MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWAREDo not operate the oven without the turntable and the turntable support seated and in place. The turntablemust be unrestricted so it can rotate.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 trimor glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.” If you are not sure if a dish ismicrowave-safe,use this test: Place in the ovenboth the dish you are testing anda glass measuring cup filled withFXSRIZDWHU³VHWWKHPHDVXULQJcup either in or next to the dish.Microwave 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 inthe cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe. Oversized food or oversized metal cookware should notbe used in a microwave/convection oven because theyincrease the risk of electricshock and could cause a fire. Sometimes the oven floor, turntable and wallscan become too hot to touch. Be careful touching thefloor, turntable and walls during and after cooking. If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, makesure it is safe for use in microwave ovens. Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled papertowels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metalflecks which may cause arcingor ignite. Paper products containing nylonor nylon filaments should be avoided, as theymay also ignite. Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packagedon) have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom.When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of theoven or ignite a paper towel.

This will cause overheating ofthe microwave/convection oven. Do not use your microwave/convection oven to drynewspapers. Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwaveovens. Check the package for proper use. Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap canbe used to cover dishes in order to retain moistureand prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap sosteam can escape. Do not use paper products when the microwave/convection oven is operated in the convection orcombination mode. Cookware may become hot because of heat transferredfrom the heated food. Pot holdersmay be needed to handle the cookware. When microwaving “Boilable” cooking pouches andtightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced orvented as directed by package. If they are not, plasticcould burst during or immediately after cooking, possiblyresulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers shouldbe at least partially uncovered because they form a tightseal. When cooking with containers tightly covered withplastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steamaway from hands and face. Use foil only as directed in this manual.TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than3/4shigh; remove the top foil cover and return the trayto the box. When using foil in the microwave oven, keepthe foil at least 1s away from the sides of the oven.3ODVWLFFRRNZDUH³3ODVWLFFRRNZDUHGHVLJQHGIRUmicrowave cooking is very useful, but should be usedcarefully.
