TURNING
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy.
This is especially important when cooking large foods such as roasts.
STANDING
Foods cooked in a microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after heating stops.
Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially for 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.
When heating baby food, stir well after removing from microwave and test 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.
Exterior
The outside surface is precoated steel and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft
cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.
Door
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if
wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the
door surface.
Touch Control Panel
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before
cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort
of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills
or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH
CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in the oven cavity. It is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the
waveguide cover clean to assure good oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the
