Caution
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe
the following:
1. Always press STOP/RESET before
programming 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. Pressure may build up
and erupt. Pierce yolk with a fork or knife
before cooking. Do not reheat previously
cooked eggs in the microwave oven unless
finely chopped or scrambled.
4. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, or other
foods with a "skin" before cooking in
microwave oven. This allows steam to
escape during cooking.
5. Remove excess fat from meats and
poultry to prevent splattering.
6. Do not heat baby bottles in microwave oven.
7. Do not home can in microwave oven. Home
canning is generally done with metal lids.
Since metal lids reflect heat, product may
not be heated uniformly to 212°F or above.
Food could deteriorate. USDA Extension
Specialists do not recommend home canning
in microwave ovens.
8. Briskly stir or pour liquids before heating 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.
9. All uncooked foods should be heated to a
final internal temperature of at least 165°F.
Some foods require higher temperatures.
These recommended temperatures kill most
food borne, disease causing organisms.
Some common visual signs that indicate the
cooking temperature has been reached:
• Food steams throughout, not just around
edges.
• Center bottom of dish is very hot to the
touch.
10. If using a microwave popcorn popper, use
according to manufacturer's instructions. Do
not continue to heat after popping has
stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do
not leave oven unattended.
11. Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeled for microwave use. Pop according
to package directions, beginning with the
minimum amount of time recommended.
Use caution when handling hot popcorn
bag.
