Microwaving Tips

●

Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving.

casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.”

If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this test:

Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with one cup 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.

●

Paper towels, wax paper and

plastic wrap

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.

● 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.

Most glass

can be used to cover

AUTOMATIC

Cooking appliances installed under the oven may, under some heavy usage conditions, cause temperatures high enough to overheat some internal parts of the microwave oven.

To prevent overheating from taking place, the exhaust fan is designed to automatically turn on at a low speed if excessive temperatures occur. Should this happen, the fan can not be manually turned off, but it will automatically turn off when the internal parts have cooled. The fan may stay on up to approximately 30 minutes after the range and microwave oven controls have been turned off.
