WARNING
Only use the rack that is supplied with your microwave oven.
Use of any other rack can result in poor cooking performance and/or
arcing and may damage your oven.
Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces).
Never allow metal to touch walls or door.
This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.
This is the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on
and off.
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish.
Use hot pads to remove food after cooking.
Dish may not be microwave safe.
Standing time means that food should be covered for additional time after
cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish.
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer's
guidelines or use the preprogrammed Popcorn pad.
Do not use regular paper bags. Use the listening test by stopping the
oven as soon as the popping slows to a pop every one or two seconds. Do
not try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use special microwave
poppers. When using a popper, be sure to follow manufacturer's directions.
Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.
Steam is normally produced during cooking.
The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the top vent.
Use utensils with short sides to allow the hot air to surround the top of
your food for browning.
Large cuts of meat should be turned about halfway through the total
cooking time.
Place meat fat side down first, then fat side up for the final portion of
cooking time. This allows for even cooking and nicely browned fat for
presentation.
