Do you speak Spanish? Please vote.
Hey ladies! I really need your help.
I am working on a new product that is a printed plastic bag that you can put food inside. On the printed side of the bag, I need to write "Microwave this side up" in both English and Spanish.
What is the correct way to write this in Spanish?
My big issues are the verb tense (Poner/Ponga), how to refer to the microwave (singular/plural) and also do I need the pronoun con.
If none of my options are correct, please let me know the correct version.
TIA

None are correct. The below are variations...
Este lado hacia arriba en el microondas.
Ponga este lado hacia arriba en el microondas.

Thanks for the two suggestions. What is the difference between the two?

You're welcome!
The first one is literal. "This side up in the microwave" the second is not literal and translates to (literally) "Put this side up in the microwave". Both make sense and are gramatically correct.
