ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside
of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time
indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked
can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for
suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap
or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook
evenly.
• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas
of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking befi__redense, thick
areas are cooked thoroughly.
• Stir fi__odsfrom outside to center of dish once or twice during
cooking, if possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking
of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like
roasts must be turned over at least once.
Should there be any interference caused by the Microwave
Drawer to your radio or TV, check that the Microwave Drawer
is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far
away fi'om the drawer as feasible or check position and signal
of receiving antenna.

not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

both fi'om top to bottom and from right to left.
• Add standing time. Remove food from Microwave Drawer
