Overvi

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

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

HOW YOUR MICROWAVE HOOD COMBINATION WORKS

Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to

make its own heat, and it is this heat that cooks the

food. Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves,

or light waves. You cannot see them, but you can

see what they do.

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.

Sensor Cooking

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 Microwave System features Sensor Cooking

functions. A humidity sensor in the oven cavity

detects moisture and humidity emitted from food

as it heats. The sensor adjusts cooking times to

various types and amounts of food. Sensor cooking

takes the guess work out of microwave cooking.

Magnetron

For the best cooking results

• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time

recommended. Check to see how the food is

cooking.

• 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.

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

paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or

plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of

the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking

• Always remove the cooking rack from the oven

when the rack is not in use.

Oven cavity

Glass tray

Metal ﬂoor

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.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

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:

• 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.

• Plugging the microwave oven into a diﬀerent outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver are on

diﬀerent branch circuits.

TESTING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

To test the oven, put approximately 1 cup of cold

water in a glass container in the oven. Close the

door.

Cook at 100% power for 1 minute. When the time

is up, the water should be heated.

ꢅ

OVERVIEW

TESTING YOUR DINNERWARE OR COOKWARE

Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To

test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven with

a cup of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook

power for one minute.

If the dish gets hot, do not use it. Some dishes

(melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb

microwave energy, becoming too hot to handle

and slowing cooking time. 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).

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Never lean on the door or allow a child to

swing on it when the door is open.

cause them to burst, and possibly damage the

oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating.

In rare cases, poached eggs have been known

to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a

standing time of one minute before cutting into

them.

• 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.). This can harm

the oven.

• Microwaves may not reach the center of a

roast. The heat spreads to the center, from the

outside, 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.

• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable

utensils are 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

potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will ﬁnish

cooking while standing.

• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat

containers, but the heat from the food can make

the container hot.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not operate the microwave oven unless the

glass turntable is securely in place and can

move freely. The turntable can move in either

direction. Make sure the turntable is correct-

side up in the oven. Handle your turntable with

care when removing it from the oven to avoid

possibly breaking it. If your turntable cracks or

breaks, contact your dealer for a replacement.

• When you use a browning dish, the browning

dish bottom must be at least 3 ⁄16 inch 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

HOW TO USE

AUTO DEFROST

OPERATING TIPS

Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.

The auto defrost feature provides you with the

best defrosting method for frozen foods. The Auto

Defrost Table will show you which defrost sequence

is recommended for the food you are defrosting.

For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes

a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to

check, turn over, separate, or rearrange to get best

defrost results. Three diﬀerent defrost settings are

provided.

• For best results, remove ﬁsh, shellﬁsh, meat, and

poultry from its original closed paper or plastic

package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will

hold steam and juice close to the foods, which

can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.

• For best results, shape your ground meat into

the form of a doughnut before freezing. When

defrosting, scrape oﬀ thawed meat when the

beep sounds and continue defrosting.

• Place foods in a shallow container or on a

microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

• For more defrost help, please read “Defrosting

Tips” following the Auto Defrost Table.

WEIGHT CONVERSION TABLE

You are probably used to food weights as being in

pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for

example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in

order to enter food weight in Auto 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 table to convert the weight to

decimals.

DEFROSTING TIPS

•

When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be

•

The length of defrosting time varies according to

how solidly the food is frozen.

entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths

of pounds (the weight of the food minus the

container).

The shape of the package aﬀects how quickly

food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost

more quickly than a deep block.

•

Before starting, make sure you have removed

any of the metal twist-ties which often come with

frozen food bags, and replace them with strings

or elastic bands.

•

As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

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, let food stand after defrosting.

(For more information on standing time, see the

“Microwave Cooking Tips” section.)

•

Open containers such as cartons before they are

placed in the oven.

Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or

packaging.

If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place

food in a suitable container.

•

Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as

sausage.

Turn over food during defrosting or standing

time. Break apart and remove food as required.

Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even

defrosting.

