rimmed dishes in the microwave.
d) Recycled paper towels containing small metal
pieces being used in the microwave. WARNING: To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other warnings: Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure high performance from this oven:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
1. Turn the oven off before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.
3. The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
4. If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on Control Panel.
5. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit.
6. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other warnings: Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure high performance from this oven:
1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes.
2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the oven.
3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.
4. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the base.
5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles.
6. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface and door. It could result in excessive leakage of microwave energy.
7. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. They may contain impurities which could cause sparks and/or fires when used during cooking.
8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn popper or unless it's commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping; there will be a number of unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.
9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without first piercing them several times with a fork.
10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the
manufacturer's directions. (popping time is generally below 3 minutes). Longer cooking does not yield more popped corn, it can cause scorchings and fire. Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to handle or may break.
11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the
appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
12. When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food
jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
14. Always test the temperature of food or drink
which has been heated in a microwave oven before you give it to somebody, especially to children or elderly people. This is important because things which have been heated in a microwave oven carry on getting hotter even though the microwave oven cooking has stopped.
15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended;
16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.
Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.
17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you
cannot control the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire.
18. Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.

COOKING GUIDE
COOKING UTENSILS
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
UTENSIL TEST
Place the utensil in question next to a glass measure filled with water, in the microwave oven. Microwave at high power for 1-2 minutes. If the water heats up, but the utensil remains cool, the utensil is microwave-safe. However if the utensil becomes warm, microwaves are being absorbed by the utensil and it should not be in the microwave oven. You probably have many items on hand in your kitchen right now that can be used as cooking equipment in your microwave oven. Read through the following checklist.
Recommended Use
Glass and glass - ceramic bowls and dishes -
Use for heating or cooking. Microwave browning dish - Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with you browning dish. Microwaveable plastic wrap - Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
Wax paper - Use as a cover to prevent spattering. Paper towels, paper plates napkins and cups - Use
for short term heating and covering; they absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Always attend the oven closely. Only use to absorb fat and moisture when warming food. Pay special attention as over-heating may cause a fire in your oven. Do not use re-cycled paper products, e.g. kitchen roll unless they say they are specifically designed for use in a microwave oven. These products contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used. Thermometers - Use only those labeled "Microwave Safe" and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven. Microwave cling film, microwave roasting bags ­Microwave cling film and bags must be vented for steam to escape, pierce in 4~5 places. Do not use plastic or metal ties as they may melt or catch fire due to electrical ‘arcing’.
Limited Use
Aluminum foil - Use narrow strips of foil to
prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much toil can damage your oven, so be careful. Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware - Use these if they are labeled "Microwave Safe". If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.
Plastic - Use only if labeled "Microwave Safe". Other plastics can melt. Thin plastic, paper, straw and wooden containers ­Always attend the oven closely. Look at the oven from time to time when cooking or reheating food in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible material. Only use for warming food. Pay special attention as overheating may cause a fire in your oven.
Not Recommended
Glass jars and bottles - Regular glass is too thin
to be used in a microwave, and can shatter. Paper bags ­popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use. Styrofoam plates and cups - These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food. Plastic storage and food containers - Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave. Metal utensils - These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.
