RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE

Operation of the microwave oven can cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar
equipment. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the
following measures:
1. Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
2. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
3. Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
4. Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
5. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are
on different branch circuits.
This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have limited use
for short periods, and which ones should not be used in the microwave.
Recommended
·Microwave browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops,
or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.
· M icrowaveable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam
to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
·Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering; These absorb excess
moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain
metal and could ignite.
·Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking.
·Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use
recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.
·Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
·Thermometers — Use only those labeled "Microwave Safe" and follow all directions. Check
the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwave food
once the food has been removed from the oven.

Limited Use

· A luminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas.
Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful.
·Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are labeled "Microwave Safe".
If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely.
·Plastic — Use only if labeled "Microwave Safe". Other plastics can melt.
·Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, such as warming dinner rolls
for a few seconds. Baskets and bowls may be flammable.

Not Recommended

·Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter
and cause damage and injury.
·Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for
microwave use.
·Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
·Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the
microwave.
·Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.
Note: Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in
the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot
should not be used.
