Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Operating Instructions Safety Information
Make sure all 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 1 cup
of water—set the measuring
cup either in or next to the
dish. Microwave 30–45
seconds 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.
■ If you use a meat thermometer
while cooking, make sure it is
safe for use in microwave ovens.
■ Do not use the microwave to
dry newspapers.
■ Not all plastic wrap is suitable
for use in microwave ovens. Check
the package for proper use.
■ Do not use recycled paper
products. Recycled paper
towels, napkins and waxed
paper can contain metal
flecks which may cause arcing
or ignite. Paper products
containing nylon or nylon
filaments should be avoided,
as they may also ignite.
■ Cookware may become hot
because of heat transferred
from the heated food. Pot
holders may be needed to
handle the cookware.
■ Some styrofoam trays (like
those that meat is packaged
on) have a thin strip of metal
embedded in the bottom.
When microwaved, the metal
can burn the floor of the oven
or ignite a paper towel.
■ Paper towels, waxed 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.
■ Use foil only as directed in
this guide. TV dinners may
be microwaved in foil trays
less than 3/4″high; remove
the top foil cover and return
the tray to the box. When
using foil in the microwave
oven, keep the foil at least
1 inch away from the sides
of the oven.
■ “Boilable” cooking pouches
and tightly closed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed by package. If they
are not, plastic could burst
during or immediately after
cooking, possibly resulting in
injury. Also, plastic storage
containers should be at least
partially uncovered because
they form a tight seal. When
cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic
wrap, remove covering
carefully and direct steam
away from hands and face.