Always underestimate defrosting time. If

defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to

the microwave oven for more defrosting.

HOW TO USE

SENSOR OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

POPCORN SENSOR

Popcorn lets you pop popcorn without needing to

program times and power.

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your

favorite foods without selecting cooking times

and power levels. The display will indicate

Sensing during the initial sensing period.

The oven automatically determines required

cooking time for each food item. When the

internal sensor detects a certain amount of

humidity coming from the food, it will tell the

oven how much longer to heat. The display

will show the remaining heating time. For best

results for cooking by Sensor, follow these

recommendations.

Example : To pop popcorn.

Touch:

Display Shows:

popcorn

When the cook time is over, you will hear four

beeps and COOK END will display.

1. Food cooked with the sensor system should

be at normal storage temperature.

2. Glass Tray (TURNTABLE) and outside of

container should be dry to assure best

cooking results.

COOK SENSOR

Using COOK SENSOR lets you heat common

microwave-prepared foods without needing

to program times and Cook Powers. COOK

SENSOR has preset Cook Power for 6 food

categories.

3. Foods should always be covered with

microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper,

or a lid.

Example: To cook rice.

4. Do not open the door or touch the STOP key

during the sensing time. When sensing time

is over, the oven beeps and the remaining

When the cook time is over, you will hear four

beeps and COOK END will display.

COOK SENSOR GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help

assure good Sensor cooking results.

1. Always use microwavable containers and

cover them with lids or plastic wrap.

2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They

can prevent steam from escaping and cause

food to overcook.

3. Match the amount to the size of the container.

Fill containers at least half full for best

results.

REHEAT SENSOR

Using REHEAT SENSOR lets you reheat common

microwave-prepared foods without selecting

cooking times and power levels.

Example: To reheat 2 slices of pizza.

4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container

and the inside of the microwave oven are

dry before placing food in the oven. Beads

of moisture turning into steam can mislead

the sensor.

HOW TO USE

HEATING / REHEATING GUIDE

To heat or reheat successfully in a microwave oven, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the

amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for

best results. Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken

out of the can and placed in a microwave-safe container. The food will heat more evenly if covered with a

microwave-safe lid or vented plastic wrap. Remove cover carefully after cooking to prevent steam burns. Use

the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.

Cooking Tips

Amount of food

Releasing pressure in foods

•

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 necessary, add more time in small increments.

•

Several foods (for example, baked potatoes,

sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly

covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can

build up under the membrane during cooking,

causing the food to burst. To relieve the pressure

and to prevent bursting, pierce these foods

before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or

toothpick.

Starting temperature of food

• The lower the temperature of the food being

•

Using standing time

put into the microwave oven, the longer it takes

to cook. Food at room temperature will be

reheated more quickly than food at refrigerator

temperature.

•

Always allow food to stand either inside or

outside the oven after the cooking or defrost

period ends. Standing time after defrosting

and cooking allows the temperature to evenly

spread throughout the food, improving cooking

or defrosting results.

The length of the standing time depends on

how much food you are cooking and how dense

it is. 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. For such longer periods,

you may want to program a "0" power second

stage of the cooking cycle for standing time

inside the oven. See Two-Stage Cooking.

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 heat than lighter, more porous food like

sponge cakes.

•

Size and shape

•

Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than

larger pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook

more evenly than diﬀerent-shaped pieces.

With foods that have diﬀerent thicknesses,

the thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker

parts. Place the thinner parts of chicken wings

and legs in the center of the dish.

Arranging food

For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You

can do this in several ways:

•

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.

Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.

When you cook or reheat whole ﬁsh, score the

skin – this prevents cracking.

Stirring, turning foods

•

Stirring and turning foods spreads heat

quickly to the center of the dish and avoids

overcooking at the outer edges of the food.

•

Covering food

Cover food to reduce splattering, shorten cooking

times, and Keep food moist.

You can use any covering that lets microwaves

pass through. See How Your Microwave Hood

Combination Works on page 5 for materials that

microwaves will pass through. If you are using the

Sensor function, be sure to vent.

