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.
NOTE:
Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable
cookware
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 _,4 to 1/2inch (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, 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 or "IV 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 I 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.
