Testing
your dinnerware
or cookware
Test dinnerware
or
cookware
before
using, To test a dish for
safe use, put it into the
even with a cup of water
beside it. Cook at 100%
cook power for 1 minute.
If the dish gets hot and
water stays cool, do
not use it.
Some dishes (melamine,
some ceramic dinnenNare,
etc.) absorb microwave
energy, becoming too hot to
handle and slowing cooking
times. Cooking
in metal
containers
not designed
for microwave
use could
damage the oven, as could containers
with hidden
metal (twist-ties,
foil lining, staples,
metallic glaze
or trim).
Operating
tips
Never lean on the
door or allow a child to
swing on it when the
door is open.
Do not start a
microwave oven when it
is empty. Product life
may be shortened.
If you practice
programming the oven,
put a containerof water
in the oven.
Use hot pads.
Microwave energy does
not heat containers, but
the heat from the food
can make the container
hot.
Do not use newspaper
or other printed paper
in the oven.
Do not dry flowers,
fruit, herbs, wood,
paper, gourds, or
clothes in the oven.
It is normal for the oven door to look wavy after the
oven has been running for a while.
I
Do not try to melt
paraffin wax in the oven.
Paraffinwax will not
melt in a microwave
oven because it allows
microwaves to pass
through it.
