Microwave- safe cookware

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

Advantium Oven

WARNING!

Make sure to use suitable cookware during microwave cooking. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.”

The turntable must

always be in place when

using the oven.

The clear glass tray

should always be in place

when microwaving.

6

nDo not use the wire oven rack for microwave.

nPlace food or microwavable container directly on the clear glass tray to cook your food.

nUse of a metal tray during microwave cooking will result in inferior cooking performance.

nIf you are not

sure if a dish

is microwave- safe, use this test: Place both the dish you are testing and a

glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water in

the oven. 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.

CAUTION: Burn Risk

nCookware may become hot because

of heat transferred from the heated food. Oven mitts may be needed to handle the cookware.

nUse 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.

nIf you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

nSome foam 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.

SAVE THESE

nDo 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.

nPaper 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.

nNot all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

n“Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package instructions. 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.

nPlastic 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 glass or ceramic materials. Plastic 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 adult supervision.
