Cooking Instructions (continued)
General Tips
EN
• Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter
foods. Foods with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power
level to avoid becoming tough.
• Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking
time. When using a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and
check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking.
• Foods with a non-porous skin or shell, such as potatoes, eggs, or hot
dogs, should be pierced to prevent bursting.
• Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended. Fat and oil can
suddenly boil over and cause severe burns.
• Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly
inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in
mind to avoid burns.
• Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because
all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating
process.
• Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat is often
transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing
food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same.
General Tips for the Heater Features

prepared in the Toast & Bake Microwave Oven. Please follow the

recommended in this oven.

of the crumb tray.
