cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Cook Time and Delay Start allow the oven(s) to be set to turn on
at a certain time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut
off automatically. Delay Start should not be used for food such as
breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.

Combo Microwave Use
A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves that reflect off the
metal floor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the turntable and
appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to
and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules in the food,
causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks
the food.
■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or
allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate
microwave oven when it is empty.
■ The turntable must be in place and correct side up when
microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or
broken. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for ordering
information.
■ Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in
microwave oven.
■ Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including
brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in
microwave oven.
■ Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it
does not absorb microwaves.
■ Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from
microwave oven.
■ Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended
cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand
for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
■ Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover
poached eggs and allow a standing time.
Food Characteristics
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting
temperature, composition, and density of the food affect cooking
results.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed.
Check for doneness and add small increments of time if
necessary.
Size and Shape
Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces,
and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly
shaped food.
