Make sure all 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 islabeled "suitable for
microwaving:'
If you are not sure ifa dish
ismicrowave-safe, usethis
test: Placein the oven both
the dish you are testing
and aglass measuring cup
filledwith I cup of water- How totestfor
set the measuring cup
either in or next to the dish.Hicrowave 50-45
secondsat high. If the dish heats,it should not
be usedfor microwaving.
If the dish remainscool and only the water in
the cup heats,then the dish is microwave-safe.
Oversizedfood or oversizedmetal cookwore

If you usea meat thermometer while
microwoving or using the Auto Grill, Manual Grill
or Combo Grill mode, makesure it issafe for use
in microwave ovens.
Do not userecycled paper products. Recycled
paper towels, napkinsand waxed paper can
contain metal fleckswhich may cause arcing
or ignite.Paperproducts containing nylon or nylon
filaments should be avoided,as they may also
ignite.
Somestyrofoam trays (likethose that meat
ispackaged on) havea thin strip of metal
embedded in the bottom. When microwaved,
the metal can burnthe floor ofthe oven or
ignite a paper towel.
Useof the shelfaccessory:
- Removethe shelffrom the ovenwhen

Defrosting Tips
Foodsfrozenin paper or plastic can be
defrosted inthe package.Closedpackages
should beslit, piercedor vented AFTERfood
has partially defrosted. Plasticstorage
containersshould bepartially uncovered.
Family-size,prepackagedfrozen
dinners can bedefrosted and microwaved.
If the food isin a foil container,transfer
it to a microwave-safe dish.
Youmay change the defrost time at any time
during defrosting by turning the dial.
Power level isautomatically setat 3, but can
be changed. You can defrost smallitems
quickly by raising the power levelafter
entering the time. Power level 7cuts the total
defrosting time in about half;power level10
cuts the total time to approximately 1/3.
However,food will needmore frequent
attention than usual.
A dull thumping noise may be heard during
defrosting.Thisisnormal when oven isnot
operating at High power.
Beverage (Do not use the shelves when
microwave cooking.)
TheBeverage feature heats beveragesfrom
6 to 12ounces.
Foodsthat spoil easily should not be
allowed to sit out for more than one hour
after defrosting. Roomtemperature
promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
Formore even defrosting of larger foods,
such as roasts,useAuto Defrost. Besure
large meats are completely defrosted
before cooking.
When defrosted, food should be cool
but softened inall areas. If stillslightly icy,
return to the microwave very briefly,or let
it stand a few minutes.
Somemodels includea defrost rack, If you
have a defrost rack,place it ontop of the
turntable and the food item onthe rack for
best results.
Drinksheatedwith the Beverage feature mog
be verghot. Removethe container with care.
PotcIto (Do not use the shelves when
microwave cooking.)
ThePotato feature allows you to cook
I to 3potatoes at a time at 8-10 oz.each.

Somefoods mag have betterflavor,texture
or appearance ifone ofthe lower settings is
used.Usea lower power levelwhen cooking
foods that havea tendencg to boilover,
such as scallopedpotatoes.
Restperiods (whenthe microwave

to "equalize"or transfer heat to the inside
of the food.An example of thisis shownwith

Metal Pensare recommended for manual and auto grilling,especiallywhere
browning isimportant. Darkor dull finish metal pans arebest becausethey absorb heat
and produce a crisper exterior.
Glass or Glass-Ceramic casseroleor baking dishesare best suited for egg and cheeserecipes
due to the cleanabilitg of glass.Theg are also recommended when the grilling pan isnot large
enought to accommodate what gou are cooking.

grilling.Be surenot to useitems with metal trim as it mag causearcing (sparking)with
