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:
l Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of
the oven.
l Adjusting the receiving antenna of the
radio or television.
l Moving the receiver away from the
microwave oven.
l Plugging the microwave oven into a
different outlet so that the microwave oven
and receiver are on different branch
circuits.
Testing your microwave oven
To test the oven put about 1 cup of cold
q
water in a glass container in
the oven. Close the door.
I
Make sure it latches. Follow
the directions on page 22
to set the oven to cook for
2 minutes. When the time is up, the water
should be heated.
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 and water stays cool, 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
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 cook or reheat a whole egg inside
the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may
cause them to burst and burn you, 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.
