General microwave cooking guide

• Do not use metal containers with Microwave mode. Always put food containers on the turntable
• It is recommended to cover the food for best results
• After cooking is complete, let the food settle in its own steam

Reheating

• Do not reheat large-sized foods such as joints of meat, which easily overcook
• It is safer to reheat foods at lower power levels
• Stir well or turn over during and after cooking
• Recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes
• Use caution for liquids or baby foods. Stir well before, during, and after cooking with a plastic spoon or glass stirring stick to prevent eruptive boiling and scalding. Keep them inside the oven during the standing time. Allow a longer reheating time than other food types

Defrost

Put frozen food in a microwave-safe container without a cover. Turn over during defrosting, and drain off liquid and remove giblets after defrosting.

For faster defrosting, cut the food into small pieces, and wrap them with aluminum foil. When the outer surface of the frozen foods begins to melt, stop defrosting and let it stand for awhile. Do not change the default power level (180 W) for defrosting.

Grilling guide

The grill-heating elements are located on the ceiling of the cooking chamber. These elements operate only when the door is closed and the turntable is rotating.

When grilling food, put the food on the high rack unless otherwise instructed. Preheat the grill for 2-3 minutes with Grill mode. When grilling is completed, use oven gloves to take out the food.

• Cook all fresh vegetables using full microwave power (900 W)
