Microwave Cooking:
For best results while using your oven, please
note the following:
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator
will take longer to cook than the same foods
would if at room temperature.
Small pieces of foods will cook more quickly
than larger ones. Foods of similar size and
shape will cook more evenly when cooked
together. For more even cooking results,
reduce the power levels when cooking larger
pieces of food.
Foods that have more moisture will cook
more evenly
Operating Your Oven
While constant stiring is not necessary, if you
stir foods (casseroles, vegetables, etc) from
the outside to the center heat will distribute
more evenly and the foods will cook faster.
Place delicate areas of food toward the center
of the turntable tray
Arrange unevenly shaped foods with thicker
or fatter parts towards the outside of the
turntable tray.
To help cook food more evenly, some foods
may need to be turned over halfway through
cooking.
After food has been removed from the
microwave, cover the food with foil or a
casserole lid and let it stand to nish cooking.
The length of stand time will depend on the
density and surface area of the food item
you’re cooking.
Letting food stand will help the food nish
cooking in the center and avoid overcooking
the outer edges.
Foods, like sandwiches, that contain
prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to
placing them in the microwave. Wrapping
these foods will help prevent the food items
from drying out as they heat.

Care & Maintenance
Cleaning:
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior,
including accessories, should be cleaned
regularly.
WARNING
CAUTION:
For best performance and for safety reasons,
keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take
special care to keep the inner door panel and
oven free from food and grease build-up.
DO NOT use any abrasive cleaners on the
microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside
and out with a soft cloth and warm (not hot)
mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe
completely dry.
Wipe splatters immediately with a wet paper
towel, especially after cooking greasy foods
like chicken or bacon.
Clean your microwave oven weekly or more
often, if needed.
Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean.
Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to
the oven walls, causing the oven to work less
efciently.
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp,
clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh
detergents or abrasive cleaners.
To help loosen baked-on food particles or
liquids, heat 2-cups of water (add the juice of 1
lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh
smelling) in a 4-cup measuring glass at High
power for 5-minutes or until boiling. Let stand
in oven cavity for 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove the glass turntable tray from the
oven when cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To
prevent the glass turntable from breaking,
handle with care and do not put it in water
immediately after cooking. Wash the
turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in the
dishwasher.
Clean the outside surface of the micrwoave
with soap and a clean damp cloth. Dry with a
clean soft cloth. To prevent damage to the
operating parts of the oven, do not let water
