used.Somecookwure is labeled "suitable for microwuving."
[] Ifyou are not sure if u dish is microwave-safe, use this test:
Placein the oven both the dishyou are testing and a glass
measuring cup filled with I cup of water-set the measuring
cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave
30-/45seconds at high. Ifthe dish heats, it should not be used

napkins and waxed paper can contain metal fleckswhich may
cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or
nylon filaments should be avoided, us they may also ignite.
[] Some foam trays (likethose that meat is packaged on)

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 plasticwrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Checkthe package for proper use.
[] Papertowels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used to
cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent sputtering.
Besure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.
[] Cookwure may become hot because of heat transferred from
the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the
cookware.
[]
"Bailable" cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bugs
should be slit, pierced or vented us directed by package. If they
are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking,
possiblyresulting in injury.Also,plastic storage containers
should be at least partially uncovered because they form a
tight seal.When cooking with containers tightly covered with
plasticwrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away
from hands and face.
[]
Usefoil only usdirected in this guide. TVdinners may be
microwuved infoil trays lessthan 3/#' high; remove the top
foil cover and return the tray to the box.When using foil in the
microwave oven, keepthe foil at least 1"away from the sides
of the oven.

Plasticcookwure-Plustic cookware designedfor microwave
cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even
microwave-safe plastic may not be us tolerant of overcooking
conditions usare glass or ceramic materials and may soften
or char if subjected to short periodsof overcooking. In longer
exposuresto overcooking, the food and cookwure could ignite.
Follow these guidelines.
1. Usemicrowave-safe plastics only and usethem in
strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer's
recommendations.
2. Donot microwave empty containers.
3. Donot permit children to useplastic cookware without
complete supervision.
THE VENT FAN
Thefan will operate automatically under certain conditions (see
Automatic Fanfeature).Take careto prevent the starting and
spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan isin use.
[] Clean the underside of the microwave often.
Donot allow grease to build up on the microwave or the fan
filters.

agents,such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the
filters.
When preparing flaming foods under the microwave, turn the
fan on.
Never leave surface units beneath your microwave oven
