5. BEFORE SETTING MICROWAVE OVEN CONTROLS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
5.1 About Your Microwave Oven
Read and keep this user manual handy for future reference on cooking
tips, techniques, and recipes.
IMPORTANT
Always use the microwave with the turntable and support in place.
Do not turn the turntable upside down.
Never turn on the microwave function without food inside.
The appliance may only be used for preparing food. Do not use it
to dry clothes or paper.
Check the food a minute or two before the minimum cooking time
specified in recipes or package directions. Add more time, if
needed.
The following cases may occur while using the device and they are
normal:
• Magnetron cycle on and off when the microwave oven operates at
power levels lower than 100%.
• The exterior of the appliance become warm during cooking or
reheating.
• Moisture condensate in the oven interior. You can reduce the
condensation by covering the food. Be sure not to block the
ventilation openings.
Radio or TV Interference:
If the microwave oven causes interference with your radio or TV,
ensure the microwave is on a different electrical circuit. You can also
move the radio or TV further away from the microwave or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.
5.2 About Microwave Cooking
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated
and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or
ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. It prevents spattering and helps foods to
cook evenly. Refer to your recipe or cookbook for advice on using
paper towels, wax paper, microwave-safe plastic wrap, or a lid.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during
cooking, if possible.
• Turn foods like chicken and hamburgers once during cooking to
speed up the process. Large items, such as roasts, should be
turned over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both
from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
• Allowing food to stand in or out of the oven after cooking can
improve results. Standing time after defrosting or cooking allows the
temperature to spread evenly throughout the food.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking
temperatures have been reached. Doneness signs include:
– Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
– Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
– Poultry thigh joints move easily.
– Meat and poultry have no pink color.
– Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
5.3 About Foods
CAUTION!
• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers (e.g.
closed jars) will explode and should not be heated in the
microwave oven. There is a risk of injury!
• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up
inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in
injury.
• Liquids may start to boil during or after removal from the
microwave. To prevent burns, let the container stand in the
microwave for 30-40 seconds after it stops. Avoid boiling liquids
in narrow-necked containers like soft drink bottles, wine flasks,
or narrow coffee cups, as steam can build up and cause them to
burst or overflow.
• Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles
(especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is
open, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to
burst, possibly resulting in injury.
• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be cautious when
opening containers of hot food, like popcorn bags, cooking
pouches, and boxes. To avoid injury, direct steam away from
your hands and face.
• Operating the microwave without food inside for more than a
minute can damage it, potentially start a fire, and shorten its
lifespan.
• Do not overcook potatoes. They may dehydrate and catch fire,
causing damage to your microwave oven.
• Always use pot holders or oven mitts when handling utensils
that are in contact with food. There is a risk of burns!
• When opening a food container, hold the lid by the farthest end
and pull it towards you to direct steam away from your face and
hands. Open food and popcorn bags away from your face.
IMPORTANT
• Only pop popcorn in your microwave if you use a special
microwave popcorn accessory or popcorn labeled for
microwave use.
• Pierce foods with unbroken skins, like potatoes, hot dogs,
sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers, and egg yolks, to
allow steam to escape during cooking.
• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid off.
Ensure all infant food is thoroughly cooked, and stir it to
distribute heat evenly. Be cautious when warming formula or
breast milk, as the container may feel cooler than the milk.
Always test the milk before feeding the baby.
• Cook meat to an internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C)
and poultry to at least 165°F (74°C), to protect against food-
borne illness.
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States
Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) recommended temperatures.
To check the doneness of the food, insert a meat thermometer in the
thick or dense part of the meat, away from fat or bone. Do not leave the
thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for
microwave use.
Check the cooking process frequently to avoid overcooking food.
Do not use the oven cavity to store any items (e.g. cookbooks).
Use only high quality, carefully handled food to minimize the spread of
food-borne bacteria.
Keep the waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing
and/or fires.
Make sure any utensils, accessories or your clothes do not touch the
safety door latches when removing items from the microwave oven.
