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 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.) ▯ 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. Microwave programs You can prepare food very easily using the various programs. You select a program and enter the weight or amount of your food. The program then applies the most suitable settings. Note: The display will give you useful instructions for each of the microwave programs. Press the INFO button whenever it lights up, and read and follow the displayed instructions for best cooking results. Information on the settings ▯ The cooking result depends on the quality of the food and the type of cookware. For an optimal cooking result, use food that is in good condition and chilled meat only. For frozen food, use food straight out of the freezer only. ▯ For some dishes, you will be required to enter the weight or amount. The appliance will then apply the time and temperature settings for you. It is not possible to set weights or amounts outside of the intended range. ▯ Information is provided, e.g. on cookware, shelf position or the addition of liquid when cooking meat. Some food requires turning or stirring, etc. during cooking. This is shown in the display shortly after operation starts. An audible signal will remind you at the right time.
