COOKWARE
• Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire,
causing damage to your oven.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly- meat to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 160°F (71.1°C), and poultry to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 180°F (82.2°C). Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against food borne illness.
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for
microwaving. Most glass casserole, cooking dishes, measuring cups, cus-
tard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which do not have metallic trim or
glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware will be labeled
"suitable for microwaving".
• If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for
use in microwave ovens.
• 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 filament should be
avoided, as they may also ignite.
• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the
package for proper use.
• 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.
• Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated
food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.
• "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.
• Paper towels, waxed paper, and plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent splattering. Be sure to vent
plastic wrap so steam can escape.
How to test for a microwave-safe dish:
1) Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring
cup filled with1 cup of water.
2) Set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish.
3) Microwave 1 minute on high power.
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.
• Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV dinners may be microwaved
in foil trays less than 3/4" high; remove the top foil cover and return the
tray to the box. When using foil in the microwave, keep the foil at least
1 inch away from the sides of the oven.
