[. . . ] Operating the oven with the door open could result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to tamper with the door mechanism. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. GB Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces. [. . . ] Some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking. For example, fish cooks so quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while still slightly frozen. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the cooking time in some recipes, depending on the starting temperature of the foods. NOTE: Air from the vent may become warm during cooking. Browning: There are a few foods which are not cooked long enough in the microwave oven to brown and may need additional colour. Coatings such as paprika, and browning agents such as Worcestershire sauce may be used on chops, meat patties or chicken pieces. Roasts, poultry or ham, cooked for 10-15 minutes or longer, will brown without extra additives. GB Cleaning and Care BE SURE THE OVEN IS TURNED OFF BEFORE CLEANING. Keep the oven interior surfaces clean and dry. INTERIOR WALLS Remove any crumbs and food remains between the door and oven using a damp cloth.

Be careful when removing your food the container will be hot! 12 Heating or Reheating Guide To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a microwavable container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or vented plastic wrap. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.
