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 guide.
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-
safe
cookware
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.”
