Microwave-Safe Cookware - GEA GE Profile Manual Del Propietário

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
n If you are not
sure if a dish is
microwave-safe,
use this test: Place
in the oven both
the dish you are
testing and a glass
measuring cup
filled with 1 cup of
water—set the measuring cup either in or
next to the dish. Microwave 30–45 seconds
at high. If the dish heats, it should not be
used for microwaving.
If the dish remains cool and only the
water in the cup heats, then the dish is
microwave-safe.
n Oversized food or oversized metal cookware
should not be used in a microwave/
convection oven because they increase the
risk of electric shock and could cause a fire.
n Sometimes the oven floor, turntable and
walls can become too hot to touch. Be
careful touching the floor, turntable and
walls during and after cooking.
n If you use a meat thermometer while
microwaving, make sure it is safe for use in
microwave ovens.
n Do not use recycled paper products.
Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed
paper can contain metal flecks which may
cause arcing or ignite. Paper products
containing nylon or nylon filaments should
be avoided, as they may also ignite.
n Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat
is packaged on) have a thin strip of
metal embedded in the bottom. When
microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of
the oven or ignite a paper towel.

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE

Do not operate the oven in the microwave mode without the turntable
and the turntable support seated and in place. The turntable must be
unrestricted so it can rotate. Make sure all cookware used in your microwave
oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does
not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. some
cookware is labeled "suitable for microwaving. "
how to test for a
microwave-safe dish.
n Use of the shelf accessory:
— Remove the shelf from the oven when
not in use.
— Use pot holders when handling the shelf
and cookware. They may be hot.
— Be sure that the shelf is positioned
properly inside the oven to prevent
product damage.
— Do not cover the shelf or any part of
the oven with metal foil. This will cause
overheating of the microwave/convection
oven.
n Do not use your microwave oven to dry
newspapers.
n Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use.
n Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic
wrap can be used to cover dishes in order
to retain moisture and prevent spattering
while microwaving. Be sure to vent plastic
wrap so steam can escape.
n Cookware may become hot because of
heat transferred from the heated food.
Pot holders may be needed to handle the
cookware.
n When microwaving "boilable" cooking
pouches and tightly closed plastic bags,
they 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.
