Testing your dinnerware or cookware
Test dinnerware or cookware before using.To test a dishfor safe use, put itinto the ovenwith a cup of
water besideit. 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 hotto
handle and slowing cooking times. Cooking inmetal containers not designed for microwaveuse could damage
the oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties,foil lining,staples, metallicglazeor trim).
Operating safety precautions
• Never lean on the door or allow a childto swing on itwhen the door is open.
• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heatcontainers, butthe 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 clothesin the oven.
• Do not start a microwave ovenwhen it isempty. Product lifemay be shortened. If you practice programming
theoven, put a containerof water inthe oven. Itisnormal forthe oven door to look wavy after the oven has
been running for a while.
• Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffinwax will not melt ina microwave oven because it allows
microwavesto pass through it.
• Do not operate the microwave oven unlessthe glass turntable issecurely in placeand can rotatefreely. The
turntable can rotate in either direction.Make sure the turntable iscorrect-sideup in the oven. Handle your
turntable with carewhen removing itfrom theoven to avoid possibly breakingit. Ifyourturntable cracks or
breaks,contact yourdealer for a replacement.
• When you usea browning dish, the browningdish bottom must be at least 3A6 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 possiblydamage the oven.Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases, poachedeggs have
been known to explode. Cover poached eggsand allow astanding time ofone minute before cuttinginto
them.
• For best results, stir any liquid several times during heating or reheating. Liquids heatedincertain
containers(especially containersshaped like cylinders)may become overheated. The liquid may splash out
with a loud noiseduring or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can
harm theoven.
• Microwaves may not reachthe center of a roast.The heat spreads to the center from the outer, cooked
areasjust asin regular oven cooking.This isone ofthe reasons for lettingsome foods (forexample, 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 itisdifficultto maintain appropriate
deep-fryingtemperatures.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, 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
I If your electric powerline or outlet voltage isless than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a
qualified electrician check your electrical system.
