Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven

Radio interference

Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:

Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.

Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

Moving the radio or TV away from the microwave oven.

Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and radio or TV are on different branch circuits.

Testing your microwave oven

To test the oven, put about 1 cup of cold water in a glass container in the oven. Close the door and make sure it latches. Follow the directions in “Cooking at high cook

power” in the “Standard Microwave Cooking” section to set the oven to

cook for 2 minutes. When the time is up, the water should be heated.

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 minute. 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).
