 Switch places halfway through the cooking time.
 Make sure the shelf is positioned properly inside the microwave to prevent
damage to the oven from arcing.
 Do not use a microwave browning dish on the shelf. The shelf could overheat.
 Do not use the oven with the shelf on the microwave floor. This could damage
the microwave.
 Use potholders when handling the shelf. It may be hot.
 Do not use the shelf when cooking popcorn.
ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron
cycling on and off.
Condensation is normal during cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food
will affect the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven. Generally, covered
foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Do not block the
ventilation openings.
When using recipes or package directions, check the food one or two minutes
before the minimum time to avoid overcooking. If it is not done, add time
accordingly.
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 that is severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
Cover foods while cooking. Check a recipe or cookbook for suggestions,

such as paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap, or a lid. Covers
prevent spattering and help foods cook evenly.
 Use small flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield any thin areas of meat or
poultry and prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked
thoroughly.
 Stir foods from 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.
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking, moving them

both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
 Add standing time. Remove food from the oven and stir, if possible.
Covered standing time allows the food to finish cooking and avoids
overcooking.
Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures
