GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONSINSTALLATIONThis appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the riskof electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped witha cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet thatis properly installed and grounded.WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualifiedelectrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubtexists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a three bladegrounding plug, and a three slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked ratingof the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.1. Steady, flat location: When positioning the microwave oven, it should be set on a steady, flat surface.2. Ventilation: Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat andeventually cause oven failure. For proper ventilation, keep three inches of space between the oven’s top,sides, rear and the area where the unit is to be installed.3. Radio and TV reception: Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is locatedclose to a TV, radio, antenna, or antenna wire. Position the oven as far from them as possible.4. Temperature and moisture: Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or splashing liquids when choosinga place to locate it, otherwise, the unit’s operation may be adversely affected, causing it to break down.5. Power supply:• Check your local power source. This microwave oven requires a 120V, 60Hz ,15Amp power supply.• Use a receptacle that will accept the ground prong.(a) A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in ortripping over a longer cord.(b) Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.(c) If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extensioncord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord mustbe a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drapeover the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.6. Examine the oven for any damage such as: Dents, a misaligned door, broken door or a dent in thecavity. If any of the above are visible, DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT.

HOW TO USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELYRoller Guide1The ROLLER GUIDE and oven floor should becleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise.2The ROLLER GUIDE MUST ALWAYS be usedfor cooking together with the Glass Tray.Glass Tray1Do NOT operate the oven without the GlassTray in place.2Do NOT use any other Glass Tray with thisoven.3If the Glass Tray is hot, ALLOW IT TO COOLbefore cleaning it or placing it in water.4Do NOT cook directly on the Glass Tray.Glass Tray Roller GuideAlthough your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:a) It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.b) Do not place any object between the oven face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on sealingsurfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasivepowders or pads.c) When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an open door orany load which could cause the oven to fall forward and cause injury and damage to the door. Do notoperate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a qualified person. It is particularly importantthat the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the following:(1) Door (bent), (2) Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened), (3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.6CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN1Disconnect the AC plug from the outlet beforecleaning.2Keep the inside of the oven clean. When foodspatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls,wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may beused if the oven gets very dirty. The use ofharsh detergent or abrasives is notrecommended.If steam accumulates on both sides of the ovendoor, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occurwhen the microwave oven is operated underhigh humidity conditions and this is not anindication of a malfunction in the unit.It is occasionally necessary to remove the glasstray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm, sudsywater or in a dishwasher.The roller guide and oven cavity floor should becleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise.Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven withmild detergent water or window cleaner and dry.The roller guide may be washed in mild, sudsywater or in the dishwasher.3The outside oven surface should be cleanedIf  the Control Panel becomes dirty or wet, cleanwith a soft, dry cloth.with a soft cloth.

