Microwaving Tips

● 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 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.

c Paper towels, wax 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.

● Some microwaved foods

require stirring, rotating or

rearranging. Check the cookbook.

● 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.

(See pages 16 and 17.)

AUTOMATIC FN FEATURE

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

cannot 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.
