Practical Hints 

(continued)

Ceramic Tray

1. Do not operate the oven without the Roller Ring and Ceramic Tray in place.
2. Only use Ceramic Tray specifically designed for this oven. Do not substitute any other Ceramic Tray.
3. If Ceramic Tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water.
4. Do not cook directly on Ceramic Tray unless otherwise indicated. Always place food in a microwave-safe

dish, or on a rack set in a microwave-safe dish.

5. Ceramic Tray can rotate in either direction.
6. If food or utensil on Ceramic Tray touches the oven walls, causing the tray to stop moving, the tray will

automatically rotate in the opposite direction. This is normal.

5) CERAMIC TRAY / COOKING UTENSILS / FOIL

Cooking utensils get hot during cooking. Use
potholders when removing utensils and Glass
Tray from the oven or when removing lids or
plastic wrap covers from cooking utensils to
avoid burns.

Ceramic Tray will get hot during cooking. It
should be allowed to cool before handling or
before paper products, such as paper plates,
napkins or microwave popcorn bags, are placed
in the oven for microwave cooking.

During cooking, heat is transferred from the hot
food to the cooking utensil and from the utensil
to Ceramic Tray. Ceramic Tray can be very hot
after removing cooking utensils from oven.

When using foil, skewers, warming rack or
utensils made of metal in the oven, allow at least
1-inch (2.5 cm) of space between metal material
and interior oven walls. If arcing occurs
(sparking) remove metal material (skewers etc.)
and/or transfer to a non-metallic container.

Dishes with metallic trim should not be used
during Microwave or 

Combination

cooking,

arcing may occur.

6) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS

Do not use paper towels or cloths which contain
a synthetic fiber woven into them. The synthetic
fiber may cause the towel to ignite.

Do not use paper bags or recycled paper
products in the microwave oven.

7) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS

Microwave browning dishes or grills are
designed for microwave cooking only. Preheating
times vary depending on the size of the
browning dish and food being cooked. Always
follow instructions provided by the browning dish
or grill manufacturer. Do not preheat browning
dish more than 8 minutes.

If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave
cooking, prepare according to package
directions. Do not use wire twist-tie to close bag.
Instead use nylon tie, a piece of cotton string or
a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make
six 

1

/

2

-inch slits by closure. Place oven cooking

bag in a dish slightly larger than the food being
cooked.

8) THERMOMETERS

Do not use a conventional meat thermometer for
Microwave or Combination cooking. Arcing may
occur. Do not use a microwave meat
thermometer for Combination cooking or Bake. It
may melt.

9) BABY FORMULA / FOOD

Do not heat baby formula or food in the
microwave oven. The glass jar or surface of the
food may appear warm while the interior can
burn the infant’s mouth and esophagus.

10) REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS

When reheating pastry products, check
temperatures of any fillings before eating. Some
foods have fillings which heat faster and can be
extremely hot while the surface remains warm to
the touch (ex. Jelly Donuts).

11) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES / OVEN

DOOR

Do not use the oven for any reason other than
the preparation of food.

Do not leave oven unattended while in use.

The oven door and the interior walls will get hot
during Combination, Bake and Broil cooking.
