_AWARNING!
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."
[] Do not use the wire oven rack for
microwave.
[] Place 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.

cup filled with 1
cup of water in
the oven. Set the measuring cup either
in or next to the dish. Microwave 50-45
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.
-A CAUTION: Burn Risk
[] Cookware may become hot because
of heat transferred from the heated food.
Oven mitts may be needed to handle the
cookware.
[]
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.
[]
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.
[]
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.
"Bailable" 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.
[] 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 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.
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.
