Testing Your Dinnerware Or Cookware; Operating Safety Precautions; Electrical Connection - Kenmore 721.63652 Guía De Uso Y Cuidado

Testing your dinnerware or cookware
Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To test a dish for safe use, put itinto the oven with a cup of
water beside it. Cook at 100% cook powerfor one minute. If the dish gets hot, do not use it.
Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy, becoming too hot to
handle and slowing cooking times. Cooking in metal containers not designed for microwave use could damage
the oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties,foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).
Operating safety precautions
• Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on itwhen the door is open.
• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the heat from the food can make the
container hot.
• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven.
• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven.
• Do not start a microwave oven when it isempty. Product life may be shortened. If you practice programming
the oven, put a container of water in the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look wavy after the oven has
been running for a while.
• Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it allows
microwaves to pass through it.
• Do not operate the microwave oven unless the glass turntable issecurely in place and can rotate freely. The
turntable can rotate in either direction. Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the oven. Handle your
turntable with care when removing it from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your turntable cracks or
breaks, contact your dealer for a replacement.
• When you use a browning dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least 3A6 inchabove the turntable.
Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish.
• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst,
and possiblydamage the oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases, poachedeggs have
been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into
them.
• For best results, stir any liquid several times during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain
containers (especially containers shaped like cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out
with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can
harm the oven.
• Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads to the center from the outer, cooked
areas just as in regular oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for example, roasts or
baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the cooking time.
• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate
deep-frying temperatures.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm
because they will continue cooking during standing time. After microwaving, let potatoes stand for 5
minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
Electrical connection
I If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a
qualified electrician check your electrical system.
