IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

MICROWAVE-SAFE

COOKWARE

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 only foil 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.
