Microwaving Tips - GE Spacemaker JVM140K User Manual

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 rnetalllc 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
1 cup water—set
the measuring cup either in or next to the dish.
Microwave 1 minute 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.

MICROWAVING TIPS

IF YOU NEED SERVICE...
FIRST, contact the people who
serviced your appliance. Explain
why you are not pleased. In most
cases, this will solve the problem.
NEXT, if you are still not pleased,
write all the details—including
your phone number—to:
Manager, Consumer Relations
GE Appliances
Appliance Park

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.
Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating
or rearranging. Check the Cooking Guide.
Steam builds up pressure in foods which are
tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce
potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent
bursting.
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make
sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
FINALLY, if your problem is still
not resolved, write:
