MICROWAVE OVEN USE

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 door.

■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.

■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.

Food Characteristics

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 needed. 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.
