walls, ceiling or floor.
■
Always use the turntable.
■
Never allow contact with another metal object during
cooking.
Do Not Use
Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-

Inverter Microwave System
The Inverter Microwave System is proven technology that
delivers a constant stream of microwave power – true high,
medium and low power.
Typically, microwave ovens operate on HIGH power only. For
example, to achieve a 50% power level (“medium”) in a typical
microwave oven, the oven operates 50% of the time at HIGH
power and 50% of the time OFF.
In contrast, microwave ovens utilizing the Inverter Microwave
System deliver the selected power level continuously. This
constant stream of microwave power helps to minimize
overcooking of foods and messy food spatters.
Cooking Power
Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking
power to use by percent, name or number. For example,
70%=7=Medium-High.
Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested
cooking power of specific foods.
