a dish is microwave-sate,
use this test: Place in the

measuring cup filled with
] cup of water--set the

measuring cup either
in or next to the dish.

Microwave 30-45 seconds
at iligh. If the disil heats,

it should not be used %r

If the dish remains cool
and only the water in tile

is microwave-sate.

If you use a meat

O_ ens.

Do not use recycled
paper products. Recycled

paper towels, napkins
and waxed paper can

contain metal flecks
which may cause arcing

or ignite. Paper products
containing nylon or

nylon filaments should
be avoided, as they may

also ignite.

o Some stvro%am tcays

(like those that meat is

packaged on) have a thin
strip of me/al embedded

in the bottom. When

microwaved, the metal can

burn the floor of the oven
or igni/e a paper towel.

o Do not use the n/icrowave

to dry newspapers.

o Not all plastic wrap

is suitable for use in
inicrowave ovens.

Check tile package
%r proper use.

o 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 st)

* Cookware may become

hot because of heat
transferred from the

heated food. Pot holders
may be needed to handle

the cookware.

* "Boilable" cooking

pouches and tightly
closed plastic bags should

be slit, pierced or vented
as directed by package.

If they are ,lot, plastic
could burst during or
immediately after

cooking, possibly resuhing

cooking. The power levels

on the n/icrOW}lVe oven

can be compared to tile
surfilce units on a range.
High (power level 10) or
full power is the filstest way
to cook and gives you
100% power. Each power
level gives you microwave
energy a certain percent of

the time. Power level 7 is
microwave energy 70% of

the time. Power lexel 3 is

A high setting (l 0) will

cook tilsmr but food may
need more flequent
stirring, rotating or turning
over. Most cooking will be
done on High (power level
l 0). A lower setting will
cook more evenly and need
less stirring or rotating of

the toed.

Some toods may have
better flavor, texture or Low2 or 3
appearance if one of the
lower settings is used. Use
a lower power level when
