UTENSIL TEST  
Dishes that do not absorb microwave energy are best for microwave  
cooking. Lock on the label to verify that particular cups, glasses, plates  
are indeed suitable, especially paper goods. If you are not sure, try this  
utensil test to check.  
Put the empty utensil in the microwave oven.  
Put one cup of water in a glass measure next to the empty utensil.  
Heat on HI for 1 minute.  
After 1 minute the water should be warm but the utensil should not.  
If the utensil is warm, it is not suitable for microwave cooking.  
MICROWAVE UTENSILS  
Glass, Ceramic and China  
Ovenproof glass or ceramic baking dishes are the most used microwave utensils.  
Many of these items are readily available in most homes : glass measure, custard cups, mixing bowls,  
covered casseroles, pie plates and round or square cake dishes. Ovenproof dinner ware is usually safe to  
use in the microwave.  
Do not heat or cook in glass jars or bottles.  
Do not use dishes with silver, gold, platinum or other metal trim. Arcing may occur and /or the dish may  
break.  
Do not use delicate or stemmed glassware. Although the glass may be transparent to microwave energy,  
heat from the food may cause the glassware to crack.  
Plastics  
Plastic dishes, cups, mugs and bowls may be used in the oven for short periods of time. None of these  
should be used in the oven for prolonged periods because distortion and melting may occur.  
Check manufacturer's recommendations concerning microwave safety.  
Plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in most recipes if the dish is deep enough to avoid plastic wrap  
touching the food. Always vent the wrap by folding back one corner to allow excess steam to escape.  
Plastic cooking bags should be slit before cooking so excess steam can escape.  
Do not use wire twist ties to close the bag. Wire twist ties can cause arcing which can damage the oven.  
Paper  
Paper cups, wax paper, napkins, paper towels, and plates may be used for short cooking. Prolonged time  
in the oven can cause paper to burn. Do not use recycled paper products, such as brown paper bags.  
They contain impurities which may cause arcing and damage the oven.  
Metal  
Metal utensils should not be used in the oven. Metal reflects microwave energy so foods will not cook  
evenly.  
Metal can cause arcing and damage the oven.

COOKING GUIDE  
EGGS AND CHEESE  
Eggs and cheese are delicate foods requiring care in  
microwave cooking. Piercing the yolks of eggs helps to  
release steam during cooking. Stirring egg mixtures  
frequently helps distribute the heat evenly. Because the  
microwave energy cooks so quickly, always check to see  
if the eggs are done to your satisfaction after the standing  
time. At this time, stir, rearrange or turn over. If needed,  
add additional time gradually. To cook only one egg, try a  
lower Power setting until you get satisfactory results.  
if stirred into a hot mixture. Cheese may not look melted so  
always stir before determining if cheese is melted enough.  
Sprinkle cheese over a hot casserole in a thicker layer at  
the edges. Microwave energy cooks from the outside in,  
so the outer edges will melt faster than the center.  
For cheese melt sandwiches, heat filling where possible  
before adding it to the bread. Top each sandwich with a  
slice of cheese and cook on P-HI for about 15 to 20  
seconds for one sandwich, about 30 seconds for two  
sandwiches and about 1 minute for four sandwiches or  
until cheese is melted.  
Shredded soft cheeses and grated hard cheeses melt well  
HARD-COOKED EGGS  
4 eggs  
1. In a 4-cup glass measure, break eggs. Pierce  
each yolk twice with a fork.  
2. Cover with wax paper. Press P-5. Cook for 2  
minutes; stir to move cooked eggs from outer

2
Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food  
spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls,  
wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be  
used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of  
harsh detergent or abrasives is not  
recommended.  
The outside oven surface should be cleaned  
with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a  
soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating  
parts inside the oven, water should not be  
allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.  
3
If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a  
soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or  
abrasives on Control Panel.  
4
5
The roller guide and oven cavity floor should  
be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise.  
Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven  
with mild detergent water or window cleaner  
and dry. The roller guide may be washed in  
mild sudsy water.  
7
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 and  
in no way indicates malfunction of the unit.  
ROLLER GUIDE  
The ROLLER GUIDE and oven floor should  
be cleaned frequently to prevent excessive  
noise.

USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY  
GENERAL USE  
Do not attempt to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.  
Do not place any object between the oven front frame and the door or allow residue to build up on sealing  
surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.  
Do not subject the oven door strain or weight such as a child hanging on an open door.  
This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury to you and damage to the oven.  
Do not operate the oven if door seals or sealing surfaces are damaged; or if door is bent; or if hinges are  
loose or broken.  
Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage the oven.  
Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.  
Do not use recycled paper products as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks or fires.  
Do not hit or strike the control panel with hard objects. This can damage the oven.  
FOOD  
Never use your microwave oven for home canning. The oven is not designed for proper home canning.  
Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.  
Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It is better to undercook rather than over cook foods.  
Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for more cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be  
done.  
Heat small quantities of food or foods with low moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn or  
catch on fire.  
Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up and eggs can explode.  
Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are examples of food with non-porous skins.  
These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.  
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.  
Always stir liquids before heating. Heated liquids can erupt, if not mixed with air.  
Do not leave the oven unattended while popping corn.  
Do not pop popcorn in a paper bag unless it is the commercially prepared Microwave Popcorn product.  
The kernels can overheat and ignite a brown paper bag.  
Do not put packaged Microwave Popcorn bags directly on the oven tray. Place the package on a  
microwave safe glass or ceramic plate to avoid overheating and cracking the oven tray.  
Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturers' suggested popping time. Longer popping does  
not yield more popcorn but it can result in scorch burn of fire. Remember, the popcorn bag and tray can  
be too hot to handle. Remove with caution and use pot holders.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
* Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any food in it. Is it damaged?  
* A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven.  
However, it is not recommended.  
* Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray or roller guide removed?  
* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must always be used in the oven before cooking.  
* Q : Can I open the door when the oven is operating?  
* A : The door can be opened anytime during the cooking operation. Then microwave energy will be  
instantly switched off and the time setting will maintain until the door is closed and START is  
touched.  
* Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven after cooking?  
* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is normal. It is caused by steam from cooking food  
hitting the cool oven surface.  
* Q : Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?  
* A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes are made to allow light  
to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.
