MICROWAVE OVEN USE

A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food.

■Never lean on or allow children to swing on the oven door.

■Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.

■The turntable must be in place and correct side up when oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken. See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.

■Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in the oven.

■Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper should not be dried in the oven.

■Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or deep frying. The oven cannot maintain appropriate temperatures.

■Paraffin wax will not melt in the oven because it does not absorb microwaves.

■Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from oven.

■Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

■Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.
