OVERVIEW
TESTING YOUR DINNERWARE OR COOKWARE
Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To
test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven with
a cup of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook
power for 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 time. Cooking in metal
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 it when the door is open.
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat
containers, but the heat from the food can make
the container hot.
Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in
the oven.
Do not dry owers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,
gourds, or clothes in the oven.
Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty.
Product life may be shortened. If you practice
programming the oven, put a container of
water in the oven. It is normal for the oven door
to look wavy after the oven has been running
for a while.
Do not try to melt paran wax in the oven.
Paran wax will not melt in a microwave oven
because it allows microwaves to pass through it.
Do not operate the microwave oven unless the
glass turntable is securely in place and can
move freely. The turntable can move in either
direction. Make sure the turntable is correct-
side up in the oven. Handle your turntable with
care when 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 3 ⁄16 inch above
the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with
the browning dish.
Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside
the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may

cause them to burst, and possibly damage the
oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating.
In rare cases, poached eggs have been known
to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a
standing time of one minute before cutting into
them.
For best results, stir any liquid several times
during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in
certain 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
(coee 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
outside, cooked areas just as in regular oven
cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting
some 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 is dicult to
maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.
Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be
slightly rm because they will continue cooking
during standing time. After microwaving, let
potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will nish
cooking while standing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less
than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have
a qualied electrician check your electrical system
