The turntable support must
always be in place when
using the oven.
The glass microwave
turntable should always be
in place when microwaving.
MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
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 glass microwave turntable
to cook your food.
Use of the black 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 guide.
TV dinners may be microwaved in foil
trays less than 3/4" high; remove the
top foil cover and return the tray to the
box. When using foil in the oven, keep
the foil at least 1 inch 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.
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 or vented as directed by
package. 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--Plasfic 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.
