MICROWAVE COOKING GUIDE
1. Place the food in a microwave approved cooking utensil and place it centrally on the glass tray. Placing
a heavy load on the perimeter of the glass tray could cause the glass tray to dislodge from the rotating
base. Arrange the food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of the cooking utensil.
2. Do not place food directly on the glass tray unless the food is self contained and will not spill. When
cooking more than one item, arrange the food so that the items are evenly spaced.
3. Watch the cooking time. Cook for the minimum time indicated in the recipe and add more as needed.
Food which is severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
4. Cover foods while cooking to prevent spattering and to help the food cook evenly.
5. Turn foods over once during microwave cooking to speed up the cooking of foods such as chicken and
burgers. Large items such as roasts must be turned over at least once.
6. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from the top to the bottom of the dish
and from the center of the dish to the outside of the dish.
7. Do not operate the oven without the rotating base and tray in position.
