INTRODUCTION
This is not your ordinary microwave oven.
It has more – inside and out. Inside it’s
solid, nonporous, easy-to-sanitize stain
-
less steel. Outside you’ll find 25 prepro
-
grammed control options. It performs all
the standard reheating and defrosting
microwave tasks with ease, setting time
and temperature for specific items. But it
is also large enough, and smart enough,
to let you cook from scratch. Check out
the recipes for cooking fish and rice,
steaming vegetables, or roasting garlic.
And don’t miss the 2, 4 and 6 slice bacon
buttons. Cook healthier, cook faster, cook
easier… with the Cuisinart stainless steel
microwave.
IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
injury to persons or exposure to
excessive microwave oven energy when
using your appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
1.
The oven must be placed on a level
surface.
2. The glass turntable and turntable
assembly must be in the oven during
cooking. Handle the glass turntable
carefully and place cookware on it
gently to avoid possible breakage.
3. Incorrect use of browning dish may
cause the turntable to break. See
“Materials you can use in a micro
-
wave oven,” page 6.
4. Use only the correctly specified bag
size when using the preset popcorn
program.
5. The oven has several built-in safety
switches to ensure that the power
remains off when the door is open.
Do not tamper with these switches.
6. Do not operate the microwave oven
empty. Operating the oven with no
food or food that is extremely low in
moisture can cause fire, charring or
sparking.
7. Do not cook bacon directly on the
turntable. Excessive local heating of
the turntable may cause the turntable
to break.
8. Do not heat baby bottles or baby
food in the microwave oven. Uneven
heating/hotspots may occur and
could cause injury.
9. Do not heat narrow-necked contain-
ers, such as syrup bottles.
10. Do not attempt to deep-fry in your
microwave oven.
11. Do not attempt home canning in this
microwave oven, as it is impossible to
be sure all contents of the jar have
reached boiling temperature.
12. Do not use this microwave oven for
commercial purpose. This microwave
oven is made for household use only.
13. To prevent delayed eruptive boiling of
hot liquids and beverages or scalding
yourself, stir liquid before placing the
container in the oven and again half
-
way through cooking time. Let it
stand in the oven for a short time and
stir again before removing the con
-
tainer.
14. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean
condition could lead to deterioration
that could adversely affect the life of
the appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
15. Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter.
16. When cleaning door and oven surfac
-
es use only mild, nonabrasive soaps
or detergents applied with a sponge
or soft cloth.
17. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea
can heat beyond the boiling point
without appearing to be boiling. This
is called delayed eruptive boiling.
When the container is removed from
the oven, there is a danger that very
hot liquids could suddenly boiling over
when the container is disturbed or a
spoon or other utensil is inserted into
the liquid.
CONTAINERS
CAUTION: Personal Injury Hazard
Tightly-closed containers could explode.
Closed containers should be opened and
plastic pouches should be pierced before
cooking.
See the charts on pages 6 and 7 of mate

may be certain non-metallic materials
that are not safe to use for microwaving.
If in doubt, you can test the material/con
-
tainer in question following the procedure
below.
Material/Container Test:
1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1
cup of cold water (250ml) along with

er. If it is warm, do not use it for
