Troubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Instructions
■ “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, possibly resulting
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 plastic
wrap, remove covering
carefully and direct steam
away from hands and face.
■ Use foil only as directed
in this manual. When using
foil in the microwave oven,
keep the foil at least 1″ away
from the sides of the oven.
■ Plastic cookware – Plastic
cookware designed for
microwave 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 or char if subjected
to short periods of
overcooking. In longer
exposures to overcooking,
the food and cookware
could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
Use microwave-safe
plastics only and
use them in strict
compliance with
the cookware
manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Do not microwave
empty containers.
Do not permit children
to use plastic cookware
without complete
supervision.
