MICROWAVE OVEN
• Read and follow the specific “Precautions to
Avoid Possible Exposure To Excessive
Microwave Energy” section.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
—Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance if paper, plastic or other combustible
materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.
—Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
containers before placing bags in oven.
—Do not use your microwave oven to dry
newspapers.
—Do not use recycled paper products.
Recycled paper towels, napkins and wax paper
can contain metal flecks which may cause
arcing or fire. Paper products containing
nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided,
as they may also ignite.
—Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven
unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory
or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
—Do not overcook potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to
your oven.
—Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid
damage to the oven and the danger of fire. If by
accident the oven should run empty a minute or
two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid
operating the oven empty at any time—it saves
energy and prolongs the life of the oven.
—Do not use the oven for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
—If materials inside the oven should ignite,
keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and
disconnect the power cord, or shut off power
at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is
opened, the fire may spread.
• Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers—for example, closed jars—
will explode and should not be heated in this
microwave oven. Such use of the microwave
oven could result in injury.
• This microwave oven is not approved or tested
for marine use.
• 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
or breast milk. The container may feel cooler than
the milk really is. Always test the milk before
feeding the baby.
• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure
will build up inside the egg yolk and will cause it
to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
• Foods with unbroken outer “skin”
such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.
• Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-
necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages).
Even if the container is opened, pressure can build
up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
• Use metal only as directed in this guide.
TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less
than 3/4 inch high; remove the top foil cover and
return tray to box. When using metal in the
microwave oven, keep metal at least one inch
away from sides of oven.
• Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may
be needed to handle the cookware.
• The oven floor can become too hot to touch. Be
careful touching the floor during and after cooking.
• Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend
to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less
moisture. Allow the container to stand in the oven
for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has shut off.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that,
in the remote possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be killed and the
meat will be safe to eat.
