Cooking seafood in your microwave
Place fish on a microwave–safe roasting rack in a
microwave–safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it
flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a
lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less
steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it for
doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking
longer.

Cleaning Guide
▯
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 front frame free of
food and grease build–up.
▯
Never use abrasive scouring powder or pads on the
microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out
with a soft cloth and and warm (not hot) mild detergent
solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.
▯
Wipe spatters 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.
▯
Never operate the microwave oven without food in the
oven cavity, unless pre-heating with an Auto Chef
mode; this can damage the magnetron tube or
ceramic tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water
standing inside the oven when it is not in use to
prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
