Testing your dinnerware or cookware
Test dinnerware or cookware before using.To test a dish for safe use, put itinto the oven with a 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 inmetal containers not designed for microwave use could damage
the oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties,foil lining, staples, metallic glaze 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 not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,gourds, or clothes in the oven.
• Do not start a microwave oven when it isempty. Product life may be shortened. If you practice programming
the oven, put a containerof water inthe oven. Itis normal 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
microwaves to pass through it.
• Do not operate the microwave oven unlessthe glass turntable issecurely in place and can rotatefreely. The
turntable can rotate in either direction.Make sure the turntable iscorrect-side up in the oven. Handle your
turntable with carewhen removing it from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your turntable cracks or
breaks, contact your dealer for a replacement.
• When you use a browning dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least 3A6 inchabove the turntable.
Follow the directions supplied 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 eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cuttinginto
them.
• For best results, stir any liquid several times during heating or reheating. Liquids heated incertain
containers (especially containers shaped like cylinders)may become overheated. The liquid may splash out
with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can
harm the oven.
• Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads to the center from the outer, cooked
areas just as in regular oven cooking. This is one ofthe reasons for lettingsome foods (for example, roasts or
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 utensils are not suitable and it isdifficultto maintain appropriate
deep-fryingtemperatures.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm
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 is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a
qualified electrician check your electrical system.
