IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING I MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
Make sure to use suitable cookware during microwave cooking. 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."
[] Place food or microwavable container directly
on the clear glass tray to cook your food.
[] Use of the non-stick metal tray during
microwave cooking will result in inferior cooking
performance.
[] 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.
[] Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Oven mitts
may be needed to handle the cookware.
[] 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.
[] Use foil only as directed in this manual. When
using foil in the oven, keep the foil at least 1"
away from the sides of the oven.
[] Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
[] If you use a meat thermometer while cooking,
make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
[] 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.
[] 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.
[] Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use.
[] "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.
[] 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.
The turntable must always be
in place when using the oven.
The clear glass tray should
always be in place when
microwaving.
