help assure good cooking results.

Wonder if it’s microwave safe? Put
it to the test described on page 3.
●
Never use tight-sealing plastic
covers-they can prevent steam
from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
● Match the amount of food to
the size of the
contiiner.
Fill
containers at least half full for best
results.
● Be sure the outside of the
cooking container and the inside
of the microwave oven are dry
before placing food in the oven.
Beads of moisture turning into
steam can mislead the sensor.
● Stir or
rotite
some foods after
a beeping signal, if required. See
Automatic Cooking Control Guide
and
recip
on the following pages.
Use microwave-safe casseroles or
bowls for entrees and vegetables.
Cover with lids that fit. If lids are
not available, use plastic wrap or
wax paper. Plastic wrap should be
vented over food to allow for
escaping steam. Seal by pressing
plastic wrap firmly around edges.
For frozen entrees in paperboard
trays, remove tray from box but do
not remove film over tray. Thick
entrees may take longer to
cook—
see guide on page 20.
For frozen foods in metal trays,
remove foil covering and baked
goods, reinsert tray into box and
close ends of box.
Slit plastic pouches 1 inch as shown
above. Break food up thoroughly
after oven signals.
