IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act
like antennas).
Do not pop popcorn in your oven unless in
a special microwave popcorn accessory or
unless you use popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers—for example, closed
jars—are able to explode and should not be
heated in this microwave oven. Such use of
the microwave oven could result in injury.
Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure will
build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to
burst, possibly resulting in injury.
Operating the microwave with no food inside
for more than a minute or two may cause
damage to the oven and could start a fire.
It increases the heat around the magnetron
and can shorten the life of the oven.
Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as
potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and
egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam
to escape during cooking.
Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even
with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is
thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the
heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding
when warming formula. The container may
feel cooler than the formula really is. Always
test the formula before feeding the baby.
Don't defrost frozen beverages in narrow-
necked bottles (especially carbonated
beverages). Even if the container is open,
pressure can build up. This can cause the
container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
Countertop Microwave Oven
Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or
gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.
Recycled paper towels containing small
metal pieces being used in the oven
SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea, are
able to be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing to be boiling. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not
always present. THIS COULD RESULT
IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY
BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER
IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
— Do not overheat the liquid.
— Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
— Do not use straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.
— After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for a short
time before removing the container.
— Use extreme care when inserting
a spoon or other utensil into the
container.
Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be
careful when opening any containers of
hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking
pouches and boxes. To prevent possible
injury, direct steam away from hands and
face.
Do not overcook potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to
your oven.
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of
160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
