1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.

2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food

severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.

3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

4. Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers.

Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.

5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the

center of the dish to the outside.

If the oven fails to operate:
