Testing your dinnerware or cookware
Test dinnerware or cookware before using.To
test a dish for safe use, put itinto the oven witha
cupof water beside it.Cook at 100% cook power
for one minute. Ifthe 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 containers notdesigned for
microwave use could damage the oven, as could
containerswith hidden metal (twist-ties,foil lining,
staples, metallicglaze or trim).
Operating safety precautions
• Never leanon the door or allowa childto swing
on it when the door is open.
• Use hot pads. Microwave energydoes not heat
containers, but the heatfrom the food can make
the container hot.
• Do not use newspaper or other printedpaper in
the oven.
• Do not dryflowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,
gourds, or clothesin the oven.
• Do not starta microwave oven when it is empty.
Product lifemay beshortened. Ifyou practice
programming the oven, put a container of water in
the oven. Itis normalfor the oven door to look
wavy after the oven has been running for a while.
• Do not try to melt paraffin wax inthe oven.
Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven
because it allows microwaves to pass through it.
• Do not operate themicrowave oven unless the
glass turntable is securely in place and can move
freely. The tumtable can move in eitherdirection.
Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the
oven. Handleyour turntable with carewhen
removing it from the oven to avoid possibly
breaking it. If yourtumtable cracks or breaks,
contact your dealer for a replacement.
•When you use a browning dish, the browning
dish bottom must be at least 3/16 inch abovethe
turntable. Followthe directions suppliedwith the
browning dish.
• Never cook or reheata whole egg inside the
shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause
them to burst,and possiblydamage the oven.
81ice hard-boiledeggs beforeheating. Inrare
cases, poached eggs havebeen known to
explode. Cover poached eggsand allow a
standing time ofone minute before cutting into
them.
• Forbest results, stir any liquid several times
during heating or reheating. Liquidsheated in
certain containers (especiallycontainers shaped
likecylinders)may become overheated. The liquid
may splash outwith a loud noise during or after
heatingor when adding ingredients (coffee
granules, tea bags, etc.).This can harmthe oven.
• Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast.
The heat spreads to the center from the outer,
cooked areasjust as in regular oven cooking.This
isone of the reasons for letting some foods (for
example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for a
while after cooking, or for stirringsome foods
during the cooking time.
• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable
utensilsare not suitable and itisdifficult to
maintain appropriatedeep-frying temperatures.
• 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
potatoesstand for 5 minutes. They willfinish
cooking while standing.

Ifyour electric power line or outlet voltage is
less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer.
