MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS Microwave Cooking Tips Microwave Cookware Guide Use Do Not Use OVENPROOF GLASS (treated for high intensity heat): utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim. METAL CONTAINERS: Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil trays. Metal containers can cause arcing, which can damage the microwave oven.
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS 13 Microwave-Safe Cookware Never use metal or metal trimmed cookware when using microwave function Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal object in the oven and cause arcing, an alarming phenomenon that resembles lightning. Most heat resistant non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your oven. However, some may contain materials that render it unsuitable as microwave cookware.
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS Density of Food Light, porous food such as cakes and breads cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods such as roasts and casseroles. You must take care when microwaving porous food so that the outer edges do not become dry and brittle. Stirring Height of Food Stirring is one of the most important of all microwaving techniques. In conventional cooking, food is stirred for the purpose of blending. Microwaved food, however, is stirred in order to spread and redistribute heat.
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS 15 Precautions OPERATION • Place the front surface of the door three inches or more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven during normal use. This section introduces you to the basics you need to know to operate the microwave oven. Please read this information before using the oven. • To program the oven, make sure you touch the center of each pad firmly since the areas between the pads will not activate the oven.
OPERATION Interrupting Cooking More / Less Stop the oven during a cycle by opening the door. The oven stops heating and the fan stops, but the light stays on. To restart cooking, close the door and touch START. By using the – or + key, manual cook settings can be adjusted to cook food for a longer or shorter time.

Interior Food spatters or spilled liquids stick to oven walls and between the seal and door surfaces. Although the oven interior has an antibacterial coating, it is best to wipe up spillovers with a damp cloth right away.
TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING Why do I see light reflection around the outer case?
