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 30 Sac while the oven is operating,
or after the cooking
cycle is over (see the "Add
30 Sec" section).
• Stir, turn over, or rearrange
the food
being cooked about halfway
through
the cooking
time for all recipes.
This will help ensure that the food
is evenly cooked.
• 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 to vent steam during
cooking.
• The metal
shelf is used for cooking
certain
items and should be removed
from the microwave
oven when not
needed.
Do not store metal shelf in the microwave
oven.

GUIDE
Microwave
Cooking
Most heat-reslstant,
non-metalllc
cookware
is safe for use in your microwave
oven. However,
to test cookware
before
using, follow
these steps:
1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave
oven.
2. Measure
1 cup (250mJ) of water
in a glass measuring
cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
3. Microwave
on 100% power for 1 minute.
If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave
cooking.
Convection Cooking
• Metal
Pans are recommended
for aii types of baked products,
but especially
where browning
or crusting is important.
• Dark or dull finish metal
pans are best for breads
and pies because
they absorb
heat and produce
a crisper crust.
, Shiny aluminum
pans are better
for cakes, cookies, or muffins because these pans reflect
heat and help produce
a
light, tender crust.
• Glass or glass-ceramic
casserole
or baking
dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability
of glass.
Combination Cooking
Glass or glass-ceramic
baking
containers
are recommended.
Be sure not to use items with metal trim as it may cause
!
@
arcing
(sparking)
with oven wall or oven shelf, damaging
the cool<ware, the shelf or the oven.

crusting
or all-around