•

Do not let food or a container touch the top

or sides of the oven. This will prevent possible

arcing.

COOKING TIPS

Using aluminum foil

Removing the rack

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, 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. If you use

aluminum containers without package instructions,

follow these guidelines:

•

When popping commercially packaged

popcorn, remove the rack from the oven. Do

not place the bag of microwave popcorn on the

rack or under the rack.

•

In the case of popping microwave popcorn with

the rack, that can cause ﬁre or damage to your

microwave oven.

•

Place the container in a glass bowl and add

some water so that it covers the bottom of

the container, not more than 1⁄4-in. (.64-cm)

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 3⁄4 in. (1.9

cm).

Container must be at least half ﬁlled.

To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1⁄4

in. (.64 cm) between the aluminum container

and the walls of the oven and also between two

aluminum containers.

•

Always place the container on the turntable.

Shield with small pieces of aluminum foil the

parts of food that may cook quickly, such as

wing tips and leg ends of poultry.

Heating 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.

•

Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating

so that heat is spread evenly throughout the

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 keep

the oven at the high temperature needed for

sterilization.

COOKING TIPS

COOKING COMPARISON GUIDE

Cooking with your new oven oﬀers a wide variety

of food preparation options: microwave cooking,

convection cooking, and combination cooking.

Combination cooking combines microwave energy

with convection to cook with speed and accuracy,

while browning and crisping to perfection.

You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking,

or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply

preset the length of cooking time desired and your

oven turns oﬀ automatically.

The following guide shows at a glance the diﬀerence

between microwave, convection, and combination

cooking.

Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency

radio waves. The movement of the microwaves

through the food generates heat and cooks most

foods faster than regular methods, while retaining

their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking

heats food directly, not the cookware or the interior

of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is

particularly convenient because less time is spent in

food preparation.

Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air

around the food, creating even browning and sealed-in

ﬂavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food

surfaces.

COOKING TIPS

COOKWARE GUIDE

Microwave Cooking

Combination Cooking

Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for

use in your microwave oven.

•

Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are

recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal

trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven

wall or oven shelf, damaging the cookware, the

shelf or the oven.

However, to test cookware before using, follow these

steps:

1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup

and place it in the oven beside the cookware.

3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the

dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave

cooking.

•

Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe

to 450°F) may be used, but is not recommended

for foods that require crusting or all-around

browning, because plastic is a poor conductor of

heat.

Convection Cooking

•

Metal Pans are recommended for all types of

baked products, but especially where browning or

crusting is important.

Dark or dull ﬁnish metal pans are best for breads

and pies because they absorb heat and produce a

crisper crust.

Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies,

or muﬃns because these pans reﬂect heat and

help produce a light, tender crust.

Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes

are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to

the cleanability of glass.

Questions And Answers

QUESTIONS

ANSWERS

No. If you remove or move the glass tray, you will get

poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must ﬁt on

the glass or guide tray.

Can I operate my microwave oven without the glass

tray or move the glass tray over to hold a large

dish?

You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small, ﬂat

pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is

not taller than 3⁄4-in. [1.9-cm] deep and is ﬁlled with

food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal

to touch walls or door.

Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my mi-

crowave oven?

Yes. The guide tray moves from side to side, depend-

ing on the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle

begins.

Is it normal for the guide tray to move in either

direction?

As the food becomes hot, it will conduct the heat to the

dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to remove food after

cooking.

Why does the dish become hot when I microwave

food in it?

I thought that this should not happen.

“Standing time” means that after the timed ccoking

period ends, food should be allowed to stand either

inside or outside of the oven to completely ﬁnish cooking.

Outside oven standing time will allow the oven to be

available for other use. For inside oven standing time,

you can program a "0" power second stage of the cook-

ing cycle. See Two-Stage Cooking.

What does “standing time” mean?

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The

microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam

out of the vents.

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following

manufacturer’s guidelines. Do not use regular paper

bags. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop

popcorn in glass cookware.

Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?

How do I get the best results?
