1.Most glass, glass ceramic, and heat resistant
glassware utensils are excellent. Those with
metal trim should not be used in a microwave oven.
2.Plastic dishes, cups, freezer bags, and plastic wraps
may be used in the microwave oven.
3.Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should
not be used in the microwave oven.
If the use of aluminum foil, skewers, or utensils
containing metal in the oven is specified in the
recipe, allow at least 2.5cm clearance
between the metal object and the interior
oven wall. If arcing (sparks) occurs, remove
immediately.
Notes:
• Care should be taken when removing utensils
or the glass turntable, as they may become
hot during cooking.
• Only use a thermometer that is designed or
recommended for use in the microwave oven.
• Ensure the turntable is in place when you operate
the oven.
