@ALWAYS cook food for the minimum recommended cooking time. If necessary, touch ADD MINUTE while the oven is operating or after it has completed the cooking cycle (see page 33 for more information). Then check for doneness to avoid overcooking the food.

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

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