GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

HOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS (CONT.)

Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal con-

tainers so food does not absorb the energy.

Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads to the center from the outer, cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking. This is one

of the reasons for

letting some foods

(for example, roasts

or baked potatoes)

stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring

some foods during the cooking time.

The microwaves disturb water molecules in the food. As the molecules bounce around bumping into each other, heat is made, like rubbing

your hands together. This is the heat that does the cooking.

For the best cooking results

•Always cook food for the shortest cooking time recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking. If needed, touch ADD MINUTE while the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is over (see the “Using ADD MINUTE” section).

•Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all recipes. This will help make sure the food is evenly cooked.

•If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.

NOTE: Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable cookware is not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:

•Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.

•Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

•Moving the radio/TV away from the microwave oven.

•Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and radio/TV are on different branch circuits.

TESTING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

To test the oven put about 1 cup of cold water in a glass container in the oven. Close the door. Make sure it latches. Follow the

directions in “Cooking at high cook power” in the “Using Your Microwave Oven” section to set the oven to cook

for 2 minutes. When the time is up, the water should be heated.
