IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 nonstick 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 styrofoam 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.
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.
■ 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

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.
