IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is
suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which
does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be
used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.”
„ If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this test:
Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass
PHDVXULQJFXSILOOHGZLWKFXSRIZDWHU³VHWWKHPHDVXULQJ
FXSHLWKHULQRUQH[WWRWKHGLVK0LFURZDYH
30–45 seconds at high. 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.
„ 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,
QDSNLQVDQGZD[HGSDSHUFDQFRQWDLQPHWDOIOHFNVZKLFKPD\
cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or
nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.
„ Some foam 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.
„ Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers.
„ Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Check the package for proper use.
„ 3DSHUWRZHOVZD[HGSDSHUDQGSODVWLFZUDSFDQEHXVHGWR
cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering.
Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.
„ 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,
SRVVLEO\UHVXOWLQJLQLQMXU\$OVRSODVWLFVWRUDJHFRQWDLQHUV
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.
„ Use foil only as directed in this guide. TV dinners may be
microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4" high; remove the top

microwave oven, keep the foil at least 1" away from the sides
of the oven.
„ 3ODVWLFFRRNZDUH³3ODVWLFFRRNZDUHGHVLJQHGIRUPLFURZDYH
cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even
microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking
conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften

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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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
GRXEWH[LVWVDVWRZKHWKHUWKHDSSOLDQFHLVSURSHUO\JURXQGHG
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.
:HGRQRWUHFRPPHQGXVLQJDQH[WHQVLRQFRUGZLWKWKLV
appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet near the
appliance. (See EXTENSION CORDS section.)
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical
outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of
circuit breaker.
