Do not use the following cooking utensils:
• Do not use metal pans or dishes with metal handles.
• Do not use any utensils with metal trims.
• Do not use melamine dishes as they contain a material which will absorb microwave
energy. This may cause the dishes to crack or char and will slow down the cooking speed.
• Do not cook in a container with a restricted opening, such as a pop bottle or salad oil
bottle, as they may explode if heated in a microwave oven.
• Do not use conventional meat or candy thermometers. There are thermometers
specifically designed for microwave cooking. These may be used.
• Do not use glass jars and bottles. Make sure there is no metallic trim. Regular glass is too
thin to be used in a microwave oven and can shatter. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
• Do not use paper bags. There is a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags which are
designed for microwave use.
• Do not use plastic containers or materials such as margarine tubs which can melt in the
microwave oven.
• Do not use non enamelled earthenware since they absorb the microwave energy.
• Do not use aluminium trays which may cause arcing. Always transfer food into a
microwave-safe dish.
• Do not use wooden utensils since wood dries out when used in the microwave oven and
may split or crack.
Care and Cleaning
• Turn off the oven and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the
oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. The use of harsh detergents or abrasives is not
recommended.
• The outer surface of the oven should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage of
the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation
openings.
• Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean it with a soft damp cloth. Do not use
detergents, abrasives or spray on cleaners on the control panel.
• If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth.
This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in
no way indicates malfunction of the unit.
• Do not use the oven if you have not placed the glass tray in the proper position.
• It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm
sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
