To test the oven put about 1 cup (250 ml) of
cold water in a glass container in the oven.
Close the door. Make sure it latches. Cook
at 100% power for 2 minutes. When the time
is up, the water should be heated.

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 and water stays cool, 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. Injury
could result. 

• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not

heat containers, but heat from the food can
make the container hot.

• Do not use newspaper or other printed 

paper in the oven. Fire could result.

• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, 

paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven. 
Fire could result.

• 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.

• 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

cookware is not suitable and it is difficult to
maintain appropriate deep frying 
temperatures.

• Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could 

result. At the end of the recommended
cooking time, potatoes should be slightly
firm because they will continue cooking
during standing time. After microwaving,
wrap potatoes in foil and set aside for 5
minutes. They will finish cooking while
standing.

• Do not operate the microwave oven unless

the glass turntable is securely in place and
can rotate freely. The turntable can rotate 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 (5mm) 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 burn you, 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.

times before 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 and
possibly injure someone.
