Before Operating

Learn more about your microwave oven

• To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do

not operate the microwave oven empty.

• To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do

not use stoneware, aluminum foil, metal utensils, or metal trimmed utensils in the microwave oven.

Microwave utensil guide

Use

• Oven proof glass (specifically treated for high intensity heat):

Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim.

• China:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.

Plastic:

•

Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food. Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags for short cooking times. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.

•

Paper:

Paper towls, waxed paper, paper napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturer’s label for any special instructions for use in the microwave oven.

• Metal utensils:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.

• Metal decoration:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.

• Aluminum foil:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls of the oven cavity and door of the microwave.

•

Wood:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react in the same way.

•

Tightly covered utensils:

Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode.

•

Brown paper:

Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.

•

Flawed or chipped cooking utensils:

Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break in the oven.

• Metal twist ties:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot and could cause a fire.
