IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennae).
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold-rimmed dishes, in the microwave.
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.
• Only cook popcorn in your microwave oven using a special microwave popcorn accessory dish, unless you
use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.
• Some products- such as whole eggs (with shell), sealed containers, and closed jars - will explode and
should not be heated in this microwave oven. Heating these products in the microwave oven could result in
injury.
• 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.
• Operating the microwave with no food inside may cause damage to the oven and could start a fire. It
increases the heat around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the oven.
• Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and
other giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape before cooking.
ARCING
If you see arcing, press the “START/STOP” button and correct the problem.

SAFETY FACT:
SUPERHEATED WATER
Microwaved water and other liquids do not always
bubble when they reach the boiling point; they can
actually get superheated and not bubble at all.
Superheated liquid can bubble up when it is moved or
when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.
To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do
not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per cup.
After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for
30 seconds before moving it or putting anything into
it.
• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the
lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly
cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be
careful to prevent scalding when warming formula.
The container may feel cooler than the milk really is.
Always test the milk before feeding the baby.
• Spontaneous boiling- Under certain circumstances,
liquids may start to boilduring or shortly after
removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns
from splashing liquid, we recommend the following:
Before removing the container from the oven, allow
the container to stand in the the oven for 30 to 40
containers such as soft drink bottles, wine flasks and
especially narrow-necked coffee cups. Even if the
container is opened, excessive steam can build up and
cause it to burst or overflow.
• 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.
• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful
when opening any containers of hot food, including
popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent
possible injury, direct steam away from hands and
face.
• Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and
catch fire, causing damage to your oven.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly- meat to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F (71.1°C), and
poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of
180°F (82.2°C). Cooking to these temperatures
usually protects against food borne illness.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven
is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casserole,
cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery
or china dinnerware which do not have metallic trim or
glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some
cookware will be labeled “suitable for microwaving”.
• If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make
sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
• Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper
towels, napkins, and waxed paper can contain metal
flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper
products containing nylon or nylon filament should
be avoided, as they may also ignite.
• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave
ovens. Check the package for proper use.
• Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is
packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded in
the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn
the floor of the oven, or ignite a paper towel.
• Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be
needed to handle the cookware.
• “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, plastic storage containers should be at
least partially uncovered because they form a tight
seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered
with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and
direct steam away from hands and face.
• Paper towels, waxed paper, and plastic wrap can be
used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and
prevent splattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so
steam can escape.
How to test for a microwave-safe dish:
1) Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and
a glass measuring cup filled with1 cup of water.
2) Set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish.
3) Microwave 1 minute on high power.
If the dish heats, it should not be used for
microwaving. If the dish remains cool and only the
water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwavesafe.
• Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV dinners
may be microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4”
high; remove the top foil cover and return the tray
to the box. When using foil in the microwave, keep
the foil at least 1 inch away from the sides of the
oven.
• 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 and ceramic
materials, and may soften or char if subjected to
short periods of over-cooking. In longer exposure to
over-cooking, the food and cookware could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
1) Use Microwave-safe plastics only and use them in
strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations.
2) Do not microwave empty containers.
3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision.
