Important things to remember to get the BEST COOKING RESULTS:

. ALWAYS cook food for the minimum recommended cooking time. If necessary, add time in one or two minute periods, then check for doneness to avoid overcooking the food.

l Stir, turn or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for most even doneness with all recipes.

. If a glass cover is not available, use waxpaper, paper towels or microwave approved plastic wrap. Turn back corner to vent steam during cooking.

l When using microwave recipes from cookbooks or sources other than “Microwave Cooking Recipes and Tables”, slightly longer cooking times will be needed. For example, add 1 to 2 minutes to a 5 minutes cooking time.

l Always cook food with Glass Tray in place.
