IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, cont.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
1. Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat
and be hazardous to handle.
2. Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an
unbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure
may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or
knife before cooking.
3. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes and similar
foods before cooking with microwave energy.
When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
4. Do not operate oven without load or food in oven
cavity.
5. Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeled for microwave use. Popping time varies
depending on oven wattage. Do not continue to
heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will
scorch or burn. Do not leave unattended.
6. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven.
Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and
may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or dam-
age to oven.
7. Do not use metal utensils in oven.
8. Never use paper, plastic or other combustible
materials that are not intended for cooking.
9. When cooking with paper, plastic or other com-
bustible materials, follow manufacturer’s recom-
mendations for product use.
10. Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or
other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could
melt and cause paper to ignite.
11. Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in
oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and
cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open
container or bag before cooking.
12. To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physi-
cian or pacemaker manufacturer about effects of
microwave energy on pacemaker.
CAUTION
Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appear-
ing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid.
Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not always
present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQ-
UIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A
SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO
THE LIQUID.To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
1. Do not overheat the liquid.
2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
3. Do not use straight-sided containers with nar-
row necks.
4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before remov-
ing the container.
5. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the container.
WARNING
CAUTION

a. DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend appli-
ance if paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside the oven to facili-
tate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing bag in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven should ignite,
KEEP OVEN DOOR CLOSED, turn oven off,
