Oven Utensils Guide, Radio Interference

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

Cooking you should not do in your microwave oven

•Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.

•Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

OVEN UTENSILS GUIDE

You can use a variety of utensils and materials in your microwave-convection oven. To prevent damage to utensils and your oven, choose appropriate utensils and materials for each cooking method. The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils and materials.

YES: Utensils to use

NO: Utensils to avoid

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 receiver away from the microwave oven.

•Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits.

FOR THE BEST COOKING RESULTS

•Always cook food for the shortest cooking time recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking. If needed, touch JET START™ Feature pad while the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is over (see the “Using JET START™ Feature” section).

•Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all recipes. This will help make sure the food is evenly cooked.

•If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.

TESTING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

To test the oven, put 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water in a glass container in the oven. Close the door. Make sure it latches. Cook at 100% power for 2 minutes.

When the time is up, the water should be heated.
