materials inside oven should ignite, keep
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 glass
jars—will explode and should not be heated
in this microwave oven. Such use of the
microwave/convection oven could result in injury.
Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even
without their lids; especially meat and
egg
mixtures.
When using the convection or combination
cooking functions, both the outside and inside of
the oven will become hot. Always use hot pads
to
remove containers of
food
and accessories such as
broiler pan, oven shelf and temperature probe.
Do not use paper products when the microwave
convection oven is operated in the convection or
combination mode.
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
shelfl
at least
1
inch away from sides of oven.
Thermometer—Do not use regular cooking
or oven thermometers when cooking by
microwave or combination. The metal and
mercury in these thermometers could cause
“arcing” and possible damage to the
oven.
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, dmage oven
walls and damage the temperature probe.
Plastic cookware—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 cermic materials and may soften
or char if
subiected
to short
~eriods

.
overcooking. 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.
