Some

containers-for example, closed jars-will

explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury.

●

Avoid heating baby food

the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding when warming formula or breast milk. The container may feel cooler than the milk really is. Always test the

milk before feeding the baby.

●

Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow

necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

●

Plastic cookware-Plastic cookware designed

for microwave cooking is very useful, but should

be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe plastics use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty cookware to microwaving.

3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.

TIPS

● Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap

can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

● Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating

or rearranging. Check the Cooking Guide.

● Steam builds up pressure in foods which are

tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent bursting.

the dish you are testing and a glass

filled with 1 cup of water—set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.

If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

VARIABLE POWER LEVELS (1-10)

How to Change Power Level

1. Press MICRO COOK or TIME DEFROST.

2. Select cooking or defrosting time.

3. Press POWER LEVEL.

4. Select desired power level 1-10.

5. Press START.

Variable power levels add flexibility to your microwave cooking. The power levels on your microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. High

(Power Level 10) or full power is the fastest way to cook and gives you 100%J power. Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the time. Power Level 7 is microwave energy time. Power Level 3 is energy

A high setting (10) will cook faster but may need additional attention such as frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. Most of your cooking will be done on High (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook more evenly and with less attention given to stirring or rotating the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. You may wish to use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
