• Spontaneous boiling—Under cer-
tain special circumstances, liquids
may start to boil during or shortly
after removal from the microwave
oven. To prevent burns from
splashing liquid, we recommend
the following: before removing the
container from the oven, allow the
container to stand in the oven for
30 to 40 seconds after the oven has
shut off. Do not boil liquids in nar-
row-necked containers such as soft
drink bottles, wine flasks and espe-
cially narrow-necked coffee cups.
Even if the container is opened,
excessive steam can build up and
cause it to burst or overflow.
• 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 result-
ing 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 fire,
causing damage to your oven.
• When cooking pork, follow the
directions exactly and always
cook the meat to an internal tem-
perature of at least 170°F. This
assures that, in the remote possi-
bility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and
meat will be safe to eat.
Do not boil liquids in narrow-
necked containers.
