This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
1.
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
2.
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food
severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3.
Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4.
Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers.
Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
5.
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center
of the dish to the outside.
1.
The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass through
the container and heat the food.
2.
Microwave can not penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
3.
Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal
fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4.
Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to
overcook.
5.
Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful
don’t use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
