KOR-86D79S(¿ ) 01. 8. 304:23PM `1 PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY (a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks. (b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. (c) WARNING : If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a trained person : (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches(broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces. [. . . ] Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can catch fire. Paper plates and cups - Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and can catch fire. Thermometers - Use only those labeled "Microwave Safe" and follow all directions. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven. COOKING TECHNIQUES Stirring Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will turns off when you open the door to stir your food. Arrangement Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or delicate parts toward the center of the turntable. Shielding Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven. Limited Use Aluminum foil - Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much toil can damage your oven, so be careful. Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware - Use these if they are labeled "Microwave Safe". The times are approximate because freezer temperatures vary. To obtain in best results, follow special techniques for defrosting. Remember when defrosting to allow for a standing time to evenly thaw food. If the item is not totally thawed after standing time, place it back in the microwave oven for a few additional minutes. Unwrap food, place on microwave-safe roasting rack in microwave-safe cooking dish or arrange properly on the dish so microwaves can reach all sides. And halfway through defrosting time, stir, turn over or redistribute food. Breaking up the pieces of chicken, fish and meat when they are partially thawed will help. Any pieces which are already thawed should be removed. Shield any areas which may show sings of starting to cook-thin ends of roasts or poultry legs and wings-with foil. 6 KOR-86D79S(¿ ) 01. 8. 304:23PM `7 DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS CHART Item and Weight Defrosting Time BEEF Mineed beef 10-12 min. [. . . ] Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely, without overcooking the outside. * Q : What does "standing time" mean?* A : "Standing time" means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time to allow it to finish cooking. * Q : Why does my oven not always cook as fast as the microwave cooking guide says?
