SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea, are able to
be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling.
Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER
WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of ii/jury to persolls:
-- Do not overheat the
liquid.
-- Stir the liquid both

through heating it.
-- Do not use straight-
sided containers with
narrow necks.
--Alter heating, allow the
container to stand in

-- Use extreme care when
inserting a spoon or other utensil into the

Don't deflost flozen beverag'es ill llarrow-

Defrosting Bps
Foods ti'ozen in paper or

Family-size, prepackagvd fi'ozen dinners can be

containe_, transt>r it to a microwave .-sate dish.
Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fsh, stuffings, poult_ y and pork, should
not be allowed to sit out lot more than one hour
after deflosting. Room tempeFature promotes the growth of harmfifl bacteria.
For more even deti'osting of larg>r ti)ods, such as beef,

The reusable grease filter traps grease released by toods on the cooktop. It also prevents flames flom toods on the cooktop ti'om damaging the inside of
the microwave.
Models that recirculate air back into the room also use a charcoal fiher.
For this reason, the filter must AIMA_% be in place
when the hood is used.
The grease filter should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.
To remove, slide it to the side using the tab. Pull it
down and out.
To clean the grease filter, soak it and then swish it
around in hot water and detergent. Don't use
