REHEAT AND COOK

CONTAINERS AND COVERS

Containers and Covers

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good cooking results.

•Always use microwave-safe containers and cover

them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Wonder if

it's microwave-safe? Put it to the test described in the Microwaving Tips section.

•Never use tight-sealing plastic covers--they

can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

Match the amount of food to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.

Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

Stir or rotate some foods after a beeping signal, if required. See the Sensor Cooking Control

Guide section.

•Do not open oven door during cycle. When oven signals and countdown time is displayed, door may be opened for stirring, turning or rotating food. To resume cooking, close door and touch START.

•Match the amount of food to the size of container. Fill containers at least 1/2 full.

•Be sure outside of container and inside of oven are dry.

•After completion of Cook cycle, if food needs additional cooking, return food to oven and use Micro Cook to finish cooking.
