Beyond Microwace Oven manual Testing Containers and Utensils

Microwave Oven Owner’s Manual

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Caution: Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

Testing Containers and Utensils

Some non-metallic containers and utensils become extremely hot when used in a microwave oven. To avoid risk of scald- ing, use the following procedure to determine if a container or utensil is safe for microwave use:

1.Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup (250 ml) of cold water. Place it in the microwave oven along with the container or utensil in question.

2.Turn the oven on maximum power for 1 minute. Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time.

3.Carefully feel the container. If the empty container is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking.
