MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Metal containers should not be used in a microwave
oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you
have purchased food which is prepackaged in an
aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on
the package. When using aluminum foil containers,
cooking times may be longer because microwaves will
only penetrate the exposed top of the food and not the
bottom or the sides. If you use aluminum containers
without package instructions, follow these guidelines:
aluminum foil container in a glass bowl
and add some Water so that it covers the bottom of
the container, but not more than 1/4 in. (.64 cm) deep.
This ensures even heating of the container bottom.

the oven.

wing tips and leg ends of poultry, with small pieces of

takes up to double the time compared to reheating in
plastic, glass, china, or paper containers.
The time when food is ready will vary depending upon
the type of container you use.

Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety
of food preparation options: microwave cooking,
convection cooking, and combination cooking.
Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency
radio waves. The movement of the microwaves
through the food generates heat and cooks most
foods faster than regular methods, while retaining their
natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats
food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the
oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly
convenient because less time is spent in food
preparation.
Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air
around the food, creating even browning and sealed-in
surfaces.
combines microwave energy
with convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while
browning and crisping to perfection.
You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking,
or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset
the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns
off automatically.
The following guide shows at a glance the difference
between microwave, convection, and combination
cooking.

To test cookware before using, follow these steps:
1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup
and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is

For best results, some recipes call for one Power
Level for a certain length of time, and another Power
Level for another length of time. Your oven can be set
