IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
FOODS
Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a
n
special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.
Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build
n
up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
Operating the microwave with no food inside for more
n
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
n
dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and
other giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.
SUPERHEATED WATER
n
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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to boil
n
more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should
this occur, refer to the Care and cleaning of the oven
section for instructions on how to clean the inside of the
oven.
Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid
n
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
n
(especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container
is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the
container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when
n
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
n
catch fire, causing damage to your oven.
n 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.
