OK for Use

Racks and bakeware supplied with the oven, aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:

Never allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.

Always use the turntable.

Never allow contact with another metal object during cooking.

Do Not Use

Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non- approved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such as sandwich wrappers, staples and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the oven.

Inverter Microwave System

The Inverter Microwave System is proven technology that delivers a constant stream of microwave power – true high, medium and low power.

Typically, microwave ovens operate on HIGH power only. For example, to achieve a 50% power level (“medium”) in a typical microwave oven, the oven operates 50% of the time at HIGH power and 50% of the time OFF.

In contrast, microwave ovens utilizing the Inverter Microwave System deliver the selected power level continuously. This constant stream of microwave power helps to minimize overcooking of foods and messy food spatters.

Cooking Power

Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name or number. For example, 70%=7=Medium-High.
