MICROWAVE OVENUSE
A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which 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.
•
Do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave
oven doori
•
Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.
•
The turntable must be in place and correct side up when
microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped
or broken. See "Assistance
or Service" section to reorder.
•
Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in
microwave oven.
•
Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including
brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in
microwave oven.
•
Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or
deep frying. The microwave oven cannot maintain
appropriate
temperatures.
•
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
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. Cover
poached eggs and allow a standing time.
The vent fan has 2 speeds: high and low.
To protect the microwave oven, if the temperature from the range
or cooktop below the microwave oven gets too hot, the vent fan
will automatically
turn on. It may stay on for up to 1 hour to cool
the microwave oven. When this occurs, the Vent Fan pad will not
function.
The exhaust fan is also the cooling fan, and will start at low speed
when any cooking function begins. It will remain on until the
cooking function is over.
To Turn Vent Fan On/Off: Touch VENT FAN HIGH/LOW/OFF pad
once for HIGH, twice for LOW or 3 times for OFR
The cooktop light has 3 settings: on, night and off.
To Turn On/Night/Off:
Touch LIGHT ON/NIGHT/OFF
pad
repeatedly to cycle through the settings.
The Demo Mode is ideal for learning how to use the microwave
oven. When set, functions can be entered without actually turning
on the magnetron. The microwave oven light will come on, the
fan will run, and if on, the turntable will rotate.
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. 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.
