GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN    
Testing your dinnerware or cookware
Operating safety precautions
Electrical connection
Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To 
test a dish for safe use, put it into  the oven with a 
cup of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook power 
for one minute. If the dish gets hot, do not 
use it. Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic 
dinnerware, 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).
•  Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing 
on it when the door is open.
•  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.
•  Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty. 
Product life may be shortened. If you practice 
programming the oven, put a container of water 
in the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look 
wavy after the oven has been running for a while.
•  Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. 
Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven 
because it allows microwaves to pass through it.
•  Do not operate the microwave oven unless the 
glass turntable is securely in place and can move 
freely. The turntable can move in either direction. 
Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the 
oven. Handle your turntable with care when 
removing it from the oven to avoid possibly 
breaking it. If your turntable cracks or breaks, 
contact your dealer for a replacement. 
•  When you use a browning dish, the browning 
dish bottom must be at least 3 ⁄16 inch above the 
turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the 
browning dish.
•  Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside 
the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may 
cause them to burst, and possibly damage the 
oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. 
In rare cases, poached eggs have been known 
to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a 
standing time of one minute before cutting into 
them.
•  For best results, stir any liquid several times 
during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in 
certain containers (especially containers shaped 
like cylinders) may become overheated. The 
liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or 
after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee 
granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm the 
oven.
•  Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. 
The heat spreads to the center from the outer, 
cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking. 
This is one of the reasons for letting some foods 
(for example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for 
a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods 
during the cooking time.
•  Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable 
utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to 
maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.
•  Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the 
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be 
slightly firm because they will continue cooking 
during standing time. After microwaving, let 
potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish 
cooking while standing.
If your electric power line or outlet voltage is 
less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. 
Have a qualified electrician check your electrical 
system.
