Installing the turntable
1 Place the turntable ring in the round depression in the bottom of the microwave oven so that it turns freely.
2 Place the glass turntable (flat side up) on the turntable ring so that the hub engages the turntable shaft in the
bottom of the oven. The glass turntable should not turn freely when it is correctly installed.
Using your microwave
Tips for the best results
Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods would at room temperature.
Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked
together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.
Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This
will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.
Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to
expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the
outside of the turntable tray.
Let the food stand
After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish
cooking. This will help the food finish in the center and avoids overcooking the out edges. The length of stand time
depends on the density and surface area of the food items.
