Cooking Guidelines Covering Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking.
Aluminum Foil and Metal Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the oven. Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the oven. OK for Use Racks and bakeware supplied with the oven (on some models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines: ■ Do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.
MANUAL COOKING Add 30 Seconds The ADD 30 SEC. control automatically starts the oven at 100% power for 30 seconds, and adds 30 seconds of cook time, up to 10 minutes, with each additional touch of the control.
