Maytag MMV6190DS user manual

While the Maytag MMV6190DS microwave is designed to accommodate a wide range of foods and materials, there are some items you should avoid putting in it. Here are a few examples:
1. Metal: Metal objects should never be placed inside a microwave as they can cause sparks, fire, or damage to the appliance.
. Styrofoam: While some microwavable Styrofoam is available, many types can melt or release harmful chemicals when heated.
3. Plastic containers not labeled as microwave-safe: Certain plastics can melt or leach harmful chemicals into food when exposed to high temperatures.
4. Aluminum foil: Similar to metal, aluminum foil can cause sparks due to the electrical currents that occur in the microwave.
5. Dishware with metallic trim or decorations: Any dishware that contains metal accents, such as gold or silver trim, should not be used in a microwave.
6. Paper bags: Paper bags can ignite or release toxic fumes when heated, so they should not be used in the microwave unless specifically designed for it.
7. Certain types of glass: Some types of glassware may not be microwave-safe and can shatter or crack when exposed to high temperatures.
Always consult the user manual of your specific microwave model, such as the Maytag MMV6190DS, for a full list of recommended and prohibited items.

To reset your Maytag microwave model MMV6190DS, you can follow these steps:
1. Unplug the microwave from the power source or turn off the circuit breaker that powers it.
. Leave it unplugged or turned off for about one minute to allow the microwave's internal components to reset.
Alternatively, you can also follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the "Cancel" or "Off/Cancel" button on the control panel for approximately 3 to 5 seconds. This action should reset the microwave.
After performing either of the above methods, the microwave should be reset, and you can plug it back in or turn on the circuit breaker to restore power.

To defrost meat in a Maytag microwave (such as model MMV6190DS), follow these steps:
1. Place the meat on a microwave-safe plate or tray. If you have individual cuts of meat, separate them so they defrost evenly.
. Open the microwave door and place the plate with meat inside the microwave.
3. Press the "Time Cook" or "Cook Time" button, followed by the number buttons to set the desired defrost time. For example, if you want to defrost for 5 minutes, press "5", "0", "0".
4. If your microwave has a specific defrost button, you can use that instead of setting a cooking time. Consult your microwave's manual for specific instructions related to defrosting.
5. Press the "Start" or "Start/Pause" button to begin the defrosting cycle.
6. Periodically check on the meat during the defrosting process to ensure it is not cooking. If you notice any parts starting to cook, flip or rearrange the meat to promote successful defrosting.
7. Once the defrosting time is complete, take out the meat from the microwave and check if it has thawed completely. If it's still slightly frozen, you can continue defrosting for a little longer.
8. If you're not cooking the defrosted meat immediately, make sure to transfer it to the refrigerator and use it within a safe time frame as recommended by the food safety guidelines.
Note: It's important to refer to your Maytag microwave's specific manual for detailed instructions on defrosting, as microwave models may vary in features and settings.
