   • Do not use metal pans or dishes with metal handles.
   • Do not use anything with metal trim.
   • Do not use paper-covered wire twist-ties on plastic bags.
   • Do not use melamine dishes as they contain a material that will absorb microwave energy. This may cause the dishes to crack or char and will slow down the cooking speed.
   • Do not use Centura Tableware. The glaze is not suitable for microwave use. Corelle Livingware closed-handle cups should not be used.
   • Do not cook in a container with a restricted opening, such as a pop bottle or sealed oil bottle, as they may explode if heated in a microwave oven.
   • Do not use conventional meat or candy thermometers.
   • There are thermometers available specifically for microwave cooking. These may be used.
9. Microwave utensils should be used only according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
10. Do not attempt to deep-fry foods in this oven.
11. Please remember that a microwave oven only heats the liquid in a container rather than the container itself. Therefore, even though the lid of a container is not hot to the touch when removed from the oven, please remember that the food/liquid inside will be releasing the same amount of steam and/or spitting when the lid is removed as in conventional cooking.
12. Always test the temperature of cooked food yourself especially if you are heating or cooking food/liquid for babies. It is advisable never to consume food/liquid straight from the oven but allow it to stand for a few minutes and stir food/liquid to distribute heat evenly.
13. Food containing a mixture of fat and water, e.g.stock, should stand for 30-60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to settle and to prevent bubbling when a spoon is placed in the food/liquid or a stock cube is added.
14. When preparing/cooking food/liquid remember that there are certain foods, e.g. Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat, which heat up very quickly. When heating or cooking foods with a high fat or sugar content do not use plastic containers.
15. Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
    • Do not overcook food. Carefully attend microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
    • Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing the bag in the oven.
    • If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off at the wall switch, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
