MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

• You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
• You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

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:

• Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.
• Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found in this section.
• The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found in this section.
• Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions.
• 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.
• Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is  specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not
  designed for industrial or laboratory use.
• Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.
• Do not store any materials, other than the manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
• Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
• Do not deep fry in oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures.
• Do not use paper products when the appliance is operated in the “PAN BROWN” mode.
• Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
• As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
• The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.
• Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
  • To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
  • Do not overheat the liquid.
  • Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
  • Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
  • After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
  • Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
• Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not use this product near water – for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
• See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Oven Care” section.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
  • Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
  • Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven.
  • If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
  • Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

• Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since an open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
• Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:
  (1) Door (bent),
  (2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
  (3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
• The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

MICROWAVE OVEN USE

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves that reflect off the metal floor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat, which cooks the food.

• To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
• To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate the microwave oven when it is empty.
• Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in a microwave oven.
• Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in a microwave oven.
• Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it does not absorb microwaves.
• Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from the microwave oven.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
• Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst, requiring significant cleanup of microwave oven cavity. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.

Food Characteristics
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition, and density of the food affect cooking results.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.
Size and Shape
Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces, and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food.
Starting Temperature
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.
Composition and Density
Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature and will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake.

Cooking Guidelines
Covering
Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time, and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels, or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking.
Stirring and Turning
Stirring and turning redistribute heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to the center. If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.
Arranging
If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, arrange the thinner parts and smaller sized items toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.
Piercing
Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to allow steam to vent.
Shielding
Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones, and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips, and fishtails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section first.
Standing Time
Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food.

Cookware and Dinnerware

Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, then test before using.

To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:

1. Place cookware or dinnerware in microwave oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it.
2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute.

Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the water stays cool.

Aluminum Foil and Metal
Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven. Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the microwave oven.

OK for Use

Racks and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven (on some models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:

• To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling, or floor.
• Always use the turntable.
• To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow contact with another metal object during microwave cooking.

Do Not Use

Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, nonapproved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such as sandwich wrappers, staples, and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the microwave oven.

Microwave Cooking Power

Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name or number. For example, 70% = 7 = Medium-High. Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested cooking power of specific foods.

Turntable

• Turntable
• Support and rollers
• Hub

The turntable rotates in both directions to help cook food more evenly. Do not operate the microwave oven without having the turntable in place. See the “Assistance or Service” section to reorder any of the parts. The raised, curved lines in the center of the turntable bottom fit between the three spokes of the hub. The hub turns the turntable during microwave oven use. The rollers on the support should fit inside the turntable bottom ridge.
NOTE: The microwave oven cooling fan may continue to run for several minutes after the cooking cycle has been completed. The microwave cooking does not continue beyond the end of cooking cycle.
To Turn On/Off
For best microwave oven performance, it is recommended to always leave the turntable on. If necessary, the turntable can be turned off (except during an auto function).  This is helpful when cooking with a dish that is larger than the turntable.

Cooking Methods

WARNING  Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. The Cooking Methods keypad allows users to select one of the cooking methods below according to their cooking needs:

Defrost

The Defrost feature can be used, or the microwave oven can be manually set to defrost by using 20% cook power.

• Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before defrosting. Remove any metal twist-ties and replace them with strings or elastic bands.
• If food is foil-wrapped, remove foil and place it in a suitable container.
• Slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging. Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage.
• 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.
• The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen.
• Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
• Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the end of a cycle for more even defrosting.
• Foods left outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes or frozen ready-made food should not be defrosted using the Custom Defrost feature but should be defrosted manually.
• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, and fishtails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section first.

Steam Cook
Steam Cook is a sensor cooking function that uses microwaves to steam food. Use Steam for foods such as vegetables, fish and potatoes.

• Times and cooking powers have been preprogrammed for steaming a number of food types.
• Use a microwave-safe steamer.
• Use 1/2 cup (125 mL) water or as directed in the steamer instructions.

Popcorn
NOTE: During Popcorn function, as with all microwave cooking functions, the microwave oven should be attended to at all times. Listen for popping to slow to one pop every 1 or 2 seconds, then stop the cycle.

• To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use regular paper bags or glass utensils.
• Pop only one package of popcorn at a time.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using a microwave popcorn popper.
• For best cooking results, do not try to pop unpopped kernels.
• Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal results.
• Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content.
• The microwave oven uses the sensor to determine sizes that can be popped: 1.75–3.5 oz (50–99 g) bags.

Assisted Cooking
Scroll through the Assisted Cooking menu until the desired food selection is reached. Follow the prompts on the screen to customize the settings for Assisted Cooking. The microwave oven sensor adjusts the cooking times and power levels for various foods and quantities. NOTE: The microwave oven may prompt users to input weight to help optimize the settings.
