Operating Safety Precautions
using the microwave oven, follow the
-
Stir
before heating
Never cook or reheat a whole egg. Steam
build-up in whole eggs may cause them to burst
and burn you, and possibly damage the oven.
Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare
instances, poached eggs have been known to
explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a
standing time of one minute before cutting into
them.
For best results stir any liquid several times
before heating or reheating. Liquids heated in
certain containers (especially cylindrical-shaped
containers) may become overheated. The liquid
may splash out with a loud noise during or after
heating or when adding ingredients (coffee, etc.)
resulting in harm to the oven and possible
personal injury.
Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing
on it when the door is open. Injury could result.
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat
containers, but the hot food does.
