Testing your dinnerware or cookware
Test dinnerware or cookwara before using.To test a dishfor safe use, putit into the ovenwitha 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 containersnot designed for microwave use could damage
the oven, as could containerswith hidden metal (twist-ties,foil lining,staples, metallicglaze 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, butthe heat from the food can make the
container hot.
• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven.
• Do notdry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper, gourds, or clothes inthe oven.
• Do not start a microwave oven when it isempty. Product lifemay be shortened. If you practice programming
the oven, put a container of water inthe oven. It isnormalfor the oven door to look wavy after the oven has
been running for a while.
• Do not try to melt paraffinwax in the oven. Paraffinwax will notmelt ina microwave oven because it allows
microwavesto passthrough it.
• Do not operate the microwave oven unlessthe glass turntable issecurely in placeand can rotatefreely. The
turntable can rotate in eitherdirection. Make sure theturntable is correct-side up inthe oven. Handle your
turntable with carewhen removing itfrom the ovento avoid possibly breakingit. If yourturntable cracks or
breaks,contact your dealer for a replacement.
•When you use a browning dish, the browningdish bottom must be at least 3/16 inchabove the turntable.
Follow the directionssupplied with the browning dish.
• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the shell. Steam buildup inwhole eggs may cause them to burst,
and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases, poached eggs have
been known toexplode. Cover poachedeggs and allow a standing time ofone minute before cutting into
them.
• For best results, stir any liquid several times during heating or reheating. Liquids heatedin certain
containers (especially containersshaped like cylinders)may become overheated. The liquid may splash out
with a loud noiseduring or after heatingor when adding ingredients(coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can
harmthe oven.
• Microwaves may not reachthe center of a roast.The heat spreads to the center from the outer, cooked
areas just as inregular oven cooking.This isone ofthe reasons for lettingsome foods (for example, roastsor
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 utensilsare not suitable and itisdifficult to maintain appropriate
deep-frying temperatures.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cookingtime, potatoes should be slightlyfirm
because they will continue cooking during standing time. After microwaving, let potatoes stand for 5
minutes.They will finish cooking while standing.
Electrical connection
If your electric power line or outletvoltage isless than 110 volts,cookingtimesmay be longer. Have a
qualified electrician check your electrical system.
