Testing your dinnerware or cookware

Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To
test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven with a
cup of wafer beside if. Cook at 100% cook power
for one minufe. If the dish gets hot, do not use it.

Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic

dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy,

becoming too hot to handle and slowing cooking

times. Cooking in metal containers not designed for

microwave use could damage the oven, as could

containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining,
staples, metallic glaze or trim).

Operating safety precautions

• Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing

on it when the door is open.

• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat

containers, but the heat from fhe food can make
the container hot.

• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in

the oven.

• Do not dry flowers, fruif, herbs, wood, paper,

gourds, or clothes in the oven.

• Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty.

Product life may be shortened. If you practice

programming the oven, put a container of water in

the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look

wavy after the oven has been running for a while.

• Do not try to melt paraffin wax in fhe oven.

Paraffin wax will nof melt in a microwave oven

because it allows microwaves to pass through it.

• Do not operate the microwave oven unless the

glass turntable is securely in place and can move
freely. The furntable can move in either direction.

Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the

oven. Handle your turntable with care when

removing it from the oven to avoid possibly
breaking it. If your turntable cracks or breaks,

contact your dealer for a replacement.

• When you use a browning dish, the browning

dish bottom must be at least 3/16 inch above the
turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the

browning dish.

>

Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the

shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause
them to burst, and possibly damage the oven.

Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare

cases, poached eggs have been known to
explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a
standing time of one minufe before cutting into
them.

>

For best results, stir any liquid several times

during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in
certain containers (especially containers shaped

like cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid
may splash out with a loud noise during or after
heating or when adding ingredients (coffee

granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm you or
damage the oven.

>

Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast.

The heat spreads to the center from fhe oufer,
cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking. This

is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for

example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for a

while after cooking, or for stirring some foods

during the cooking time.

>

Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable

utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to
maintain appropriate deep-frying femperatures.

>

Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of fhe

recommended cooking time, pofafoes should be

slighfly firm because fhey will continue cooking
during standing time. After microwaving, let

potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish

cooking while standing.

Electrical connection

If your electric power line or outlet voltage is
less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer.

Have a qualified electrician check your electrical

system.
