Material/Container Test - PowerXL BDK03 Owner's Manual

Instructions for Use
Containers
CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Tightly-closed containers could explode. Closed containers
should be opened and plastic pouches should be pierced
before cooking.
See the instructions in the "Cookware in the Microwave"
and "Materials to Avoid in the Appliance" sections.
There may be certain non-metallic materials that are not
safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the
utensil in question by following the instructions in the
"Material/Container Test" section.

Material/Container Test

1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup (250 ml)
of cold water and the container.
2. Set the appliance to microwave mode and cook
on maximum power for 1 minute. NOTE: Do not
microwave the container for more than 1 minute.
3. Carefully feel the container. If the container is warm,
do not use the container in microwave mode.
4. Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time to not overheat
the container.
Preventing Arcing
Arcing is sparks or electric flashes that crackle or pop.
Arcing can produce heat that is quite intense and can
damage the interior of the microwave or containers being
used in the microwave. It can also cause fire.
Arcing occurs when metal containers are used in the
microwave and can also occur with the use of metal
skewers, metal clamps, or twist ties for plastic bags. To
prevent arcing, use the charts to determine which materials
are microwave safe, or follow instructions from container/
wrap manufacturer.
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:
• Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in
strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer's
recommendations.
• Do not microwave empty containers.
• Do not permit children to use plastic cookware
without adult supervision.
