(continued)
—Do not overcook potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage
to your oven.

oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect
power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel,

Some
products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers—for example, closed jars—will
explode and should not be heated in this
microwave oven. Such use of the microwave
oven could result in injury.
●
Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even
without their lids; especially meat and egg
mixtures.
●
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.
●
Use metal only as directed in this book. TV
dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than
3/4” high; remove top foil cover and return tray
to box. When using metal in the microwave oven,
keep metal (other than metal
shel~
at least
1 inch away from sides of oven.

Cookware
may
become hot
because of heat transferred from
the heated food. Pot holders may
be needed to handle the
cookware.
c
Sometimes,
the glass cooking tray can become
too hot to touch.
Be careful when touching the
tray during and after cooking.
●
Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend
to boil over more rapidly than foods containing
less moisture, Should this occur, refer to the Care
and Cleaning section(s) for instructions on how to
clean the inside of the oven.
●
Thermometer—Do
not use a thermometer in
food you are microwaving unless the thermometer
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.

Plastic
cookwar*Plastic
cookware designed for
microwave cooking is very useful, but should be
used carefully. Even microwave-safe 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
overcoobng.
In
longer exposures to overcooking, the food and
cookware could ignite. For these reasons:
1) Use microwave-safe plastics only and use
them in strict compliance with the cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty cookware to microwaving.
3) Do not permit children to use plastic
cookware without complete supervision.
●
When cooking pork, follow the 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.
●
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.
●
Foods with unbroken outer
“skin” such as potatoes,
sausages, tomatoes, apples,
chicken livers and other giblets,
and egg yolks (see previous
caution) should be pierced to
allow steam to escape during
cooking.
●
Not all
plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use.
