IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to

publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during

the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

WARNING'!

MICROWAVE-SAFECOOKWARE

Make sure aft cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass
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."

ffyou are not sure if a dish is microwave-

safe, nse fllis test: Place in fl_e oxen both
the dish you are testing and a glass

measuling cup flled with ] cup ofwater_
set file measuring cup either in or next to
tile dish. Microwave 35-45 seconds at higil.

If the dish heats, it should not be used
for microwaving.

If tile dish remains cool and only tile

wamr in tile cup heats, then file dish is

microwax.e-safe,

If you use a meat them/ometer while

cooking, make sure it is safe for use in

microwax e o, ens.

Do not use recycled paper products.
ReQ'cled 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 a,_ided, since flier may also
ignite.

Some Stvrofoam trays (like fllose fllat meat
is packaged on) ha,.e a thin stlip of metal

embedded ill d_e bottom. When
microwa,.ed, the metal can bum file floor
of the o,.en or ignite a paper towel.

Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwa,.e o,.ens. Check file packag.e for

proper rise.
Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic

wrap can be used to co,.er dishes ill order

to retain moisture and prevent spattering.
Be sni.e to ,.ent plastic wrap so steam

call escape.

()\,ei_ized food or oversized metal
cookware should not be used in a
microwave oven. Electrical shock or
fire could occur.

_A]lile paper plates may be used %r timed
cooking and deflosting, do not use fllem

Cookware m W become hot because
of heat uanstbrred flom tim heated

food. Pot holders may be needed to
handle tile cookware.

"Boilable" cooking pouches and tightly
closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced
or ,.ented as diI.ected by packag.e. If they
are not, plastic could burst duling or
immediately after cooking, possibly
resnldng in injm T, Also, plastic storag.e
containers should be at least partially
uncovered because fl_ey form a fight seal.
When cooking wifl_ containers tightly
co,.ered with plastic wrap, remo,.e

Plastic cool<ware - Plastic cool<ware

designed for microwaxe cooking is xerv
useflfl, but should be used caIeflflly.

Exen microwaxe-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 long.er
exposures to overcooking, tile food

and cool<ware could ignite.

Follow theseguidelines:

[] Use microwaxe-safe plastics only and

use them in stlJct compliance with

ARCING

If you see arcing press the CLEAR/OFFpad and correct the problem.

Arcing is themicrowave term forsparks in the

Metal, such as twist-ties, poultIy' pins or
g_ld-fimmed dishes, in tile microwm.e.

Recycled paper rowels containing small
metal pieces being used in file microwm.e.

SUPERHEATEDWATER

Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point.

They can actuafly get superheated and not bubble at all

Superheated liquid will btd)ble up out of the
