IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
A WARNING!
MICROWA VE-SAFE COOKWARE
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."

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
I cup of water-set the measuring cup either in
or next to the dish. Microwave 35-45 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.
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 may
contain metal flecks which could cause arcing or
ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon
filaments should be avoided, sincethey may also
ignite.
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.
Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package for proper
use.
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.
Oversized food or oversized metal cookware
should not be used in a microwave oven.
Electrical shock or fire could occur.
While paper plates may be used for timed
cooking and defrosting, do not use them with
Auto Sensor cooking. Use microwave-safe plates
or bowls for reheating. Cover with plastic wrap.
i Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders
may be needed to handle the cookware.
"Bailable" 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.

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 oven, keep the foil at least 1 inch
away from the sides of the oven.
