17OPERATIONAUTOMATIC DEFROST BY WEIGHTAutomatic Defrost allows you to easily defrost food. Power levels and times are automatically determined when the food weight is entered.TOTAL DEFROST: Use for thorough defrosting of larger, dense frozen foods, when it is important to have the center section defrosted as well as the outside. Ideal for items such as roasts, whole chicken and steak. QUICK DEFROST: Use to assist separation of frozen pieces of chicken or fish that need preparation prior to cooking. Excellent for defrosting ground meat for use in spaghetti sauce or taco meat. Example: To thoroughly defrost a 2.5 lb whole chicken:Defrosting Techniques:•Remove freezer paper, plastic wrap or foil wrap. Place food in a microwave-safe dish.•To prevent thin parts and edges from becoming too warm and cooking before center of food is defrosted, shield with small pieces of aluminum foil.•Because some foods will still be icy in the center, it is necessary to have standing time after defrosting the food in the oven. Food should be taken out of the oven to complete defrosting. A longer standing time might be required for denser foods such as roasts.•The Total Defrost includes preset standing time.•Timed Defrosting: Use power level P30 (Medium Low).

21COOKING GUIDECOOKING GUIDECOOKING PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUESThe advantages of microwave cooking are speed and efficiency. For warming, heating, and defrosting, nothing compares. Here are a few tips that will make microwaving easier and more enjoyable.Microwave Cooking PrinciplesBecause microwave cooking requires only one-quarter to one-third the time of conventional cooking, the same cooking principles become even more important.QuantityIn microwave cooking, the cooking time is dependent on the amount of food in the oven. If you double the recipe, plan on doubling the cooking time.DensityDense foods, such as potatoes, need more cooking time as they take longer for microwave energy to penetrate and the heat to conduct through them.Shape and SizeCut food into uniform shapes and sizes for even cooking in the microwave. When cooking irregular shapes (such as chicken pieces), place the thicker parts to the outer edge of the dish.Moisture, Sugar and FatFood high in moisture, sugar or fat cook faster. Add a minimum of liquid to moisten foods. Excessive amounts of water slow cooking.Starting TemperatureFrozen or refrigerated foods take longer to microwave than food at room temperature.Delicate IngredientsDelicate foods such as eggs, cheese, mayonnaise, etc., cook very quickly, and should be watched carefully.Microwave Cooking TechniquesArranging: Arrange food in a circular pattern, with denser, thicker items at the edge of the dish.Piercing: Pierce the membrane of foods such as eggs, oysters, snails, sausages, livers, clams and whole vegetables, so they do not burst.Reheating: Cooked food reheat extremely well by using a low level of microwave energy. Place denser foods near the outer edge of the dish when reheating.Covering: Most foods will cook and reheat better when covered. Pierce plastic wrap to vent steam.Stirring: Stir foods to help cook/reheat more quickly and evenly.Turning Over: To promote even cooking, turn larger solid items such as roasts or baked potatoes over halfway through the cooking time.Shielding: Use small, smooth strips of aluminum foil to prevent corners, thin or bony areas from overcooking.Standing Time: Foods continue cooking even after removal from the oven. Standing time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking/defrosting.Converting RecipesMicrowave recipes will likely call for less liquid and cooking time. Microwave ThermometersFor best results, a microwave-safe thermometer can be carefully and properly inserted into the food. The guide below gives suggested thermometer readings for meat and poultry. Keep in mind that standing time is essential for most food to reach its proper serving temperature. Guide to Internal Temperatures140°F (60°C) . Rare beef 150°F (66°C) . Vegetables, hot drinks, soups, casseroles160°F (71°C) . Medium beef, lamb, veal165°F (74°C) . Well-done beef, lamb170°F (77°C) . Whole fish185°F (85°C) .

26TIMED COOKING - MEATS, POULTRY AND FISHPREPARATION•Use a microwave-safe dish.•Defrost frozen food completely.•Wash poultry and fish in cool water.•Arrange small items in a single layer in dish, avoid overlapping edges of food. •Place thick sections toward edge of the dish.•Use a rack in the dish to elevate meat out of the juices.•Use spices, seasonings as desired. •Add salt after cooking if necessary. •Aluminum foil can be used to cover thin parts of meat or poultry wings and legs to prevent overcooking.•Foil should be applied toward the end of cooking time.•Place meat fat side down.COOKING•Use wax paper or plastic wrap to stop splattering.•Turn over or rearrange meat, poultry and fish halfway through cooking time.CHECKING DONENESSBeef: The color inside meat indicates doneness. Rare roast should be red inside. Medium is pink and gray indicates well done.Pork: Cooked pork meat should be gray with clear juice.Poultry: Juices should be clear yellow when cooked. Legs should move freely.Fish and Seafood: Should be opaque in color and flake easily. To check internal temperature of various meats and poultry, use a microwave or conventional meat thermometer after removing meat from the oven. Insert the thermometer avoiding bone or fat. Lower temperatures are found in the center of the roast or in the muscle close to a large bone. Never use a conventional meat thermometer in the microwave oven.Return undercooked food to oven for a short period of time at the recommended power level. Let stand as recommended in chart.

