7 continued on next page Metal floor Magnetron Oven cavity Glass turntable How your micr owave oven works Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks the food. Microwaves are like TV waves or light waves.
8 G etting to Know Y our Micr owave Oven Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does not absorb the energy. Microwaves do heat the CRISPWARE* Crisper Pan, however.
9 G etting to Know Y our Micr owave Oven • If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax paper or microwave-approved paper towels or plastic wrap. Turn back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking. For the best cooking results • Always cook food for the shortest cooking time recommended.
10 G etting to Know Y our Micr owave Oven T esting your dinnerwar e or cookware Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven with a cup of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook power for one minute. If the dish gets hot and water stays cool, do not use it.
11 G etting to Know Y our Micr owave Oven Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but heat from the food can make the container hot. NOTE: Heat from the broil element will cause container and oven parts to become hot. Also, the Crisper Pan always becomes very hot when used.
12 G etting to Know Y our Microwave Oven Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it allows microwaves to pass through it. Do not operate the microwave oven unless the glass turntable is securely in place and can rotate freely.

50 Cooking tips Amount of food • If you increase o r decrease the amount of food you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a little more than half the original cooking time. Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in small increments.
51 Arranging food For best results, distribute food evenly on the plate. You can do this in several ways: • If you are cooking several items of the same food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking.
52 Q uestions and Answers ANSWERS No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the turntable. You can use a grid only if grid is supplied with your microwave oven. Use of any grid not sup- plied with the microwave oven can result in poor cooking performance and/or arcing.
53 ANSWERS Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer’s guidelines or use the preprogrammed Popcorn pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” by stopping the oven when the popping slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2 seconds.
