INTRODUCTION

This is not your ordinary microwave oven.

It has more – inside and out. Inside it’s

solid, nonporous, easy-to-sanitize stain-

less steel. Outside you’ll find 25 prepro-

grammed control options. It performs all

the standard reheating and defrosting

microwave tasks with ease, setting time

and temperature for specific items. But it

is also large enough, and smart enough,

to let you cook from scratch. Check out

the recipes for cooking fish and rice,

steaming vegetables, or roasting garlic.

And don’t miss the 2, 4 and 6 slice bacon

buttons. Cook healthier, cook faster, cook

easier… with the Cuisinart stainless steel

microwave.

IMPORTANT

SAFEGUARDS

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,

injury to persons or exposure to

excessive microwave oven energy when

using your appliance, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

1. The oven must be placed on a level

surface.

2. The glass turntable and turntable

assembly must be in the oven during

cooking. Handle the glass turntable

carefully and place cookware on it

gently to avoid possible breakage.

3. Incorrect use of browning dish may

cause the turntable to break. See

“Materials you can use in a micro-

wave oven,” page 6.

4. Use only the correctly specified bag

size when using the preset popcorn

program.

5. The oven has several built-in safety

switches to ensure that the power

remains off when the door is open.

Do not tamper with these switches.

6. Do not operate the microwave oven

empty. Operating the oven with no

food or food that is extremely low in

moisture can cause fire, charring or

sparking.

7. Do not cook bacon directly on the

turntable. Excessive local heating of

the turntable may cause the turntable

to break.

8. Do not heat baby bottles or baby

food in the microwave oven. Uneven

heating/hotspots may occur and

could cause injury.

9. Do not heat narrow-necked contain-

ers, such as syrup bottles.

10. Do not attempt to deep-fry in your

microwave oven.

11. Do not attempt home canning in this

microwave oven, as it is impossible to

be sure all contents of the jar have

reached boiling temperature.

12. Do not use this microwave oven for

commercial purpose. This microwave

oven is made for household use only.

13. To prevent delayed eruptive boiling of

hot liquids and beverages or scalding

yourself, stir liquid before placing the

container in the oven and again half-

way through cooking time. Let it

stand in the oven for a short time and

stir again before removing the con-

tainer.

14. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean

condition could lead to deterioration

that could adversely affect the life of

the appliance and possibly result in a

hazardous situation.

15. Do not let cord hang over edge of

table or counter.

16. When cleaning door and oven surfac-

es use only mild, nonabrasive soaps

or detergents applied with a sponge

or soft cloth.

17. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea

can heat beyond the boiling point

without appearing to be boiling. This

is called delayed eruptive boiling.

When the container is removed from

the oven, there is a danger that very

hot liquids could suddenly boiling over

when the container is disturbed or a

spoon or other utensil is inserted into

the liquid.

CONTAINERS

CAUTION: Personal Injury Hazard

Tightly-closed containers could explode.

Closed containers should be opened and

plastic pouches should be pierced before

cooking.
See the charts on pages 6 and 7 of mate-

rials you can use in microwave oven or to

avoid using in your microwave oven. There

may be certain non-metallic materials

that are not safe to use for microwaving.

If in doubt, you can test the material/con-

tainer in question following the procedure

below.
Material/Container Test:
1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1

cup of cold water (250ml) along with

the material or container in question.

2. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute.
3. Carefully feel the material or contain-

er. If it is warm, do not use it for

microwave cooking.

4. Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time.
