IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Briskly stir or pour liquids before heating with
microwave energy to prevent spontaneous boiling or
eruption. Do not overheat. If air is not mixed
into a liquid, liquid can erupt in oven or after removal
from oven.
2. Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and
be hazardous to handle.
3. Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an
unbroken yolk using microwave energy.
Pressure may build up and erupt.
Pierce yolk with fork or knife before cooking.
4. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar
foods before cooking with microwave energy.
When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
5. Do not operate equipment without load or food in
oven cavity.
6. Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeled for microwave use. Popping time varies
depending on oven wattage. Do not continue to heat
after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or
burn. Do not leave oven unattended.

Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and
may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or
damage to oven.

other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could
melt and cause paper to ignite.
