6IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSWARNING!MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWAREMake sure all cookware used in your microwaveoven is suitable for microwaving. Most glasscasseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups,custard cups, pottery or china dinnerwarewhich does not have metallic trim or glaze witha metallic sheen can be used. Some cookwareis labeled “suitable for microwaving.”• If you are not sure ifa dish is microwave-safe, use this test:Place in the ovenboth the dish you aretesting and a glassmeasuring cup filledwith 1 cup ofwater—set the measuring cup either in ornext to the dish. Microwave 30–45 seconds athigh. If the dish heats, it should not be usedfor microwaving.If the dish remains cool and only thewater in the cup heats, then the dish ismicrowave-safe.• If you use a meat thermometer whilecooking, make sure it is safe for use inmicrowave ovens.• Do not use recycled paper products. Recycledpaper towels, napkins and waxed paper cancontain metal flecks which may cause arcingor ignite. Paper products containing nylon ornylon filaments should be avoided, as theymay also ignite.• Use foil only as directed in this manual.When using foil in the microwave oven, keepthe foil at least 1 inch away from the sides ofthe oven.• Some styrofoam trays (like those that meatis packaged on) have a thin strip of metalembedded in the bottom. When microwaved,the metal can burn the floor of the oven orignite a paper towel.• Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers.• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use inmicrowave ovens. Check the package forproper use.• Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrapcan be used to cover dishes in order to retainmoisture and prevent spattering. Be sure tovent plastic wrap so steam can escape.• Cookware may become hot because of heattransferred from the heated food. Pot holdersmay be needed to handle the cookware.• “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closedplastic bags should be slit, pierced or ventedas directed by package. If they are not, plasticcould burst during or immediately aftercooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also,plastic storage containers should be at leastpartially uncovered because they form a tightseal. When cooking with containers tightlycovered with plastic wrap, remove coveringcarefully and direct steam away from handsand face.• Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designedfor microwave cooking is very useful, butshould be used carefully. Even microwave-safeplastic may not be as tolerant of overcookingconditions as are glass or ceramic materials,and may soften or char if subjected to shortperiods of overcooking. In longer exposuresto overcooking, the food and cookwarecould ignite.Follow these guidelines:1 Use microwave-safe plastics only and usethem in strict compliance with the cookwaremanufacturer’s recommendations.2 Do not microwave empty containers.3 Do not permit children to use plasticcookware without complete supervision.How to test for amicrowave-safe dishSAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
