HELPFUL TIPS
CAROUSEL ROTATION
If the Glass Carousel inside of your microwave oven makes noise during
cooking or does not seem to be rotating properly, stop the cooking process
immediately by pressing the PAUSE/CANCEL button and make sure that:
A) The Glass Carousel is properly aligned on the Carousel Wheel and Hub.
B) There is no excess food or debris lodged underneath the Glass Carousel.
SPLATTERING
Some foods may splatter inside of the microwave when cooked in the microwave
oven. It is recommended that you use a paper towel, wax paper or microwave-
safe lid to loosely cover open dishes that may splatter. It is not recommended that
you use plastic wrap to cover foods while cooking in the microwave oven.
FOODS
•
Eggs: Cooking eggs with yolk intact can cause eggs to explode. It's best to puncture
yolks before cooking. Never cook eggs inside of shell, or reheat whole, hardboiled eggs.
•
Nuts: Do not cook dry nuts or seeds inside of the shell.
•
Potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages: Puncture the skin to
allow steam to escape, or these foods could explode during cooking
•
Popcorn: Only use microwave popcorn that is especially packaged
for microwave oven cooking. Follow the directions on the packaging
exactly. Never exceed the maximum cooking time on packaging.
•
Baby Food: Never heat baby food in its container. Transfer the baby food to a
microwave safe container before cooking. Check temperature before serving.
•
General: NEVER use the microwave oven for deep fat frying
or for drying wood, gourds, herbs or wet paper.
