SHIELDING
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent
overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry wing tips,
the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use
only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage
your oven.
TURNING
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to
microwave energy. This is especially important with large foods
such as roasts.
STANDING
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and
continue to cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods
stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes and
whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in
the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as
soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking
is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When
heating baby food, stir well at removal and test the temperature
before serving.
ADDING MOISTURE
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is
uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to
stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of
water to dry food to help it cook.
Utensils Guide
This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave,
which ones have limited use for short periods, and which ones
should not be used in the microwave.
RECOMMENDED
Microwave browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small
items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions
provided with your browning dish.
Microwaveable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small
opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on
the food.
Cleaning and Care
1. Before cleaning, disconnect the power cord from the
electrical outlet or turn the circuit breaker off.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or
spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth.
Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid
the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain,
streak or dull the door surface.
3. The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth.
To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven,
water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation
openings.
4. Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and
adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any
Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and
covering; these absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering.
Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and
could ignite.
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or
cooking.
Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low
temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain
metal and could ignite.
Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
Thermometers — Use only those labeled "Microwave Safe"
and follow all directions. Check the food in several places.
Conventional thermometers may be used on microwave food
once the food has been removed from the oven.
LIMITED USE
Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking
of exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so
be careful. You should keep distance of 1 inch (25.4mm) between
aluminum foil and cavity.
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are labeled
"Microwave Safe". If they are not labeled, test them to make sure
they can be used safely.
Plastic — Use only if labeled "Microwave Safe". Other plastics can
melt.
NOT RECOMMENDED
Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a
microwave. It can shatter and cause damage and injury.
Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags
that are designed for microwave use.
Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an
unhealthy residue on food.
Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as
margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.
Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal
before cooking.
NOTE: Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving,
place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30
seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.
spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaner.
5. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with
a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave
oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning
on.
6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the
oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the
microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions.
In such case, it is normal.
7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray
for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a
dishwasher.
8. The roller ring and oven bottom should be cleaned regularly
