Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT: Do not overcook food; fire could result. Proper cooking depends on selecting the correct power level and cooking time for the
amount of food in the oven. Smaller portions of food that are cooked too long may catch fire. Always have food in the microwave oven when
it is on to absorb the microwave energy. When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you can hear the magnetron cycling on and off.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Do not block
oven vents. This oven is rated for 600 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. When preparing foods, check food 1-2 minutes before the
minimum time and add time accordingly.
FOOD ITEM OR PROCESS
• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, whole
squash, hot dogs and sausages so that
steam can escape.
