or macaroni and cheese, may need more time.
Rotate container in oven then add more time. Cover
with foil during first half of cooking time if food
browns too quickly.

Microwave mode. Follow microwave instructions
on package.

Oversize frozen cooked foods, i.e. entrees and

•
Homemade frozen casseroles are cooked in the
Lower Oven Bake mode.
•
Small size frozen combination meals, i.e. less than
10 oz., are best cooked in the Microwave mode.
