MICROWAVING TIPS
• 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 measuring
cup filled with one
cup of water--set the measuring cup either in or
next to the dish. Microwave 1 minute 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.
• Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap
can be used to cover dishes in order to retain
moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent
plastic wrap so steam can escape.
• Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating
or rearran_jnp_ Check the Cookbook supplied.
• Steam builds up pressure in foods which are
tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce
potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent
bursting.
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make
sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
AUTOMATIC FAN FEATURE
Cooking appliances installed under the oven may, under some heavy usage
conditions, cause temperatures high enough to overheat some internal parts
of the microwave oven.
To prevent overheating from taking place, the exhaust fan is designed
to automatically turn on at a low speed if excessive temperatures occur.
Should this happen, the fan cannot be manually turned off, but it will
automatically turn off when the internal parts have cooled. The fan may
stay on up to approximately 30 minutes after the range and microwave
oven controls have been turned off.
