MICROWAVE TIPS
• Make sure all the cookware used in your
microwave oven is suitable for microwaving.
Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring
cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware
which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a
metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is
labeled “suitable for microwaving.”
• If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe,
use this test:
Place in the oven both
the dish you are
testing and a glass
measuring cup filled
with one cup water—
set the measuring cup
either in or next to the
dish. Microwave for 1 minute at high. If the dish
heats, it should not be used for microwaving.
If the dish remains cool and only the water in the
cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.
• Paper towels, wax paper and plastic wrap
can be used to cover dishes in order to retain
moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent
plastic wrap so steam can escape.
• Some microwaved foods require stirring,
rotating or rearranging. See the cookbook.
• Steam builds up pressure in foods which
are tightly covered by a skin or membrane.
Pierce potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers
to prevent bursting.
All these things are normal with your
microwave oven:
• Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.
• Light reflection around the door or the outer case.
• Dimming of the oven light and change in the blower
sound may occur while operating at power levels
other than high.
• The microwave fan may operate with both ovens
off. It is cooling the control and will turn itself off.
• Some TV-Radio interference might be noticed while
using your microwave oven. It’s similar to the
interference caused by other small appliances and
does not indicate a problem with your oven.
• A dull thumping sound while the oven is operating.
HOW TO USE THE HOLD TIMER
The hold timer has three timing functions:
• It operates as a minute timer.
• It can be set to delay cooking.
• It can be used as a hold setting after defrosting.
The hold timer operates without microwave energy.
