▯
Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli
with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the
dish and the tips toward the center.
▯
When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish
with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
▯
Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, sweet
potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their
skin pricked in several locations before cooking to
prevent them from bursting.
▯
For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole
vegetables halfway through the cook time.
▯
Most of the time, the denser the food, the longer the
required standing time. For example, a baked potato
should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish
of peas may be served immediately.
Cooking seafood in your microwave
Place fish 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 oven without food in the oven cavity;
this can damage the magnetron tube or glass 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.
