IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
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."
■ P lace food or microwavable container directly on the
clear glass tray to cook your food.
■ Use of a metal tray during microwave cooking will
result in inferior cooking performance.
■ 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.
■ 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.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
49-7000076 Rev.0
■ "Boilable" cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic
bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by
package instructions. 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.
■ P lastic 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. Plastic may soften or char if
subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer
exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware
could ignite.
■ D o not use the wire oven rack for microwaving.
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
adult supervision.
The turntable must
always be in place when
using the oven.
The clear glass tray
should always be in place
when microwaving.
