WHAT’S NEW?
Sophisticated sensors. Sensors monitor moisture coming off the food and adjust cooking time as needed.
Safer options. More microwaves offer a child-safety lock feature. A code must be entered before the appliance will operate.
Microwave drawers. Manufacturers are producing built-in drawer models that are easier to reach.
OPERATING TIPS
Cleaning. Freshen and clean your unit by squeezing some lemon juice in water and microwaving for a few minutes. Then wipe down the sides.
Safety. Only choose containers approved for microwave use. Lightweight takeout containers or margarine tubs can melt. Some earthenware or clay dishes may not be safe.
Don’t overfill. Boiling soups or coffee can spill over.
