Microwave utensil guide
Use
Do not use
Oven proof glass (specifically treated for high intensity heat): Utility
dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups,
casseroles and bowls without metallic trim.
China: Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.
Plastic: Plastic must be rated as microwave-safe. Plastic wrap (as a cover) –
lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent
plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to
escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch
the food. Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic
bags for short cooking times. Use these with care because the plastic may
soften from the heat of the food. Look for the manufacturer’s label for any
special instructions for use in the microwave oven.
Paper: Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins and paper plates with no
metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturer’s label for any special
instructions for use in the microwave oven.
Metal utensils: Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces
uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal
utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.
Metal decoration: Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters with metallic trim.
Aluminum foil: Avoid aluminum foil.
Wood: Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use
them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react in the same way.
Tightly covered utensils: Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from
covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items
before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode. Look for the
manufacturer’s label for any special instructions for use in the microwave
oven.
Brown paper: Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.
Flawed or chipped cooking utensils: Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or
chipped may break in the oven.
Metal twist ties: Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They
become hot and could cause a fire.

For best results, do not use one of the Sensor Cook categories twice in
succession on the same food portion. This may result in severely overcooked or
burnt food. If the food appears to be undercooked, use one of the Easy Set
pads or cook time pads to add more time.
Additional sensor cook suggestions are:
Never start with less than 4 oz. of food.
Use proper containers and covers for best sensor cooking results.
Notes concerning sensor reheat:
Y For casseroles, add 2 – 3 tablespoons of liquid, cover with lid or vented
plastic wrap. Stir when instructed from display.
Y For canned foods, empty contents of can into a casserole dish or serving
bowl. Cover dish with lid or vented plastic wrap. Let stand a few minutes
before serving.
Y For plates of food, arrange food on plate and add any butter or gravies,
etc. Cover with loose-fitting lid or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let
stand a few minutes be.
Always use microwave-safe containers. Never use tight sealing plastic containers. They will prevent steam from escaping and this will mislead the sensor, usually causing the food to overcook.
Suppose you want to reheat dinner plate. 1. Press Reheat pad. 2. Press START/+30sec pad.
Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the cavity of the microwave
oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Excessive moisture turning into
steam that does not result from the food cooking can mislead the sensor.

Care & Cleaning
Cleaning suggestions
For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and
outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven frame free of
food and grease buildup.
Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave
oven inside and out with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent
solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.
Wipe splatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking
greasy foods like chicken or bacon.
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your microwave oven:
Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids
can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild detergent. DO NOT
use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add
the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven smelling fresh) in a 4 cup
measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in
oven cavity for 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity or
tray. To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle with care and do
not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable tray with
mild detergent.
Clean the outside surface of the microwave with mild detergent and a clean
damp cloth. Dry with a clean soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating
parts of the oven, do not let water seep into any vents or openings.
Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft
clean cloth to avoid scratching.
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth.
Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way
indicates microwave leakage.
Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity; this can damage the
magnetron tube or glass tray.

possible easy solutions to some common problems.
Neither the microwave’s display or oven operates Properly insert the plug into
a grounded power outlet. Remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds,
then plug the microwave in again.
Checkthe household circuit breaker. Plug the microwave into a different power
outlet.
The oven display works, but the oven will not operate Make sure the oven door
is closed securely and completely.
Check to see if packing material or other materials are stuck to the door
seal.
Check for damage to the oven door. Contact service if dented.
Press the STOP pad twice and attempt to re-enter cooking instruc tions.
Plug the microwave into a different power outlet.
The power goes off before the cook time has elapsed –
If there has been a power interruption, remove the plug from the outlet; wait
10 seconds, then plug the microwave in again. If there was a power outage, the
time indicator in the display will show 00:00.
Reset the clock and any cooking instructions.
Check the household circuit breaker.
Press the STOP pad twice and attempt to re-enter cooking instructions.
Plug the microwave into a different power outlet.
Food is cooking too slowly Make sure the oven is on a separate 20 amp circuit
line. Operating another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage
drop.
You see sparks or arcing Remove any metallic utensils, cookware or metal ties
from the oven cavity.
The turntable makes noises or sticks –
Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven cavity bottom.
Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.
Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference –
This is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances, such as
hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other appliances.
Please note: If the oven is set to cook for more than 30 minutes at 100% power level, it will automatically adjust itself to a 80% power level after 30 minutes to avoid overcooking.
