Food Characteristics Cooking Techniques Bone and Fat Piercing Both 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. Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced, scored or have a strip of skin peeled before cooking to allow steam to escape.
Cooking Techniques (continued) Covering Turning As with conventional cooking, moisture evaporates during microwave cooking. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When using plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by folding 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.
Before Requesting Service THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL The oven causes interference with my TV. Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, hair dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven. Steam accumulates on the oven door and warm air comes from the oven vents. During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food.
Before Requesting Service PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE (continued) REMEDY The oven is not plugged in securely. Remove plug from outlet, wait 10 seconds and re-insert. Circuit breaker or fuse is tripped or blown. Contact the specified service centre. There is a problem with the outlet. Plug another appliance into the outlet to check if the outlet is working. The door is not closed completely. Close the oven door securely. Start button was not pressed after programming. Press Start button.
