Getting Started

IMPORTANT– Please Read and Follow

•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 right to left.

•Add standing time. Remove food from Built-in Microwave Hood and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to fin- ish cooking without overcooking.

•Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking tempera- tures 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.
