GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

TESTING YOUR DINNERWARE OR COOKWARE

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 1 min-

ute. If the dish gets hot and water stays cool, 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).

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst and burn you, 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 1 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 and possibly injure someone.

Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open. Injury could result.

Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the heat from the food can make the container hot.Ê
