Opening appliance door during operation Opening the appliance door during operation will interrupt the current mode. Close the appliance door and then touch Start/Enter to resume operation. + 30 sec Use the +30 sec key to quick start your microwave at the highest power level. You can touch the key repeatedly to increase the microwave time in steps of 30 seconds. Touching this key during microwave operation will add 30 seconds to the remaining microwave time. Cancel operation Touch Clear/Off to cancel the active oven mode. The appliance turns off and the clock is displayed. The cooling fans may continue to run for awhile and then switch off automatically. Suggestions for best results To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below: ▯ Storage temperature Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook. ▯ 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 vegetable 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.) ▯ Turning 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. ▯ Placing food Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray. ▯ Arranging food Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray. ▯ Letting 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 cooking in the center and avoids overcooking the outer edges. The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items. ▯ Wrapping foods Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped in paper towels or wax paper prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items from drying out while heating. 14
