REMARKS
Use as shielding only. Small, smooth pieces can be used to cover thin parts of meat or poultry to
prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is wrinkled or too close to oven walls. The foil
should be at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) away from oven walls.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions. The bottom of the browning dish must be at least 3/16
in. (5 mm) above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the turntable to break.
Use microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Do not use cracked or chipped
dishes.
Always remove the lid. Use only to heat food until just warm. Most glass jars are not heat resistant
and may break.
Use heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metallic trim. Do not use cracked or
chipped dishes.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Do not close with a metal tie. Make slits to allow steam to
