Using the Upper Oven
Before Using the Upper Oven
NOTE
• To avoid risk of personal injury or property
damage, do not use stoneware, metal cookware,
or metal rimmed cookware in the oven.
• To program the oven, make sure you touch
the center of each key firmly since the areas
between the keys will not activate the oven.
A tone will sound each time a key is touched
correctly. Don't touch several keys at once.
• Do not strike the control panel with silverware,
cookware, etc. Breakage may occur.
• Always use caution when taking cookware out
of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the
cooked food and may be hot. See Cookware
Guide earlier in this section for more information.
Microwave Cookware Guide
Use
OVENPROOF GLASS
(treated for high intensity heat):
utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake
plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and
bowls without metallic trim.
CHINA:
bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters
without metallic rims.
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.
Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer
containers and plastic bags only for short
cooking time. Use these with care because the
plastic may soften from the heat of the food.
PAPER:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins,
and paper plates with no metallic rim or design.
Check the manufacturer's label before using in
the microwave oven.
NOTE:
Do not use recycled paper products in the
microwave oven. They sometimes contain
impurities that cause arcing and sparking.
NOTE
• Do not rinse containers by placing them in water
immediately after cooking. This may cause
breakage. Also, always allow the turntable to
cool before removing it from the oven.
• 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.
• Use thermometers that have been approved for
microwave oven cooking.
• The turntable must always be in place when
you operate 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.

Do Not Use
METAL CONTAINERS:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces
uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil
trays. Metal containers can cause arcing, which can damage the
microwave oven.
METAL DECORATION:
Metal-rimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc.
The metal rim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the
oven.
ALUMINUM FOIL:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking
and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield
poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from
the side walls and door of the oven.
WOOD:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when
you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the same way.
TIGHTLY COVERED COOKWARE:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered
containers. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food
items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode.
BROWN PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags.
They absorb too much heat and could burn.
FLAWED OR CHIPPED COOKWARE:
Any container that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the
oven.
METAL TWIST TIES:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.
They become hot and could cause a fire.