THE PRINCIPLES OF MICROWAVE COOKINGMicrowaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio including AM, FM andCB. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube. From the magnetron tube,microwave energy is transmitted to the oven where it is reflected, transmitted and absorbed by the food.Reflection: Microwaves are reflected by metal just as a ball is bounced off of a wall. For this reason, metal utensilsare not suitable for use in the microwave. A combination of stationary interior walls and a rotating metal turntable orstirrer fan helps assure that the microwaves are well distributed within the oven cavity to produce even cooking.Transmission: Microwaves pass through some materials such as paper, glass and plastic much like sunlight shiningthrough a window. Because these substances do not absorb or reflect the microwave energy, they are ideal materialsfor microwave oven cooking containers.Absorption: During cooking, microwaves will be absorbed by food. They penetrate to a depth of about 3/4 to 1 1/2inches. Microwave energy activates the molecules in the food (especially water, fat and sugar), and heat is produced.If you vigorously rub your hands together, you will feel heat produced by friction. The internal cooking of larger foodsis done by conduction as the heat which is produced by friction is conducted to the middle of the food. Foods alsocontinue to cook by conduction during standing time.FOOD CHARACTERISTICSQuantity: The amount of food placed in a microwave oven has a direct effect on the cooking time. Small amountsof food or liquid require less cooking time than larger amounts of the same substance. As quantity increases,concentration decreases.Size: Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than two inches (5 cm), somicrowaves can penetrate to the middle from all sides. Pieces which are similar in size and shape cook more evenly.Shape: Many foods are uneven, like a chicken, ribs or broccoli. The thin parts will cook faster than the thick parts,while uniformly thick foods cook evenly. To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin pieces toward the center ofthe dish and thicker pieces toward the edge of the dish.Starting Temperature: Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to cook than foods at room temperature.Bone and Fat: Because bones conduct heat, the side of the meat the bone is on will cook first, while boneless cutscook slower but more evenly. Fat attracts microwaves. The middle of these foods is cooked by heat conduction.Moisture Content: Microwaves are attracted by moisture. Naturally moist foods absorb microwaves better than dryones. Add a minimum of liquid to moist foods, as excess water slows cooking.Density: The density of food determines how easily the microwaves can penetrate and how quickly it will cook.Porous foods, like chopped beef or mashed potatoes, microwave faster than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes.Piercing: Steam builds up pressure in foods which are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, eggyolks and chicken livers to prevent bursting.MICROWAVE TECHNIQUESStirring: Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking to equalize heat and speed microwaving.Foods will not burn or stick, so there’s no need to stir constantly as you do in conventional cooking.Arrangement: Arrange foods with thin or delicate ends, like drumsticks or asparagus spears, with the thick or tougherportions to the outside of the dish. The parts which need more cooking will receive more energy, so food will microwaveevenly.Spacing: Individual foods, such as baked potatoes and cupcakes will cook more evenly if placed in the oven an equaldistance apart. When possible, arrange foods in a circular pattern. Similarly, when placing foods in a baking dish, arrangearound the outside of the dish, not lined up next to each other. Food should not be stacked on top of each other.Rearrangement: Rearrange overlapping areas, like tails of long fish fillets, from top to bottom, and closely packed pieces,like meatballs, from the outside to the center of the dish.Standing Time: Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Microwave energy creates heat in the outerlayers of the food. As a result of normal conduction, the food continues to cook for a few minutes after removal from theoven. Letting roasts, large whole vegetables, casseroles and cakes stand to finish cooking allows the middles to cookcompletely without overcooking, drying or toughening the outsides.Covering: Covering speeds cooking time, retains moisture, tenderizes, insures even cooking and prevents spattering.Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. Vent plastic by turning back one edge at the side of dish to forma narrow slot where excess steam can escape. Various degrees of moisture retention are also obtained by using waxpaper or microwave-safe paper towels.Browning: Microwave energy cooks some foods so quickly that the fats and sugars within the food do not have time tocaramelize and give a "browned" appearance. Browning agents do not affect the quality of microwaved foods, but canadd color and flavor. For meats and poultry, use bouquet sauce diluted with water or melted butter, soy, Worcestershire,barbecue or steak sauce, a sprinkling of paprika or dry gravy mix; jelly glaze or crumb coating. Frosting and toppingfinish cakes and breads. Top casseroles at the end of microwaving with grated cheese or crumbs.COOKING GUIDE17
COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED)HOT SNACKS AND APPETIZERSHot appetizers can be prepared very quickly in the microwave oven.Many appetizers may be cooked on the serving platter, provided the platter does not have metal trim. A timesaving tip – prepare these foods ahead of time, refrigerate or freeze, and refresh in the oven at serving time.A plate of appetizers will take only seconds to refresh.Cheese melts very rapidly and will toughen if overcooked, so watch foods combined with cheese closely sothat overcooking will not occur. As soon as cheese starts to bubble, cooking is completed.Appetizers that have a crisp pastry exterior are best prepared in a conventional oven.To prepare appetizers wrapped in bacon, it will be necessary to precook the bacon and then wrap around thefoods. Oysters wrapped in bacon are easier to prepare in the broiler of your conventional oven.Seafood mixtures can be prepared in serving shells as microwave energy will pass through the seafood shellswithout heating. Aluminum foil should not be used for shells.If spreads are placed on crackers, care should be taken not to overcook as moisture from the food will causecrackers to become soggy. Crackers used for spreads should be very dry and crisp. This helps avoidsogginess. Heat only until spread is at serving temperature.The time required to heat all appetizers will depend on the amount of food, and the number and the type ofdish selected. Remember the food will become very hot even if the dish is cool. Cheese mixtures retain heatlonger when heated with microwave energy.Some Foods Do Not Microwave WellEggs in Shells and hard boiled eggs can burst.Pancakes do not crust, but they reheat well. Fully-prepared, frozen pancakes are available formicrowaving.Deep Fat Frying can cause burns.Bottles with narrow necks may shatter if heated.Pop Popcorn only in special microwave poppers. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer, or heatlonger than recommended. Never pop popcorn in paper bags or glass utensils or directly on the glass tray.SEAFOODGuide for Cooking SeafoodMicrowaving is one of the easiest and most efficient ways of preparing fish and seafood, which stay delicateand tender with quick, moist cooking.

