How Your Microwave Oven Works Magnetron Oven c&y Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks the food. Microwaves are like TV waves or light waves. You can’t see them, but you can see what they do.
Operating Safety Precautions To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the microwave oven, follow the precautions on page 34-37. Never cook or reheat a whole egg. Steam build- up in whole eggs may cause them to burst and burn you, and possibly damage the oven.
Do not heat, store or use flammable materials in or near the oven. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode resulting in damage to the oven or possible personal injury. Do not use the oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.
Operating Safety Precautions Continued Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave approved popcorn popper or commerical pack- age designed especially for microwave ovens. Follow directions supplied with the popper. Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag.
J General information If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less than the normal 120 volts, cooking times may be longer. To test a dish for safe US, put it into the oven with a cup of water beside it. Cook on HIGH Cook Power for one minute.

Cooking Guide INTRODUCTION 1. How Your Microwave Oven Works 2. Getting the Best Results From Your Microwave Oven Microwaves are a form of energy similar to radio and television waves. Your microwave oven is con- structed in such a way as to take advantage of microwave energy.
Some of the recipes, particularly those for breads, cakes, and meats suggest that food be removed from the oven when it is still slightly under- cooked. This is not a mistake. When allowed to stand, the food will continue to cook outside the oven, as the heat trapped within the outer portions of the food gradually travels inward.
Turning Over: Larger sized food such as roasts and whole poultry should be turned over so that the top and bottom will cook evenly. It is also a good idea to turn over chicken pieces and chops. Piercing: To prevent bursting, food enclosed in a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced prior to cooking.
5. Microwave-Safe Utensils Never use metal or metal-trammed utensrls in your microwave oven. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal object in the oven and cause “arcing”, whrch resembles lightn- ing. Most heat-resistant, nonmetallic cooking uten- sils are safe for use in your microwave oven.
6. Some Microwaving Tips Boiling Water: Place 1 cup of water in a ~-CUP glass measure and cook uncovered 2’12 to 3% minutes at Power Level 10, or until boiling. Instant Coffee: Place 6 ounces of water in a microwavable cup or mug. Cook uncovered 2 to 21/z minutes at Power Level 10, or until hot.
7. Microwave Power Levels Your microwave oven is equipped with ten power levels (11 levels including 0) to give you maximum flexibil- ity and control over cooking. When your cooking program is completed, a beep automatically sounds. The table below will give you some idea of which foods are prepared at each of the various power levels.
MEAT Now with the help of your microwave, you can serve twice the meal in half the time. Best of all, you don’t have to remember to take the meat out of the freezer in the morning for an evening meal. Defrosting techniques and fast cooking eliminate all these meal-planning roadblocks.
