How do I program Brown and Time?Directions for Browning
When Browning, heat is radiated from the two
elements at the top of the oven. The Browning
elements do not require preheating. Browning
is particularly useful for reheating crispy foods
such as fried chicken or chicken nuggets. It is
also suitable for hot sandwiches and au gratin
dishes.
Place food to be Browned on Wire Rack and
place Wire Rack on Glass Tray. A heat-proof
dish can be placed underneath Wire Rack to
catch oil drippings from foods. Select Brown
setting, set the time and start the oven. The
food being Browned can be turned over after
half the Browning time. When the oven door is
opened the program is interrupted. Turn the
food over, place it back the oven, close the

Defrosting Tips & Techniques
Before Freezing:1. Freeze meats, poultry, and fish in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. Place wax paper between
layers.
2. Package in heavy-duty plastic wraps, bags (labeled “For Freezer”), or freezer paper.
3. Remove as much air as possible, i.e. create a vacuum.
4. Seal securely, date, and label.To Defrost:1. Remove wrapper. This helps moisture to evaporate. Juices from food can get hot and cook the food. 
2. Set food on microwave safe roasting rack in an appropriately sized dish. 
3. Place roasts fat-side down. Place whole poultry breast-side down.
4. Drain liquids during defrosting.
5. Turn over (invert) items during defrosting.
6. Shield edges and ends if needed. (See Cooking Techniques).
7. Select power and minimum time so that items will be under-defrosted.After Defrosting:1. Large items may be icy in the center. Defrosting will complete during STANDING TIME.
2. Let stand, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for time shown in the chart below.
3. See chart below for standing time and rinsing directions.
4. Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer stand time.

Remove and wash in warm
soapy water or in a dishwasher.
Outside oven surfaces.
Clean with a damp cloth. 
To prevent damage to the
operating parts inside the
oven, water should not be
allowed to seep into ventila-
tion openings.
Oven Door:
Wipe with a soft cloth when steam
accumulates inside or around the
outside of the oven door. During
cooking, especially under high
humidity conditions, steam is given
off from the food. (Some steam will
condense on cooler surfaces, such
as the oven door.) This is normal.
Inside surface is covered with a
heat and vapour barrier film. Do not
remove.
Roller Ring and oven cavity
floor:
Wipe the bottom surface of the
oven with mild detergent water
or window cleaner and dry.
Roller Ring may be washed in

Additional Method for
Cooking Popcorn
When using popcorn pad, the weight may
not be the same as offered. By using the
number pad 
1or 0, the programs can be
adjusted to cook popcorn for a heavier or
lighter weight.
Press 
1or 0pads before pressing Start.
NOTES ON POPCORN PAD:
1. Use prepackaged room temperature
microwave popcorn. Read manufacturers
instructions.
2. Place bag in oven according to manufacturers
directions.
3. Pop only one bag at a time.
4. To obtain best cooking results, fold in the four
corners of the bag, so that bag turns freely.
5. After popping, allow the contents of the bag to
cool for a few minutes before opening. Open
bag carefully away from face and body
because popcorn and steam are extremely hot.
6. Do not reheat unpopped kernels or reuse bag.
7. NEVER leave oven unattended when pop-
ping popcorn. Stop the oven when popping
slows to 2 to 3 seconds between pops.
Overcooking may cause scorching.
REMARK: 
1. Popcorn bags of various weight may have the
same cooking time.
2. Cooking time for popcorn may vary with power
line voltage.