MEATSGuide for Cooking MeatsRoasts, chops, hamburgers and small cuts of tender meat cook beautifully in the microwave oven. Most roastscan be cooked rare, medium rare or even well done in less than one hour. Less tender cuts of meat such aspot roast can be simmered fork-tender in a sauce or gravy. Tough cuts that require slow cooking will do betterin a conventional oven. A large piece of meat, especially if the shape is uneven, should be turned overoccasionally for uniform roasting.Meat Power Cooking Time Standing Special NotesLevel (per lb) TimeBeef RoastRare 80 6 - 8 min. 5 - 7 min.Medium 80 8 - 10 min. 10 - 15 min.

Chicken stays juicy and tender in the microwave oven. However, juiciness prevents browning becausechicken crisps and browns only when the skin dries out enough to change color. Standing time is important,because it allows the interior to finish cooking without toughening the delicate breast meat.Power Cooking Time Standing Special NotesLevel (per lb.)

COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED)EGGS & CHEESEGuide for Cooking Eggs & Cheese•CHEESECheese melts quickly and smoothly. When serving cheese as an appetizer, flavor is at peak when servedat room temperature. Use a low power level for melting. Cheese melts best when shredded and heatedwith milk or other liquids. Stir cheese mixtures several times for even heating.•EGGSEggs cook differently by microwave. The high fat content of egg yolks absorbs energy, so yolks cookfaster than whites. It's easy to poach eggs in a microwave oven, but if you want soft yolks, remove eggsfrom the oven before whites are completely cooked. A brief standing time allows whites to set withoutovercooking yolks. Check eggs for completion of cooking early, they toughen when overcooked.When eggs and yolks are mixed together for omelets, scrambled eggs or custards, they cook more evenlyand need less stirring than during conventional cooking methods.Do not try to cook eggs in the shell. Steam can build up inside the shells, causing them to burst.Scrambled EggsEggs Butter Milk or Cook on ProcedureWater Power 1002 1 Tbsp. 2 Tbsp. 1 - 2 min.4 1 Tbsp. 2 Tbsp. 2 - 3 min.6 2 Tbsp. 4 Tbsp. 3 - 4 min.Poached EggsEggs Water Cook Water Cook Eggs Standing Procedureon Power 100 on Power 80 Time1 1 1/2 cups 4 - 6 min. 1 min. 2 min.2 1 1/2 cups 4 - 6 min. 1 1/2 - 2 min. 2 min.4 2 cups 6 - 7 min. 2 1/2 - 3 min. 2 min.SOUPSGuide for Cooking SoupsSatisfy appetites with savory soups prepared in your microwave oven.

VEGETABLESGuide for Cooking Fresh VegetablesNutrition research indicates that many microwaved vegetables and fruits lose less water soluble vitamin C thanwhen cooked conventionally. This is due to shorter cooking time and to the fact that less cooking water isneeded when microwaving fruits and vegetables. Best of all, vegetables keep their fresh color, texture andflavor. Vegetables should be microwaved covered with vented plastic wrap or a casserole lid. Vegetablescooked in their skins, such as potatoes, are already so tightly covered that they should be pricked with a forkbefore cooking in order to release excess steam. To assure even cooking, vegetables should be cut in uniformpieces and stirred during the cooking time. Always add salt to water before adding vegetables. Reduce timea minute or two for crisp-tender texture. Increase time for very soft texture. Remember to allow standing timeof two to five minutes after cooking because, as most foods do, vegetables will continue to cook after theyare removed from the microwave oven.COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED)CASSEROLESCasseroles may require occasional stirring to distribute heat. They cook more evenly when made withingredients of similar size and shape. Because of their shorter cooking time, casseroles cooked in themicrowave oven generally need less liquid. Casseroles with cream and cheese sauces, or meats which needslower cooking to tenderize, cook best on power level 40.When cooking a favorite casserole, make two and freeze the second for future use. Line a casserole or bakingdish with plastic wrap. Transfer the cooked food to the lined container and freeze. As soon as the food isfrozen in the shape of the dish, remove it and wrap with freezer paper. Later it can be unwrapped and returnedto the container for defrosting and heating.Dry Casserole MixturesMany prepared box type casseroles are available on the grocery shelves. Many have freeze dried foods orevaporated foods included. Cooking periods are so short there may not be time for the foods to absorb themoisture sufficiently and reconstitute the foods. To prepare this type, boil the amount of water recommendedon the package. Add the noodles (when included), cover and cook for approximately 10 minutes. Allow noodlesto stand covered for an additional 10 minutes, rinse with warm water and drain. Then follow package directionsfor preparing the mix. Reheat four to six minutes before serving.21Food Water Cook on Standing Special NotesAmount Power 100 TimeAsparagusSpears (1 lb.) 1/4 cup 5 - 6 min. 2 min. Medium Casserole.

