The
extension
cord
must
be
a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and the
longer cord should be arranged so that it
will not drape over the counter top or
table top where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
Notes:
If you have any questions about the grounding
or electrical instructions, consult a qualified
electrician or service person.
Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can
accept any liability for damage to the oven or
personal injury resulting from failure to observe
the electrical connection procedures.
Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the
microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that
the microwave oven is on a different circuit,
relocate the radio or TV as far away from the
oven as feasible or check position and signal of
receiving antenna.
This section lists which utensils can be used in
the microwave, which ones have limited use for
short periods, and which ones should not be
used in the microwave.
RECOMMENDED
Microwave browning dish
— Use to brown
the exterior of small items such as steaks,
chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions
provided with your browning dish.
Microwaveable plastic wrap
— Use to retain
steam. Leave a small opening for some steam
to escape and avoid placing it directly on the
food.
Paper towels and napkins
— Use for
short-term heating and covering; these absorb
excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not
use recycled paper towels, which may contain
metal and could ignite.
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes
— Use for heating or cooking.
Paper plates and cups
— Use for short-term
heating at low temperatures. Do not use
recycled paper, which may contain metal and
could ignite.
Wax paper
— Use as a cover to prevent
spattering.
Thermometers
— Use only those labeled
"Microwave Safe" and follow all directions.
Check the food in several places. Conventional
thermometers may be used on microwaved
food once the food has been removed from the
oven.
LIMITED USE
Aluminum foil
— Use narrow strips of foil to
prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using
too much foil can damage your oven, so be
careful. You should keep a distance of 1 inch
(2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity.
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware
— Use
these if they are labeled "Microwave Safe". If
they are not labeled, test them to make sure
they can be used safely.
Plastic
— Use only if labeled "Microwave
Safe". Other plastics can melt.
Not Recommended
Glass jars and bottles
— Regular glass is too
thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter
and cause damage and injury.
Paper bags
— These are a fire hazard, except
for popcorn bags that are designed for
microwave use.
Styrofoam plates and cups
— These can
melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
Plastic storage and food containers
—
Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in
the microwave.
Metal utensils
— These can damage your
oven. Remove all metal before cooking.
