SETTING UP YOUR OVEN
You can see the Installation Manual (included in your box) to install and set up your microwave.
INSTALLING THE TURNTABLE
1. Place the turntable ring in the round depression in the bottom of the microwave oven so that
it turns freely.
2. Place the glass turntable (flat side up) on the turntable ring so that the hub engages the
turntable shaft in the bottom of the oven. The glass turntable should not turn freely when it
is correctly installed.
USING YOUR MICROWAVE
(Tips for the best results)
Storage Temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods would at room
temperature.
Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly
when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of
food.
Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more
evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.
Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will
help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts
toward the outside of the turntable tray.
Let the food stand
After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to
finish cooking. This will help the food finish in the center and avoids overcooking the out edges. The
length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.
