inside
oven
sho~d
ignite, keep oven door closed, turn
oven off, and disconnect power
cord, or shutoff power at the
fise
or circuit breaker panel.
●
Some
products such as whole
eggs and sealed
con~iners-for
example, closed
jars-w~
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.
●
DonJt
defrost
frozen
beverages
in narrow necked
bottles (especially carbonated
beverages). Even if the container
is opened, pressure can buildup.
This can cause the container to
burst, possibly resulting in injury.
●
Use
metil
ody
as directed in
this
book and the cookbook
provided.
TV
dinners maybe
microwaved in foil trays less than
3/4” high; remove top
fofi
cover
and return tray to box. When
using metal in the microwave
oven,
keep metil (other than
meti
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.
Q
Sometimes, the oven floor can
become too hot to
touch.
Be
careful touching the floor during
and after cooking.
c
Foods cooked in liquids
(such
as pasta) may tend to boil over
more rapidy than
M
contig
less moisture. Should this occur,
refer to page 19
fir
instructions on
how

INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
●
Thermometer—Do not use
a thermometer in
food you
are
microwaving
u~ess
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 cookware—Plastic
cookware designed
for microwave
cooking is very useful, but should
be
usd
-filly.
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 overcooking.
ln
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.
s
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.
.
~~Boilable”
cooking pouches
and tightly closed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed by package. If they are
not, plastic could burst during
or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
pktic
storage containers
shodd
be
at
lwt
partidy
uncovered because
they form a tight seal. When
cooking with containers tightly
coverd with plastic wrap, remove
covering
caretifly
and
directs-
away from hands and face.
Q
Spontaneous boiling—Under
certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during or
shortly after removal from the
microwave oven. To prevent burns
from splashing liquid, stir the
liquid briefly before removing the
container
fmm
the microwave oven.
