Built-In Microwave Oven Use

A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves that reflect
off the metal floor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the
turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves
are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water
molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing
friction and heat which cooks the food.
■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on
or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate
microwave oven when it is empty.
■ The turntable must be in place and correct side up when
microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped
or broken. See "Assistance or Service" section to reorder.
■ Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in
microwave oven.
■ Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including
brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in
microwave oven.
■ Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because
it does not absorb microwaves.
■ Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers
from microwave oven.
■ Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended
cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes
stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
■ Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell.
Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst.
Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.

Wi-Fi Connectivity
Your oven has built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, but for it to work,
you will have to connect it to your home wireless network.
For information about setting up the connectivity, turning it on
and off, receiving important notifications and taking advantage
of available features, refer to the Oven Wi-Fi Connected Quick
Start Guide that came with your oven.
Once the setup process has been completed for the Wi-Fi,
you will have access to features that will give you new freedom
in cooking. Your available features may vary depending on
firmware updates.

Food Characteristics

When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape,
starting temperature, composition, and density of the food
affect cooking results.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time
needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of time
if necessary.
Size and Shape
Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger
pieces, and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than
irregularly shaped food.
Starting Temperature
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated
foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.
Composition and Density
Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and
will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as
meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same
size of a light, porous food, such as cake.
