Cooking you should not do in your microwave oven
•
Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed
glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the
oven.
•
Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects
(baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at
the high temperature needed for sterilization.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
Using your microwave oven may cause interference
to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is
interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:
•
Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.
•
Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
•
Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.
•
Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet
so that the microwave oven and receiver are on
different branch circuits.
FOR THE BEST COOKING RESULTS
•
Always cook food for the shortest cooking time
recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking.
If needed, touch JET START™ Feature pad while the
oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is over
(see the “Using JET START™ Feature” section).
•
Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked
about halfway through the cooking time for all recipes.
This will help make sure the food is evenly cooked.
•
If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax
paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or
plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of the
plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.
TESTING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
To test the oven, put 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water in
a glass container in the oven. Close the door. Make
sure it latches. Cook at 100% power for 2 minutes.
When the time is up, the water should be heated.
