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—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 can contain metal flecks
which may 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
″
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 styrofoam 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—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.
