Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is

suitable for microwaving. Most glass casserole, cooking

dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china

dinnerware which do not have metallic trim or glaze with a

metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware will be labeled

“suitable for microwaving”.

• If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it

is safe for use in microwave ovens.

• 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 filament should be avoided, as

they may also ignite.

• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens.

Check the package for proper use.

• Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packaged on)

have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When

microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven, or

ignite a paper towel.

• Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred

from the heated food. Pot holders may 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 immediately after

cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage

containers should be at least partially uncovered because

they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly

covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and

direct steam away from hands and face.

• Paper towels, waxed paper, and plastic wrap can be used

to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent

splattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can

escape.

How to test for a microwave-safe dish:

1) Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass

measuring cup filled with1 cup of water.

2) Set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish.

3) Microwave 1 minute on high power.

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.

• Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV dinners may be

microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4” high; remove the top

foil cover and return the tray to the box. When using foil in

the microwave, keep the foil at least 1 inch away from the

sides of the oven.

• Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very

useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe

plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as

are glass and ceramic materials, and may soften or char if

subjected to short periods of over-cooking. In longer

exposure to over-cooking, the food and cookware could

ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

1) Use Microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict

compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s

recommendations.

2) Do not microwave empty containers.

3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without

complete supervision.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical

short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by

providing an escape wire for the electric current. This

appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding

wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an

outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the

grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if

doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly

grounded.If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is

your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced

with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

DO NOT under any circumstances cut or remove the third

(ground) prong from the power cord.

DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.

DO NOT use an extension cord with this appliance.

If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or

service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical

outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse, or tripping

of circuit breaker.