SAUCESGuide for Cooking SaucesSauces boil over rapidly, especially those that contain milk. As soon as the door is opened, cooking stops. Ifingredients are not taken directly from the refrigerator, cooking time will be less than given in the recipe. Stirsauce quickly, about every 30 seconds to eliminate lumps. Be sure to use a container twice the size of theamount of liquid to prevent boiling over.A wooden spoon may be left in the dish while sauce is cooking for easy stirring. If sauce is stirred slowly,cooking time may require about 15 seconds longer. If desired, a one-quart glass measure may be used toprepare some sauces.White SauceAmount Butter Flour Milk Cook Cook Special NotesButter Sauce1 cup, thin 1 Tbsp 1 Tbsp 1 cup 30 sec. 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 min.med. 2 Tbsp 2 Tbsp 1 cup 1 min. 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 min.thick 3 Tbsp 3 Tbsp 1 cup 1 min. 3 - 4 min.Brown GravyAmount Fat from Flour Liquid or Cook on Special NotesDrippings Drippings Power 1001 cup, thin 1 Tbsp 1 Tbsp 1 cup 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 min.med. 1 Tbsp 1 Tbsp 1 cup 3 - 4 min.thick 1 Tbsp 1 Tbsp 1 cup 3 - 4 min.22COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED)Cook on Full power as directedor until thickened, stirring once.Let stand, covered, before serving.Cook on Full power as directedor until thickened, stirring once.Let stand, covered, before serving.SANDWICHES, INCLUDING HAMBURGERS AND HOT DOGSGuide for Heating SandwichesSandwiches heat very quickly because, being porous, they have a low density. Since the filling is usually moredense than the bread or rolls, the filling determines the heating time. Surprisingly, the filling will always behotter than the bread feels. Care must be taken not to overcook as the bread will become tough. Use severalthin slices of meat. Thin slices heat more quickly and are better than one thick slice. The slow heating thick sliceoften causes the bread to overcook before the meat is hot. Sandwiches may be placed on a paper plate, napkinor paper towel to be warmed. The sandwich should be covered with a microwave-safe paper towel. Removewrapping immediately after warming. Already-baked frozen breads and rolls may be used for sandwiches. Thefilling, however, should be thawed first. Toasted bread is fine for sandwiches and provides a firm base. The toastis warmed only; no further browning occurs.Food Amount Cook Special Noteson Power 100Sandwich 1 1 min.(6 oz.) 2 1 1/2 - 2 min. Place on microwaveable plate.4 3 - 4 min.Hamburger 1 1 min.

