Suggestions for best results
To help you achieve the best possible results from your 

microwave oven, read the following suggestions below:

▯

Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take 

longer to cook than the same foods would at room 

temperature.

▯

Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. 

Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly 

when cooked together. For more even results, reduce 

the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.

▯

Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because 

microwave energy heats water molecules very 

efficiently.
