HELPFUL TIPS
CAROUSEL ROTATION
If the Glass Carousel inside of your microwave oven makes noise during
cooking or does not seem to be rotating properly, stop the cooking process
immediately by pressing the STOP/CLEAR button and make sure that:
A) The Glass Carousel is properly aligned on the Carousel Wheel and Hub.
B) There is no excess food or debris lodged underneath the Glass Carousel.
SPLATTERING
Some foods when cooked in the microwave oven may splatter inside of the microwave
oven causing messes. It is recommended that you use a paper towel, wax paper or
microwave safe lid to loosely cover open dishes that may splatter. It is not recommended
that you use plastic wrap to cover foods while cooking in the microwave oven.
FOODS
•
Eggs:
Cooking eggs with yolk intact can cause eggs to explode. It's best to puncture
yolks before cooking. Never cook eggs inside of shell, or reheat whole, hardboiled eggs.
•
Nuts:
Do not cook dry nuts or seeds inside of the shell.
•
Potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages:
Puncture the skin to
allow steam to escape, or these foods could explode during cooking
•
Popcorn:
Only microwave popcorn that is especially packaged for
microwave oven cooking. Follow the directions on the packaging exactly.
Never exceed the maximum cooking time on packaging.
•
Baby Food:
Never heat baby food in its container. Transfer the baby food to a
microwave safe container before cooking. Check temperature before serving.
•
General:
NEVER use the microwave oven for deep fat frying
or for drying wood, gourds, herbs or wet paper.
MICROWAVE SAFE COOKWARE
The following cookware is safe for microwave oven cooking:
Microwave browning dish
— Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks,
chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.
Microwaveable plastic wrap
— Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some
steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
Paper towels and napkins
— Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb
excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may
contain metal and could ignite.
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes
— Use for heating or cooking.
Paper plates and cups
— Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use
recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.
Wax paper
— Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
Thermometers
— Use only those labeled "Microwave Safe" and follow all directions.
Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on
microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven.
