Cooking Instructions
COOKWARE
1.
2.Do not use metal ware, ceramics trimmed with gold or silver, or any container with a metal content.
3.If “arcing” should occur, check the cookware carefully again for metal.
4.You may use ordinary glassware, chinaware,
5.You can cook steamed vegetables in special “see- through” wrapping film, such as Saran Wrap, or wax paper. Do not cook in plastic bags.
CAUTION
Do not use METAL UTENSILS in this oven.
DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS
1.If you try to completely defrost frozen foods in the microwave oven, uneven defrosting may occur due to the differences in the thickness and shape of the food. Drip may also result, and sometimes a part of the food cooks although other parts still remain frozen. In actual usage of frozen foods, you should not normally defrost them 100%. 70% defrosting in the microwave oven is ideal and helpful for the next cooking operation.
2.To defrost evenly, turn over or rearrange the food during defrosting.
3.To defrost fatty meat, heat it in the microwave oven for a short time and leave it to stand at room temperature, or heat it intermittently until defrosted.
4.When you defrost a whole chicken, or any frozen food of irregular shape, wrap legs or thin parts with aluminum foil. Otherwise thin parts will be defrosted faster and sometimes cooked before other parts have properly defrosted. For big pieces of meat, wrap the sides with aluminum foil so that they will be uniformly thawed by vertical microwaves only.
5.Ice should be removed during defrosting.

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BEST RESULTS
1.When determining heating time for particular foods, always select minimum time and check occasionally during cooking for progress. The microwave oven cooks so quickly, therefore it is easy to overcook food.
2.Be careful of the cooking time for small quantities of foods, or foods with low water content. They may burn if cooked too long.
3.Do not use the oven for drying kitchen towels or napkins. They may burn if heated too long.
4.Do not try to boil eggs in the oven.
5.When you cook an egg be sure to pierce the yolk membrane prior to placing into the oven to prevent the egg bursting.
6.To achieve more even cooking result, give the dish a