PASTA & GRAINSGuide for Cooking Pasta and GrainsRaw long grain rice takes time to rehydrate. Microwaving time is a little shorter than conventional, but thegreatest advantage is the ease with which you can prepare fluffy rice without sticking or burning. Cooked riceand pasta reheat easily in the microwave oven without loss of flavor or texture. No extra water is needed toprevent sticking or drying, so there's no danger of overcooking rice and pasta or thinning sauces.Food Hot Salt Oil or Power Cooking StandingWater Butter Level Time TimePasta(8oz)Egg Noodles 4 cups 1 tsp. 1 Tbsp. 100 6 1/2 - 7 1/2 min. 2 - 5 min.Macaroni 4 cups 1 tsp. 1 Tbsp. 100 8 - 10 min. 2 - 5 min.Spaghetti 4 cups 1 tsp. 1 Tbsp. 100 8 - 10 min. 2 - 5 min.Lasagna Noodles 4 cups 1 tsp. 1 Tbsp. 100 12 - 14 min. 2 - 5 min.Rice, Long Grain100 5 - 6 min.White Rice (1 cup) 2 cups 1 tsp. 1 tsp. then 5 - 7 min.80 9 1/2 - 12 min.100 5 - 6 min.Brown Rice (1 cup) 2 cups 1/2 tsp. 1 tsp. then 5 - 7 min.80 22 - 27 min.COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED)CEREALSMicrowaveable hot cereals can be cooked directly in the cereal bowl and make cleaning up easy.CONVENIENCE FOODSFrozen FoodsA large variety of frozen foods, special dishes and dinners are available and the selections continue toincrease. The market is changing rapidly, therefore it is impossible to list the foods and types available andrecommend cooking procedures. In this book we can only give general directions to assist you.T.V. DinnersTo prepare a T.V. dinner, follow the maker’s instructions for use with microwave ovens. To cook a T.V. dinnerwill require approximately five to seven minutes for the food to thaw and heat to serving temperature(depending on the types of food). Allow plastic wrap to remain over the dish for two minutes to allow heat toequalize. Dinners that contain mashed potatoes have presented a bit of a problem due to the large compactmass of this particular food. You may want to remove about half the mashed potatoes after defrosting isstarted, then spread the remaining potatoes over the individual section of the tray. Heat the removed mashedpotatoes in an individual dish. For foods that should be crisp when cooking is completed, remove the plasticwrap and use the broiler of a conventional oven to crisp the food.Individual Frozen FoodsThese may be commercially prepared or frozen at home. Place the container of frozen food in the oven andheat only until the food starts to defrost and can be removed easily. Empty contents into a casserole or servingdish and continue to defrost and heat. Do not heat foods in deep foil containers. To crisp and brown specialtoppings, use the broiler of a conventional oven. If allowed to heat to serving temperature in a plastic container,the container will warp or melt from the high heat of food.Frozen Foods in Cooking Pouches or Boilable BagsTo prepare these foods, slit the plastic bag. An X-type cut will help remove the food at the end of cooking time.Place the cut side down on a serving dish (with no metal trim). Heat foods other than vegetables for aboutthree minutes. Frozen vegetables require about eight to nine and a half minutes of cooking time. Allow thepouch bag to remain over the food for about two minutes to allow time for the heat to equalize. Foods preparedin cheese or white sauce should be removed from the pouch and placed in a glass casserole dish and stirredto prevent overcooking of the sauce around the edges of the dish.23
Complete Meals from Table LeftoversComplete meals from leftovers can be prepared in advance. Foods can be frozen and ready for quick heatingin the oven at any time. Choose foods suitable for freezing and put serving portions on paper, glass or china(no metal trim) plates. Wrap with recommended freezer paper and freeze quickly. When apportioning theservings of food on the plate, use approximately the same amount of each kind of food for more even heating.Mashed potatoes will heat quicker if spread slightly and hollowed, with a pat of butter in the center. To preventsmall pieces of vegetables, corn, peas, etc., from dehydrating during heating, mound well near the center ofthe plate.COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED)DESSERTSThere's always time to make dessert with a microwave oven. Fruit desserts have a remarkably fresh flavorand texture. Microwaved cakes are higher and more tender than conventionally baked; since cakes are usuallyfrosted, browning is unimportant. Microwaved pie crusts are exceptionally tender and flaky, while delicatecustards and puddings are easy to prepare.Guide for Cooking CakesFood Power Cooking Time Standing Special NotesLevel TimeCake, round 100 3 1/2 - 5 min. 2 - 5 min.

Greasing or lining of the microwaveable baking dish is optional.• If insufficient browning disturbs you, frost, glaze or add food coloring to white or yellow batters.• A microwaveable cookie sheet can be made by covering cardboard with waxed paper.• Round glass baking dishes, and fluted or smooth microwaveable ring molds work best for cakes. You canmake a microwaveable ring mold of your own by placing a medium-size glass in the center of a round glassbaking dish.• Because your cakes will rise higher in microwave cooking, never fill microwaveable cake pans more thanhalf full.• Reduce baking powder and soda by approximately one-fourth when converting a conventional recipe.• Fill paper-lined muffin cups to only half full which allows for muffins to rise more than normal.• You can prepare your own "brown 'n serve" breads and rolls by baking them ahead of time in the microwaveoven. Then, place them in a conventional oven to brown prior to serving.• Breads and rolls should be reheated to the point where they are warm to the touch. Overheating orovercooking makes bread tough and rubbery.• When making yeast bread in a microwave oven, choose a recipe with cornmeal, whole wheat flour, or ryeflour to achieve a richer color.24
