Food
1. Do not use your oven for home canning or the
heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up
and the jar may explode. In addition, the
microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the
proper canning temperature. Improperly canned
food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
2. Small quantities of food or foods with low
moisture content can dry out, burn or catch on
fire when overheated. If a fire occurs, turn the
oven off and leave the oven door closed.
Disconnect the power cord or shut off the power
at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
3. Popcorn can be popped in a suitable,
microwaveable cornpopper using the
manufacturer’s directions OR prepackaged bags
of Microwave popcorn can be used with the
preset “Popcorn” Pad program. Always follow the
package directions.
4. Do not attempt to deep fry in your microwave
oven. Temperature cannot be controlled and fat
will erupt. Many microwave utensils cannot
withstand the temperatures of heated oil,
resulting in shattering or melting.
5. Do not boil eggs in their shell in a microwave
oven. Pressure will build up and the eggs will
explode.
6. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and whites, whole
squash and sausages are examples of foods
with nonporous skins. This type of food must be
pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting.

potatoes will still feel soft to the touch, but firm
when pierced with a fork. Overcooking causes
dehydration and may cause a fire.

not heat liquids in your microwave oven without
first stirring. Over-heated liquids will erupt.
