3.5 Utensil test
Never operate the microwave oven empty. The
only exception is the utensil test described
in the following section. Some certain non-
metal utensils may not be suitable for using in
microwave. If you are not sure whether your
utensil is suitable for microwave, you can perform
the following test.
1. Place the empty utensil to be tested into the
microwave oven together with a microwave-
compatible glass filled with 250 ml water.
2. Operate the microwave oven at max power for
1 minute.
3. Check carefully the temperature of the utensil
being tested. If it is warmed up, it is not suitable
for use in microwave.
4. Never exceed the operating time limit of 1
minute. If you notice arcing during 1 minute
of operation, stop the microwave. Utensils
causing arcing are not suitable for use in
microwave.
Following list is a general guide that would help you in selecting the right utensil.
