WARNING!
■ Place food or microwavable container
directly on the clear glass tray to cook
your food.
■ Use of the non-stick metal tray during
microwave cooking will result in inferior
cooking performance.
■ If you are not
sure if a dish is
microwave-safe,
use this test: Place
in the oven both
the dish you are
testing and a
glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup
of water
³
set the measuring cup either
in or next to the dish. Microwave 30-45
seconds at high. If the dish heats, it
should not be used for microwaving.
If the dish remains cool and only the
water in the cup heats, then the dish is
microwave-safe.
■ Cookware may become hot because of
heat transferred from the heated food.
Oven mitts may be needed to handle the
cookware.
■ Do not use recycled paper products.
Recycled paper towels, napkins and
waxed paper may contain metal flecks
which could cause arcing or ignite. Paper
products containing nylon or nylon
filaments should be avoided, as they may
also ignite.
■ Use foil only as directed in this manual.
When using foil in the oven, keep the foil
at least 1
s
away from the sides of the
oven.
■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
■ If you use a meat thermometer while
cooking, make sure it is safe for use in
microwave ovens.
■ Some foam trays (like those that meat
is packaged on) have a thin strip of
metal embedded in the bottom. When
microwaved, the metal can burn the floor
of the oven or ignite a paper towel.
■ Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic
wrap can be used to cover dishes in
order to retain moisture and prevent
spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap
so steam can escape.
■
Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use.
■ “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly
closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced
or vented as directed by package. If
they are not, plastic could burst during
or immediately after cooking, possibly
resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage
containers should be at least partially
uncovered because they form a tight
seal. When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove
covering carefully and direct steam away
from hands and face.
■
Plastic cookware
³
Plastic cookware
designed for microwave cooking is very
useful, but should be used carefully.
Even microwave-safe plastic may not
be as tolerant of overcooking conditions
as are glass or ceramic materials and
may soften or char if subjected to
short periods of overcooking. In longer
exposures to overcooking, the food and
cookware could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
1. Use microwave-safe plastics only
and use them in strict compliance
with the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations.
2. Do not microwave empty containers.
3. Do not permit children to use plastic
cookware without complete supervision.
Microwave-
safe
cookware
The turntable must always
be in place when using the
oven.
The clear glass tray should
always be in place when
microwaving .
Make sure to use suitable cookware during microwave cooking. Most glass casseroles,
cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not
have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled
“suitable for microwaving.”