Cooking Techniques
Cooking Techniques
ShieldingThin areas of meat and poultry cook more quickly
than meaty portions. To prevent overcooking,
these thin areas can be shielded with strips of
aluminum foil. Wooden toothpicks may be used to
hold the foil in place.TimingA range in cooking time is given in each recipe.
The time range compensates for the uncontrol-
lable differences in food shapes, starting temper-
ature, and regional preferences. Always cook
food for the minimum cooking time given in a
recipe and check for doneness. If the food is
undercooked, continue cooking. It is easier to add
time to an undercooked product. Once the food is
overcooked, nothing can be done.StirringStirring is usually necessary during microwave
cooking. We have noted when stirring is helpful,
using the words once, twice, frequently, or occa-
sionally to describe the amount of stirring neces-
sary. Always bring the cooked outside edges
toward the center and the less cooked center por-
tions toward the outside of the dish.RearrangingRearrange small items such as chicken pieces,
shrimp, hamburger patties, or pork chops.
Rearrange pieces from the edge to the center
and pieces from the center to the edge of the
dish.TurningIt is not possible to stir some foods to redistribute
the heat. At times, microwave energy will concen-
trate in one area of a food. To help insure even
cooking, these foods need to be turned. Turn
over large foods, such as roasts or turkeys,
halfway through cooking.Stand TimeMost foods will continue to cook by conduction
after the microwave oven is turned off. In meat
cookery, the internal temperature will rise 5°F to
15°F (3°C to 8°C), if allowed to stand, tented with
foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Casseroles and
vegetables need a shorter amount of standing
time, but this standing time is necessary to allow
foods to complete cooking to the center without
overcooking on the edges.Test for DonenessThe same tests for doneness used in convention-
al cooking may be used for microwave cooking.
Meat is done when fork-tender or splits at fibers.
Chicken is done when juices are clear yellow and
drumstick moves freely. Fish is done when it
flakes and is opaque. Cake is done when a tooth-
pick or cake tester is inserted and comes out
clean. Candy is done when it reaches the proper
temperature for each stage of crystallization.
SpacingIndividual foods, such as baked potatoes, cup-
cakes and appetizers, will cook more evenly if
placed in the oven equal distances apart. When
possible, arrange foods in a circular pattern.CoveringAs with conventional cooking, moisture evapo-
rates during microwave cooking. Casserole lids or
plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When
using plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by fold-
ing back part of the plastic wrap from the edge of
the dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or
remove plastic wrap as recipe directs for stand
time. When removing plastic wrap covers, as well
as any glass lids, be careful to remove them
away from you to avoid steam burns. Various
degrees of moisture retention are also obtained
by using wax paper or paper towels. However,
unless specified, a recipe is cooked covered.
These are tested and pre-timed (based on the
power rating of this oven) for the quantity of food
listed in the chart on page 13. Locale, power fluc-
tuations and personal tastes are not taken into
account. Should you prefer your food cooked dif-
ferently, use power and time method shown on
page 8.

Food Characteristics
Cooking Techniques
Bone and FatBoth bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may
cause irregular cooking. Meat next to the tips of
bones may overcook while meat positioned under
a large bone, such as a ham bone, may be
undercooked. Large amounts of fat absorb
microwave energy and the meat next to these
areas may overcook.DensityPorous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls
take less time to cook than heavy, dense foods
such as potatoes and roasts. When reheating
donuts or other foods with different centers be
very careful. Certain foods have centers made
with sugar, water, or fat and these centers attract
microwaves (For ex., jelly donuts). When a jelly
donut is heated, the jelly can become extremely
hot while the exterior remains warm to the touch.
This could result in a burn if the food is not
allowed to cool properly in the center.QuantityTwo potatoes take longer to cook than one pota-
to. As the quantity of the food increases so does
the cooking time. When cooking small amounts of
food such as one or two potatoes, do not leave
oven unattended. The moisture content in the
food may decrease and a fire could result.ShapeUniform sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a
drumstick will cook more quickly than the meaty
end. To compensate for irregular shapes, place
thin parts toward the center of the dish and thick
pieces toward the edge.SizeThin pieces cook more quickly than thick pieces.Starting TemperatureFoods that are room temperature take less time
to cook than if they are chilled, refrigerated, or
frozen.
PiercingFoods with skins or membranes must be pierced
scored or have a strip of skin peeled before cook-
ing to allow steam to escape. Pierce whole egg
yolks and whites, clams, oysters, chicken livers,
whole potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole
apples or new potatoes should have a 1-inch strip
of skin peeled before cooking. Score sausages
and frankfurters.BrowningFoods will not have the same brown appearance
as conventionally cooked foods or those foods
which are cooked utilizing a browning feature.
Meats and poultry may be coated with browning
sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce or
shake-on browning sauce. To use, combine
browning sauce with melted butter or margarine;
brush on before cooking. 
For quick breads or muffins, brown sugar can be
used in the recipe in place of granulated sugar, or
the surface can be sprinkled with dark spices
before baking.
