WARNING
!
FOOD
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 boil eggs in a microwave oven.
Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will
cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
Operating the microwave with no food inside
for more than a minute or two may cause
damage to the oven and could start a re. it
increases the heat around the magnetron and
can shorten the life of the oven.
Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as
potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and
egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to
escape during cooking.
SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water, coee, 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.
Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta)
may tend to boil more rapidly than foods
containing less moisture. Should this occur,
refer to the Care and Cleaning of the
Microwave Oven section for instructions on
how to clean the inside of the oven.
Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even
with the lid o. 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 (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 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 catch re, causing damage to
your oven.
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly―meat to
at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F
(71°C) and poultry to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 180°F (82°C). Cooking to
these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
