GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
For the best cooking results
• Always cook food for the shortest cook-
ing time recommended. Check to see
how the food is cooking. If needed, touch
ADD MINUTE while the oven is operating
or after the cooking cycle is over (see the
“Using ADD MINUTE” section).
• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food
being cooked about halfway through the
cooking time for all recipes. This will help
make sure the food is evenly cooked.
Radio interference
Using your microwave oven may cause
interference to your radio, TV, or similar
equipment. When there is interference,
you can reduce it or remove it by:
• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of
the oven.
• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the
radio or television.
Testing your microwave oven
To test the oven put about 1 cup (250mL) of
cold water in a glass container
in the oven. Close the door.
Make sure it latches. Follow
the directions in the “Cooking
at high cook power” section
to set the oven to cook for 2 minutes. When
the time is up, the water should be heated.
• Moving the radio/TV away from the
microwave oven.
• Plugging the microwave oven into a
different outlet so that the microwave
oven and radio/TV are on different
branch circuits.
• If you do not have a cover for a dish, use
wax paper, or microwave-approved paper
towels or plastic wrap. Remember to turn
back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent
steam during cooking.
