Cookware and Dinnerware Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, then test before using. Material Recommendations Aluminum Foil, Metal See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section. Browning Dish Bottom must be at least /16" (5 mm) above the turntable.
Cook Time Set Cook time may be set in the following increments, in minutes and seconds: Increment Time Setting 0:05 0:05-1:00 0:15 1:15-3:00 0:30 3:30-6:00 1:00 7:00-30:00 5:00 35:00-90:00 Meal Prep Cook Times and cooking power have been preset for certain microwavable foods. Use the following chart as a guide. Food No. Canned Vegetables 1 1 to 4 cups (250 mL to 1 L): Place in microwave-safe container. Cover with plastic wrap and vent. Stir and let stand 2-3 minutes after cooking.
Meal Prep Reheat Times and cooking power have been preset for reheating specific food types. Use the following chart as a guide. Food No. Quantity/Instructions Baked Goods 1 1 to 6 pieces, 2 oz (57 g) each:* Place on paper towel. Beverage 2 1 or 2 cups, 8 oz (250 mL) each: Do not cover. The diameter of the cup’s opening will affect how the liquid heats. Beverages in cups with smaller openings may heat faster.
Sensor Cooking A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from the food as it heats and adjusts the cook time accordingly. Many sensor cycles require the covering of foods. Microwavesafe containers or steamers with loose-fitting lids are recommended. The loose-fitting lid allows enough steam to escape to be detected by the sensor. When covering foods with plastic wrap, be sure to leave a large enough vent opening to allow the steam to escape.

Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested unless otherwise noted.
