IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABOUT FOOD SAFETY
Cook foods to safe temperatures recommended by the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA). To check internal
temperature of foods to determine doneness, insert a meat
thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone.
WARNING
NEVER leave a thermometer in the food during
microwave cooking, unless the thermometer is approved for
microwave use.
USDA RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES
sh 145˚F (63˚C)
pork, ground beef/veal/lamb, egg dishes 160˚F (71˚C)
whole, pieces and ground turkey/chicken/
duck, leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated,
deli and carry-out food

NOTE:
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling
utensils in contact with hot food. 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 covering
and carefully open cooking bags and popcorn bags away
from the face.
• Stay near the appliance when it is in use and check progress
frequently to avoid overcooking food.
• NEVER use the appliance for storing cookbooks or other
items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high
quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
• Keep the waveguide cover clean, as food residue can cause
arcing and res. See WAVEGUIDE COVER on page 31.
