SET UP & USE
COOKING TECHNIQUES
Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you
keep these considerations in mind:
STIRRING
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the
outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the
center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.
ARRANGEMENT
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts
toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent
overcooking, place delicate areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable
SHIELDING
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminium foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding
include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only
small amounts of aluminium foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.
TURNING
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is
especially important with large foods such as roasts.
STANDING
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes
after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes and
whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking
the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when
cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir
well at removal and test the temperature before serving.
ADDING MOISTURE
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content
should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of
water to dry food to help it cook.

Page 18
1. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven use only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or
detergents and apply with a sponge or soft cloth.
2. Turn off the oven and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
3. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere
to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven
gets very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain,
streak or dull the door surface.
4. The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to
the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to sweep into the
ventilation openings.
5. Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or
splatters.
6. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth.
When cleaning the control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from
accidentally turning on.
7. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with
a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high
humidity conditions, this is normal.
8. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in
warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
9. The roller ring and oven oor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise.
