beverages
in
nm
necked
boties
(especiWy
carbonated beverages).
Even
if
the
container is opened, pressure
can
build
up. This
can
cause the
container to burst, resulting in
injury.
Use
metal
only as directed in
cookbook. TV dinners maybe
microwaved in foil trays
less
than
3/4” high;
remove
top foil cover
and return tray to box. When
using
metal
in
microwave oven,
keep
rneti
(other
than
metal
shelfl
at least l-inch away
from
sides of oven.
Cooking utensils
may
become
hot
because of
heat
transferred
from the heated
food.
Pot
holders
may be needed to handle the
utensil.
*
Sometimes,
the
oven floor can
become too hot to touch.
Be
careful touching the floor during
and
after
cooking.
*
Foods cooked
in
liqui&
(such
as pasta) may tend to boil over
more
rapidy
than
Ws
containing
less moisture.
Shodd
this occur,
refer to page

for instructions on
how to clean the inside of
the
oven.

Thermometer-Do not use a
thermometer
in
tied you are
rnicmving
urdess
the
thermome@r
is designed or recommended for
use in the microwave oven.
Remove the temperature
probe from the oven when not
using it to cook
with,
If
you
leave
the probe inside the oven without
inserting it in food or liquid, and
turn on microwave energy, it can
create electrical arcing in
the
oven and damage oven walls.
PWic
utensils-Plastic utensils
designed for microwave cooking
are very useful, but should be
used carefully. Even microwave
plastic may not be as tolerant of
overcooking conditions as are
glass or ceramic materials and
may soften
or
char if subjected to
short periods of overcooking. In
longer exposures to overcooking,
the food and utensils could ignite.
For these reasons: 1)
Use
microwave
plastics only and use them in
strict compliance with the utensil
manufacturer’s recommendations.
2) Do not subject empty utensils
to microwaving. 3) Do not permit
children to use plastic utensils
without complete supervision.
When cooking pork,
follow
our directions exactly and always
cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at
least
170°F.
This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be killed
and meat will be
safe
to eat.
Boiling eggs is not
recommended in a microwave
oven. Pressure can
bufid
up inside
egg yolk and may cause it to burst,
resulting in injury.
Q
Foods with unbroken outer
“skin”
such as
potitoes,
sausages,
tomatoes, apples, chicken livers
and other giblets, and egg yolks
(see previous caution) should be
pierced to allow steam to escape
during
cooking.

~$Bofiabl~”
cooking
~uchm
and tightly
cIosed
plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed in cookbook. If they
are not, plastic could burst during
or immediately
aRer
cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should
beat least partially
uncover~
because they form a tight seal.
When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering
carefu~y
and direct
steam away from hands and
face.
.
spontaneous
boiling—Under
certain special circumstances,
liquids may
start
to boil during
or shortly after removal from the
microwave oven.
To
prevent bums
from splashing liquid, stir the
liquid briefly before removing
the
container from the microwave oven.

Use of
the shelf accessory.
—kmove
the shelf from oven
when not in use.
–Do not store or cook with shelf
on floor of
oven.
Product damage
may result.
–Use pot holders to handle the
shelf and
utensfis.
They maybe
hot.
–Do not use microwave browning
dish on shelf; the
shelf
could
overheat.
Have it
installed and properly
grounded by a
qu~fied
installer.
See the special instigation
booMet
packed with the microwave oven.
The exhaust fan in
your oven
will operate automatically
under certain conditions (see
Automatic Fan Feature, page
6). While the fan is operating,
caution is required to prevent
the starting and spreading of
accidental cooking fires
while
the exhaust fan is in use. For
this reason:
–Never leave surface units
unattended at high heat settings.
Boilover
causes smoking and
greasy
spillovers
that may ignite
and spread if vent
fa
is operating.
To minimize automatic fan
operation, use adequate sized
utensils and use high heat settings
ody
when necessary.
—In the event of a grease fire,
smother flaming pan on surface
unit by covering pan completely
with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray.
–Never
flame foods under the
oven with the vent fan operating
because it may spread the flames.
–Keep hood and grease filters
clean,
according to instructions on
pages 16 and 17, to maintain good
venting and avoid grease
fires.
