IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
WARNING!
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is
suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking
dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china
dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with
a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled
"suitable for microwaving."
n If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this
test: Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and
a glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water—set the
measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave
30–45 seconds at high. 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.
n If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure
it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
n 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 filaments should be avoided, as
they may also ignite.
n Some foam 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.
n Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers.
n Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Check the package for proper use.
n Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used
to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent
spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can
escape.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Countertop Microwave Oven
n Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred
from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to
handle the cookware.
n "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.
n Use foil only as directed in this guide. 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 oven, keep the foil at least 1" away
from the sides of the oven.
n Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designed for
microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used
carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be
as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or
ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected
to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to
overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
1.
Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in
strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer's
recommendations.
2. Do not microwave empty containers.
3.
Do not permit children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision.
