How your
microwave
oven works
(cont.)
Microwaves
pass throuc h most glass, paper, and
plastics
without heating
them so food absorbs
the energy. Microwaves
bounce
off metar
containers
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 regularoven
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.
NOTE: Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable
cook_,are
is not suitable and it is difficult
to
maintain
appropriate
deep frying temperatures.
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 ONE MINUTE while
the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is
over (see the "Using ADD ONE MINUTE" section).
• To help make sure the food is evenly cooked, stir,
turn over, or rearrange the food about halfway
through the cooking time.
• 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 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to 1.2 cm)
to vent steam during heating or cooking.
Radio interference
Using your microwave oven may cause interference
to your radio, 33/, or similarequipment. 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 or TV away from the microwave
oven.
• Plugging the microwave oven into a different
outlet so that the microwave oven and radio or 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 and 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.