29COOKING GUIDETIMED COOKING - BAKED GOODS AND DESSERTSConverting RecipesWhen adapting quick bread recipes, you will find it necessary to reduce the amount of leavening (baking powder or soda) by about one-quarter the normal amount. A bitter aftertaste is apparent if too much leavening is used in biscuits or muffins. Since food rises higher in the microwave oven, you will not see a loss in volume from the reduction of soda or baking powder.If a recipe contains buttermilk or sour cream, do not change the amount of soda, since it serves to counteract the sour taste and does not act only as a leavening agent. When using a mix where leavening cannot be reduced, allow the dough to stand about 10 minutes before cooking in order for some of the gas to escape.Breads and rolls should be reheated only until they are warm to the touch. Overheating or overcooking makes bread tough and rubbery.Cooking/Reheating GuideItem Power CookingTime Special NotesFrench bread,Frozen: 1 lbRoom temp: 1 lbP80P801 - 2 min.20 - 30 sec.Place on paper plate or paper towel.Whole coffee cake,Frozen: 10 - 13 ozRoom temp: 10 - 13 ozP80P801 - 2 min.1/2 - 1 min.Place on paper plate or paper towel.

31MAINTENANCEQUESTIONS AND ANSWERSQ. When the microwave oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it does not work properly. What is wrong?A. The microcomputer used in the microwave oven control may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed. Unplug the oven from the wall outlet and then plug it back in again. The microcomputer should then automatically reset for proper functioning.Q. Why is there noise coming from the turntable when the microwave oven is turned on?A. This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom are dirty. Clean the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom. Frequent cleaning of these parts should eliminate or reduce the noise.Q. Why is there noise coming from the microwave oven when reducing power?A. When cooking with a power other than P100, the oven cycles on and off to obtain the lower power level. The clicking noise can be heard when the oven cycles on and off. This is normal.Q. Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?A. Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been made to vent this steam out of the air exhaust vent.Q. What is wrong when the microwave oven interior light will not glow?A. There may be several reasons why the interior light will not glow. The light bulb may have burned out or START may have not been pressed. Replace the light bulb or press START. Never replace the light bulb by yourself. Contact an Authorized Sanyo Service Center.Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?A. The egg yolk may pop because of steam build-up inside the membrane. Pierce the membrane with a toothpick before cooking it. Never microwave eggs in the shell since they may explode.Q. How are boil-overs avoided?A. Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If you open the microwave oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR, the food will stop boiling.Q. Why does the beep tone sound when a pad on the control panel is pressed?A. The beep tone sounds to assure that the setting is being properly entered. However, you can turn off the beep tone. See optional settings on page 16.Q. Why does the exhaust fan start when the FAN keypad is not pressed?A. High temperature air from the heating surface below microwave oven can cause an overheating condition that may damage the oven. The exhaust fan will start automatically to cool off the microwave oven and prevent damage to it.Q. How can you be sure your microwave oven is turned off when the exhaust fan is operating?A. When you are operating the microwave, the sound of the exhaust fan may be louder than the microwave itself. This could possibly prevent you from knowing for sure if the microwave oven is turned off. The microwave oven is designed to automatically turn off when door is open.If for some reason you are not sure the microwave oven is turned off, turn the exhaust fan off to eliminate the sound and check to see if the microwave oven is operating. If you are still not satisfied, have the microwave oven checked.Maint.fm Page 31 Tuesday, February 19, 2002 1:10 PM
32CARE AND CLEANINGWipe the microwave oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. This should be done on a weekly basis, more often if needed. Never use cleaning powders or rough pads. Excessive oil splatters on the top of teh interior cavity will be difficult to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon.Stubborn messes: Boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 minutes. Steam will soften the mess. To get rid of odors inside the oven, boil a cup of water with some lemon juice in it.REMOVABLE PARTSThe following parts may be removed as described. They should be washed in warm (not hot) water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean, rinse them well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning powders, steel wool or rough pads.• The turntable may be cleaned in the sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause the turntable to break during use.• The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly.• The metal grease filters should be cleaned once a month or as needed. Soak grease filters in hot water and a mild detergent. Scrub to remove embedded dirt and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not use ammonia, corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-based oven cleaner, or place in a dishwasher.
