Test dinnerware or
cookware before
using. To test a dish for
safe use, put it into the
oven with a cup of water
beside it. Cook at 100%
cook power for 1 minute.
If the dish gets hot and
water stays cool, 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).
Never lean on the
door or allow a child to
swing on it when the
door is open.
Do not start a
microwave oven when it
is empty. Product life
may be shortened.
If you practice
programming
the oven,
put a container of water
in the oven.
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.
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.
