused by too much metal in the
microwave oven or metal touching the side of the oven
or foil that is not molded to food.
When adapting recipes for the microwave, it is best
to start with a familiar recipe. Knowing how the
food should look and taste will help when adapting
recipes for microwaving. Foods that require
browning or crisp, dry surfaces will cook better
conventionally.
Prick Foods to Release Pressure. Steam builds up
pressure in foods that are tightly covered by a skin or
membrane. Prick foods, such as potatoes (as you do
conventionally), egg yolks and chicken livers, to
prevent bursting.
● Moist foods, such vegetables, fruits, poultry
seafood, microwave well.
Rotating. Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the oven
helps food cook more evenly. To rotate 1/2 turn, turn
the dish until the side that was to the back of the oven is
to the front. To rotate 1/4 turn, turn the dish until the
side that was to the back of the oven is to the side.
● Rich foods, such as bar cookies, moist cakes and
candies, are suitable for microwaving because their
high fat and sugar content.
● Reduce conventional cooking time by one-half to
third. Check
overcooking.
after minimum time to avoid
Basic Microwave Guidelines
● Small amounts of butter or oil can be used for
flavoring, but are not needed to prevent sticking.
Density of Food. In both conventional and microwave
cooking, dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to
cook than light, porous foods, such as
pieces of cake.
● Seasonings may need to be reduced. Salt meats and
vegetables after cooking.
bread or
Covering. both conventional and microwave
Round Shapes. Since microwaves penetrate foods to
about one inch from top, bottom and sides, round
shapes and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive
more energy and may overcook. This may also happen
when cooking conventionally.
cooking, covers hold in moisture,
for more even
heating and reduce cooking time. Conventionally,
partial covering allows excess steam to escape. Venting
plastic wrap or covering with wax paper serves the
same purpose when microwaving.
Delicacy. Foods with a delicate texture, such as
custards, are best cooked at lower power settings to
avoid toughening.
Venting. After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you
vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so
excess steam can escape.
Natural Moisture of food affects how it cooks. Very
moist foods cook evenly because microwave energy is
attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in
moisture should be covered or allowed to stand so heat
can disperse evenly.
Arranging Food in Oven. In conventional baking, you
position foods, such as cake layers or potatoes, so hot
air can flow around them. When microwaving, you
arrange foods in a ring, so that all sides are exposed to
microwave energy.
Piece Size. Small pieces cook faster than large ones.
Pieces that are similar in size and shape cook more
evenly. With large pieces of food, reduce the power
setting for even cooking.
Stirring. range-top cooking, you stir foods up from
the bottom to heat them evenly. When microwaving,
you stir cooked portions from the outside to the center.
Foods that require constant stirring conventionally will
need only occasional stirring when microwaving.
Shape of Food. In both types of cooking, thin areas
cook faster than thick areas. This can be controlled in
microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside
edge and thin pieces in the center.
Turning Over. In range-top cooking, you turn over
foods, such as hamburgers, so both sides can directly
contact the hot pan. When microwaving, turning is
often needed during defrosting or when cooking certain
foods, such as frozen hamburgers.
Starting Temperature. Foods taken from the freezer or
refrigerator take
to cook than foods at room
temperature. Timings in our recipes are based on the
temperatures at which you normally store the foods.
Standing Time. In conventional cooking, foods such as
roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or
to set. Standing time is especially important in
microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is
not placed on a cooling rack.
Quantity of Food. In both types of cooking, small
amounts usually take less time than large amounts. This
is most apparent in microwave cooking, where time is
directly related to the number of servings.
Shielding. In a conventional oven, you shield chicken
breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When
microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin
parts, such the tips of wings and legs on poultry,
which would cook before larger parts.
Shelf (on models so equipped). Use the shelf to heat
more than one dish at one time. Take the shelf out when
you are not using it.

Foil-lined paper bags and boxes
Foil baking trays
You can use foil trays that are no higher than 3/4-in. (Foil or metal will
reflect microwaves and cause uneven heating. ) Arcing can occur if foil
is closer than 1 inch to oven walls,
Use for shielding.
Aluminum foil
Do not use. Microwave-safe thermometers and skewers are available.
Metal or partially metal pots, pans,
thermometers, skewers and twist ties
Generally, glass jars can be used to warm food. However, do not heat
baby food in jars, even without lids, because food will heat unevenly.
Do not warm foods in narrow-necked bottles because pressure can

Cookware Tips
● Always check the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations before using any cookware
in the oven.
● Before purchasing cookware or preparing food in
cookware, check its size to make sure it will fit
in the oven.
● For best cooking results select a dish that matches
the size or amount of food being prepared.
