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. Paper napkins, towels, plates, cups, cartons and cardboard can be used in the microwave
oven. Do not use recycled paper products since they may contain impurities which may cause
sparks and / or fires when used in cooking.
3. Plastic dishes, cups, freezer bags, and plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven.
Follow the manufacturers instructions or the information given in a microwave cookbook
when using plastics in the microwave oven.
4. Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven.
If the use of aluminium foil, skewers, or utensils containing metal in the oven is specified in
the recipe, allow at least 2.5 cm 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.
