General information

If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less than normal 120 volts, cooking times may be longer.

To test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven with a cup of water beside it. Cook on HIGH Cook Power for one minute. If the dish gets hot and water stays cool, do not use it.
