Metal containers should not be used in a
microwave oven. There are, however, some excep-
tions. If you have purchased food which is prepack-
aged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the
instructions on the package. When using aluminum
foil containers, cooking times may be longer
because microwaves will only penetrate the top of
the food.
If you use aluminum containers without package
instructions, follow these guidelines:
• Place the container in a glass bowl and add some
water so that it covers the bottom of the container,
not more than _ in. (6.35 mm) high. This ensures
even heating of the container bottom.
• Always
remove the lid to avoid damage to the oven.
* Use only undamaged containers.
* Do not use containers taller than _ in. (19 mm).
* Container
must be at least half filled.
* To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum _ in.
(6.35 mm) between the aluminum container and the
walls of the oven and also between two aluminum
containers.
* Always place the container on the turntable.
. Reheating
food in aluminum foil containers usually
takes up to double the time compared to reheating in
plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The time
'
when food is ready will vary depending upon the
type of container you use.
,, Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so
that heat is spread evenly throughout
container.
* Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed
glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to
the oven.
* Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize
objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep
the oven at the high temperature
needed for
sterilization.
Use EASY SIMMER to prepare food such as rice,
pasta, soups, and vegetables. All you do is set a
EASY SIMMER time and your oven will bring your
food to a boil and then simmer it for the time you
specify.
1. Place the food in the oven and shut the door.
2. TOUCH FIRST SCREEN pad, TURN to EASY
SIMMER and PRESS.
3. TURN to select category
PRESS for Next Screen.
NOTES:
• This function uses a sensor, which needs
2½ minutes to warm up after the oven is first
connected or after a power failure. If you start
EASY SIMMER during the warm-up, microwave
energy will not be turned on until the sensor is
warm.
• When cooking vegetables, use a minimum of
½ cup (125 mL)of water.
• For best results, cover dish with a lid that comes
with the dish or a dinner plate.
