19 Operation How to Use the Shelf When Microwaving 1. The shelf must be positioned on Shelf Supports securely to prevent damage to the oven from arcing. 2.DO NOTuse a microwave browning dish on the shelf. The shelf and dish could overheat. 3.DO NOTuse the oven with the shelf on the microwave floor. This could damage the microwave. 4. Use pot holders when handling the shelf—it may be hot. Caution: Do not heat liquids on shelf, use the turntable for heating liq- uids. Also be careful when removing hot items from the shelf or turntable. Placement of the Roller Ring Before using the microwave oven, be sure the Roller Ring is properly installed. Incorrect installation can result in improper cooking, damage to the oven or spillage of food. The Roller Ring must be located on the surface between the raised rib and raised floor. For best cooking results 1-Level cooking Food microwaves best when placed onto the turntable, with turntable on (rotating). When a large dish or more than one dish is used for cooking, the turntable can be turned off. For best results, rotate large dish and interchange mul- tiple dishes, halfway through cooking cycle. For best cooking results, remove the shelf unless you are reheating on more than one level. 2-Level cooking 1. Multiply reheat time by 1 1/2. 2. Interchange dishes halfway through cooking. DO NOT use the shelf or operate Turntable Off when cooking foods on Popcorn / Inverter Turbo Defrost / Keep Warm / Sensor Reheat / Sensor Cook.

22 Food CharacteristicsCooking Techniques Bone and Fat Both bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may cause irregular cooking. Meat next to the tips of bones may overcook while meat positioned under a large bone, such as a ham bone, may be undercooked. Large amounts of fat absorb microwave ener- gy and the meat next to these areas may overcook. Density Porous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls take less time to cook than heavy, dense foods such as potatoes and roasts. When reheating donuts or other foods with different centers be very careful. Certain foods have centers made with sugar, water, or fat and these centers attract microwaves (For example, jelly donuts). When a jelly donut is heated, the jelly can become extremely hot while the exterior remains warm to the touch. This could result in a burn if the food is not allowed to cool properly in the center. Quantity Two potatoes take longer to cook than one potato. As the quantity of the food decreases so does the cook- ing time. Overcooking will cause the moisture content in the food to decrease and a fire could result. Never leave microwave unattended while in use. Shape Uniform sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a drumstick will cook more quickly than the meaty end. To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin parts toward the center of the dish and thick pieces toward the edge. Size Thin pieces cook more quickly than thick pieces. Starting Temperature Foods that are at room temperature take less time to cook than if they are chilled, refrigerated, or frozen. Piercing Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced scored or have a strip of skin peeled before cooking to allow steam to escape. Pierce clams, oysters, chicken liv- ers, whole potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole apples or new potatoes should have a 1-inch strip of skin peeled before cooking. Score sausages and frankfurters. Do not Cook/Reheat whole eggs with or with- out the shell. Steam build up in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard-boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe. Browning Foods will not have the same brown appearance as conventionally cooked foods or those foods which are cooked utilizing a browning feature. Meats and poultry may be coated with browning sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce or shake-on browning sauce. To use, combine browning sauce with melted butter or margarine and brush on before cooking. For quick breads or muffins, brown sugar can be used in the recipe in place of granulated sugar, or the surface can be sprinkled with dark spices before baking. Spacing Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cup- cakes and appetizers, will cook more evenly if placed in the oven equal distances apart. When possible, arrange foods in a circular pat- tern. F00036Z22AP 2006.3.1 12:15 Page 24
23 Cooking Techniques(continued) Covering As with conventional cooking, moisture evaporates during microwave cooking. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When using plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by folding back part of the plastic wrap from the edge of the dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or remove plastic wrap as recipe directs for stand time. When removing plastic wrap covers, as well as any glass lids, be careful to remove them away from you to avoid steam burns. Various degrees of mois- ture retention are also obtained by using wax paper or paper towels. Shielding Thin areas of meat and poultry cook more quickly than meaty portions. To prevent overcooking, these thin areas can be shielded with strips of aluminum foil. Wooden toothpicks may be used to hold the foil in place. CAUTION is to be exercised when using foil. Arcing can occur if foil is too close to oven wall or door and damage to your oven will result. Cooking time Arange of cooking time is given in each recipe. The time range compensates for the uncontrollable differences in food shapes, starting temperature, and regional preferences. Always cook food for the minimum cooking time given in a recipe and check for doneness. If the food is undercooked, continue cooking. It is easier to add time to an undercooked product. Once the food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Stirring Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking. Always bring the cooked outside edges toward the center and the less cooked center portions toward the outside of the dish. Rearranging Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces, shrimp, ham- burger patties, or pork chops. Rearrange pieces from the edge to the center and pieces from the center to the edge of the dish. Turning It is not possible to stir some foods to distribute the heat even- ly. At times, microwave energy will concentrate in one area of the food. To help insure even cooking, these food need to be turned. Turn over large foods, such as roasts or turkeys, halfway through cooking. Stand Time Most foods will continue to cook by conduction after the microwave oven has turned off. In meat cookery, the internal temperature will rise 5°F to 15°F (3°C to 8°C), if allowed to stand, tented with foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Casseroles and vegetables need a shorter amount of standing time, but this standing time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking to the center without overcooking on the edges. Test for Doneness The same tests for doneness used in conventional cooking may be used for microwave cooking. Meat is done when fork- tender or splits at fibers. Chicken is done when juices are clear yellow and drumstick moves freely. Fish is done when it flakes and is opaque. Cake is done when a toothpick or cake tester is inserted and comes out clean. ABOUT FOOD SAFETY AND COOKING TEMPERATURE Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures. TEMP FOOD 160˚F ...for fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food. 165˚F ...for leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carryout “fresh” food. 170˚F ...white meat of poultry. 180˚F ...dark meat of poultry. To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the ther- mometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

24 Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven BEFORE CLEANING: Unplug oven at wall outlet. AFTER CLEANING: Be sure to place the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in the proper position and press Stop/Reset Pad to clear the Display. Inside of the oven: Wipe with a damp cloth after using. Mild detergent may be used if need- ed. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.Glass Tray: Remove and wash in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.Outside oven surfaces: Clean with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into ventilation openings. Oven Door: Wipe with a soft dry cloth when steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door. During cooking, especially under high humidity conditions, steam is given off from the food. (Some steam will condense on cooler surfaces, such as the oven door. This is normal.) Inside surface is covered with a heat and vapor barrier film. Do not remove. Roller Ring and oven cavity floor: Clean the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent water or window cleaner, and dry. Roller Ring may be washed in mild soapy water or dishwasher. These areas should be kept clean to avoid excessive noise. Shelf Clean with a soft damp cloth to avoid scratches. Control Panel: * Covered with a removable protective film to prevent scratches during shipping. Small bubbles may appear under this film. (Hint - To remove film, apply masking or clear tape to an exposed corner and pull gently.) * If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean it with a soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY. FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDEN- SATION MAY CAUSE RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL SURFACES-INCLUDING VENT OPENINGS, OVEN SEAMS, AND UNDER GLASS TRAY.
