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 beat 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.
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 one 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.

want you to be pleased. If for some
reason you are not happy with the
service you receive, here are three
steps to follow for further help.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
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

Hot foods and steam can cause
burns. Be careful when opening
any containers of hot food,
including popcorn bags, cooking
pouches and boxes. To prevent
possible injury, direct steam away
from hands and face.
FINALLY, if your problem is still
not resolved, write:
