oven door closed,turn oven off, anddisconnect
power cord,orshutoff"power atthefuse or
circuitbreaker panel.
• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers--for example, closed jars-will
explode and shouldnot be heated in this
microwave overt. Such use of the microwave
oven could result in injury,
.Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even
without their lids; especially meat and egg
mixtures.
,Don't defrost frozenbeverages in narrow
necked bottles(especially carbonated beverages).
Even if the container is opened, pressure canbuild
up, This can cause the container to burst, possibly
resulting ininjury,
•Use foil onlyas directed in this book, TV
dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than
3/4" high; remove the top foil cover and return the
tray to the box. When using foil in the microwave
oven, keep the foil (other than metal shelf) at
least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.
,_ .Cookware may become hot becauseof heat transferred from the heated
food. Pot holders may be needed to
handle the cookware,
.Foods cooked in liquids(such as pasta) maytend
to boil over more rapidly than foods containing
less moisture. Shouldthis occur, refer to the Care
andCleaning section(s)for instructions on how to
clean the inside oftheoven.
.Thermometer-Do not use a thermometer in
food you aremicrowaving unless the thermometer
is designed or recommended for use in the
microwave oven;
.Remove the temperature probe from the oven
when not using it to cook with. If .you leave the
probe inside the oven withoutinserting it in food
or liquid, and turn onmicrowave energy, it can
create electricalarcing in the oven anddamage
oven walls.
.Plastic cookware---Plasticcookware designed
for microwave cooking is very useful, but should
be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic
may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions
asare glass or ceramic materials and may
soften or char if subjected to short periods of
overcooking. Inlonger exposures to overcooking,
the food and cookware could ignite. For these
reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe plastics onlyand
use them in s!rict compliance with the cookware
manufacturer s recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty cookware to microwaving.
3) Do notpermit children to use plastic
cookware without complete supervision.
.When cooking pork, followthe directions
exactly and always cook the meat to aninternal
temperature of at least 170°1:.Thisassures that,
in the remote possibility that trichina maybe
present in the meat,itwill be killed and meat
willbe safe to eat.
• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure
will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to
burst, possibly resulting in injury.
.Foods with unbroken outer "skin"
such aspotatoes, sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and e yolks(see previous
caution)shou_c_bepierce_tto allow
steam to escape during cooking.
.Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use.
__] . Spontaneous boiling-Under
certain specialcircumstances,
liquids may start to boil during
or shortlyafter removal from
the microwave oven.To prevent
burns from splashing liquid, stir the
liquid briefly before removing the
