WARNING!
■Place food or microwavable container
directly on the white ceramic tray to
cook your food.
■Use of either black metal tray during
microwave cooking will result in inferior
cooking performance.
■If you are not sure if a dish is
microwave-safe, use this test: Place
in the oven both the dish you are testing
and a glass measuring cup filled with
1 cup of water—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.
■Cookware may become hot because of
heat transferred from the heated food.
Oven mitts may be needed to handle
the cookware.
■Do 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.
■Use foil only as directed in this manual.
TV dinners may be microwaved in foil
trays less than 3/4″high; remove the
top foil cover and return the tray to the
box. When using foil in the oven, keep
the foil at least 1″away from the sides
of the oven.
■Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
■If you use a meat thermometer while
cooking, make sure it is safe for use
in microwave ovens.
■Some styrofoam 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.
■Paper 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.
■Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use.
■“Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly
closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced
or vented as directed by package. 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.
■Plastic 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 are glass or ceramic materials and
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 complete supervision.
Microwave-safecookware
The oven rack
(turntable) must always
be in place when using
the oven.
The white ceramic tray
should always be in
place when
microwaving.
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.”
