you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal
for the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm to the
touch when cooking or reheating.

1100 watts. In using recipes or package directions, check
food a minute or two before the minimum time and add
time accordingly.
ABOUT MICROWAvE COOkING
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside •
of dish.
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of
•
time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely
overcooked can smoke or ignite.
Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for
•
suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic
wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods
to cook evenly.
Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas
•
of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense,
thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
•
during cooking, if possible.
Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking
•
of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like
roasts must be turned over at least once.
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking
•
both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish
to the outside.
Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven
•
and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows
the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking
•
temperatures have been reached.
doneness signs include:
•
Food steams throughout, not just at edge. -
Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch. -
Poultry thigh joints move easily. -
Meat and poultry show no pinkness. -
Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. -
