Operating the Upper
Microwave Oven

Before Using

WARNING
• To avoid risk of personal injury or property
damage, do not use stoneware, metal cookware,
or metal rimmed cookware in the oven.
• Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in
the shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell,
causing it to burst.
• Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food
or water should always be in the oven during
operation to absorb the microwave energy.
• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or
clothes. They may catch fire.
NOTE
• Do not strike the control panel with silverware,
cookware, etc. It may be damaged or broken.
• Always be careful when taking cookware out of
the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the
cooked food and may be hot. See the Cookware
Guide section for more information.
• To avoid breakage, allow cookware to cool
before rinsing or submerging in water. Always
allow the turntable to cool before removing it
from the oven.
• Use thermometers that have been approved for
microwave oven cooking.
• The turntable must always be in place when you
operate the oven.

Microwave Cookware Guide

Microwave-Safe Cookware

Use microwavable cookware.
WARNING
• Do not permit children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision.
• Ovenproof Glass
- Ovenproof glassware that is treated for high
intensity heat so it is heat-resistant is
microwave-safe.
- Use utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake
plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and
bowls without metal rims.
- Do not use delicate glassware, such as
tumblers or wine glasses, as these might
shatter when heated.
• China
- Use bowls, cups, serving plates, pottery,
stoneware, ceramics, and platters without
metal rims or handles. Many containers made
of these materials are microwave-safe, but test
them before use.
• Plastic
- Plastic Storage Containers: Use plastic
dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and
plastic bags only for short cooking times. Do
not use them when cooking food for long
periods or at high power levels, as the hot food
will eventually warp or melt the plastic.
- Plastic wrap (as a cover): Lay the plastic wrap
loosely over the dish and press it to the sides.
Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge
slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The
dish should be deep enough so that the plastic
wrap will not touch the food. As the food heats
it may melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap
touches the food.
- Plastic Cooking Bags: Provided they are
specially made for cooking, cooking bags are
microwave safe. Remember to make a slit in
the bag so that steam can escape. Never use
ordinary plastic bags for cooking in the
microwave oven, as they will melt and rupture.
- Plastic Microwave Cookware: A variety of
shapes and sizes of microwave cookware are
available. You may be able to use items you
already have on hand rather than investing in
new kitchen equipment.
• Paper
- Use paper towels, waxed paper, paper
napkins, and paper plates with no metal rims
or design. Look for the manufacturer's label
for use in the microwave oven.
- Paper plates and containers are convenient
and safe to use in the microwave oven,
provided that the cooking time is short and
foods to be cooked are low in fat and
moisture. Paper towels are also very useful for
wrapping foods and for lining baking trays in
which greasy foods such as bacon are cooked.
- Avoid colored paper products as the color may
run. Do not use recycled paper products in the
microwave oven. They may contain impurities
which could cause arcing or fires when used in
the microwave.
