SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICRO WAVING

Make sure all cookware
used in your microwave

oven is suitable lot
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 lot

microwaving."

microwave-safe dish.

• If you are not sure if a

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

oven both the dish you
are testing and a glass
measuring cup filled with
1 cup of water--set the
measuring cup either in

or next to the dish.
Microwave 30-45 seconds

at high. If the dish lmats,
it should not be used

Jot microwaving.

If the dish remains cool
and only the water in the

cup heats, then the dish
is microwave-sale.

If you use a meat thet=
mometer while cooking,

make sure it is sale for

rise ill microwave O_llS.

• 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 aw)ided, as they may
also ignite.

• Some styrofoam trays

(like those that meat is

packaged on) have a thin
strip of metal embedded

in the bottom. YVhen
microwaved, the metal

can burn the floor of the
oven or ignite a paper

towel.

Do not use the microwave
to dry newspapers.

Not all plastic wrap is
suitable for use in micro-

wave ovens. Check the
package tor proper use.

• 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.

• Cookware may become
hot 1)ecause of heat

transJcrred tiom the
heated tood. Pot holders

m_V 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 not, plastic could
burst during or immed-
iately after cooking,
possil)ly resulting in iqiury.

Also, plastic storage

containers should be at
least partially uncovered

because they form a tight
seal. ¼_hen cooking with
containers tightly covered
with plastic wrap, remove
covering carefiflly and
direct steam away tiom

hands and lace.

Do not permit children

without complete

The Lm will operate
automatically under

certain conditions (see

Automatic Fan tcature).

Take care to prevent the
starting and spreading of
accidental cooking fires

while the vent Lm is in use.

• Clean the underside of
the microwave often. Do

not allow grease to build
up on the microwave or

the Jim filters.

• In the event of a grease
fire on the surtace units

below the microwave
oven, smother a flaming

pan on the surlace unit
by covering the pan
completely with a lid, a
cookie sheet or a fiat tray.

• Use care when cleaning
the vent Jim filters.

Corrosive cleaning
agents, such as lye-based
()veil cleaners, ilia},
damage the filters.

• When preparing
flaming toods under

the microwave, turn the

Jilll on,

• Never leave surfi_ce units
beneath your microwave

oven unattended at high
heat settings. Boilovcrs
cause smoking and greasy
spillovcrs that may ignite
and spread if the

microwave vent tan is
operating. To minimize

automatic tan operation,
use adequate sized
cookware and use 1-1igh

heat on surlace units

only when necessary.
