the empty containter/utensil to be tested; heat for one (1) minute at maximum power. If the
container/utensil you are testing is microwave oven safe (transparent to microwave energy) it
should remain comfortably cool, the water in the glass jug should be hot. If the container/utensil
being tested is hot, it has absorbed some microwave energy and should NOT be used. This test
is not applicable for plastic items.
MATERIALS YOU CAN USE IN THIS MICROWAVE OVEN

Aluminum foil
Shielding only. Small smooth pieces can be used to cover thin parts of meat or poultry to prevent
overcooking. Sparks can occur if foil is too close to oven walls. The foil must be at least 1 inch
(2.5cm) away from oven walls.
Browning dish
Follow browning dish manufacturer’s instructions. The bottom of the browning dish must be at
least 5mm above the turntable.
NOTE: An overly hot browning dish sitting directly on the glass turntable could cause the
turntable to break!

Glassware
Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metallic trim. Do not use cracked or
chipped dishes. Confirm glassware is heat-resistant before using in the microwave.
Oven cooking bags
