ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully
and always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it
for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and
recipes.
NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable
and support nor turn the turntable over so that a
large dish could be placed in the microwave oven. The
turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on
to absorb the microwave energy.
When using the microwave oven at power levels below
100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.
It is normal for the exterior of the microwave oven to be
warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
Room humidity and the moisture in food will inuence
the amount of moisture that condenses in the microwave
oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much
condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation openings
must not be blocked.
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It
should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
All microwave ovens are rated by using the IEC Test
Procedure as 1200 watts, except for CPM0209 and
CGMO205 which are 1100 watts. In using recipes or
package directions, check food a minute or two before
the minimum time and add time accordingly.
• 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. Check recipe or cookbook
for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave
plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help
foods to cook evenly.
• Shield with small at pieces of aluminum foil any thin
areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before
dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed
cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers.
Large items like roasts must 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.
• Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven
and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which
allows the food to nish cooking without overcooking.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that
cooking temperatures have been reached.
- 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 show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and akes easily with a fork.
