ABOUT SAFETY

Check foods to see that they are cooked to the following
recommended temperatures.
TEMP FOOD
...For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish,
160°F
seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
...For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out
165°F
"fresh" food.
170°F ...White meat of poultry.
180°F ...Dark meat of poultry.
●
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a
thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave
the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is
approved for microwave oven use.
●
ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling
utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from
the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
●
Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face
and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering
and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away
from the face.
●
Stay near the oven while it's in use and check cooking
progress frequently so that there is no chance of
overcooking food.
●
NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other
items.
●
Select store and handle food carefully to preserve its high
quality and minimize the spread of food borne bacteria.
●
Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause
arcing and/or fires.
●
Use care when removing items from the oven so that
utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety
door latches.
ABOUT UTENSILS AND
COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces
already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new
microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the
interior walls during cooking.
Should you wish to check if an utensil is safe for
microwaving:
1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water
(250ml) along with the utensil in question.
2. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute.
3. Carefully feel the utensil. If the empty utensil is warm, do
not use it for microwave cooking.
4. Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time.
