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.
R
ADIO 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 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.
F
OR 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.
T
ESTING 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.
