GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Testing Your Dinnerware or Cookware
Operating Safety Precautions
Electrical Connection
Test dinnerware or cookware before using.
To
test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven with a
cup of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook power
for one minute.
If the dish gets hot, do not use it.
Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware,
etc.) absorb microwave energy, becoming too hot to
handle and slowing cooking times. Cooking in metal
containers not designed for microwave use could
damage the oven, as could containers with hidden
metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze
or trim).
• Never
lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it
when the door is open.
• Use hot pads.
Microwave energy does not heat
containers, but the heat from the food can make the
container hot.
• Do not
use newspaper or other printed paper
in the oven.
• Do not
dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,
gourds, or clothes in the oven.
• Do not
start a microwave oven when it is empty.
Product life may be shortened. If you practice
programming the oven,
place
a container of water
in the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look
wavy after the oven has been running for a while.
• Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin
wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it
allows microwaves to pass through it.
• Do not operate the microwave oven unless the
glass turntable is securely in place and can move
freely. The turntable can move in either direction.
Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the
oven. Handle your turntable with care when
removing it from the oven to avoid possibly breaking
it. If your turntable cracks or breaks, contact your
dealer for a replacement.
• When you use a browning dish,
the browning dish
bottom must be at least 3/16 in. (0.5 cm) above the
turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the
browning dish.
• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the
shell.
Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them
to burst, and possibly damage the oven.
Slice
hard-
boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases, poached
eggs have been known to explode.
Cover
poached
eggs and
allow
a standing time of one minute
before cutting into them.
• For best results, stir any liquid several times
during heating or reheating.
Liquids heated in
certain containers (especially containers shaped like
cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid may
splash out with a loud noise during or after heating
or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea
bags, etc.). This can harm the oven.
• Microwaves
may not reach the center of a roast.
The heat spreads to the center from the outer,
cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking. This
is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for
example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for a while
after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the
cooking time.
• Do not deep fry in the oven.
Microwavable
utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain
appropriate deep-frying temperatures.
• Do not overcook potatoes.
At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be
slightly firm because they will continue cooking
during standing time.
After microwaving, let
potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish
cooking while standing.
If your electric power line or outlet voltage
is less
than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer.
Have a qualified electrician check your electrical
system.
