SAFETY mSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

containers—for example, closed jars—will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury.

●

Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even

without their

lids;

especially meat and egg

mixtures,

●

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.

●

Use metil only as directed in this book. TV

dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4” high; remove top foil cover and return tray to box. When using metal in the microwave oven,

keep metal at least 1 inch away from sides of oven.

●

Cookware may become hot

because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.

Plastic cookwar~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 or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In

longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.

●

When cooking pork, follow the directions

exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least

170°F.

This assures that, in

the remote possibility that trichina may be present

and

in the meat, it will be killed

meat will be safe

to eat.

●

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.

. Sometimes, the oven tray can become too hot

to touch. Be careful touching the tray during and after cooking.

●

Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend

to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and Cleaning section(s) for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

●

Thermometer—Do not use a thermometer in food

you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

●

Foods with unbroken outer

“skin”

such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks (see previous

caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

. Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in

microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

●

Spontaneous boiling—Under

certain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or

shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, stir the liquid briefly before removing the container from the microwave oven.

A. The oven will automatically rearrange your

program. Defrosting will always come first, then hold, and then the cooking function.

Q. Can I defrost and hold only?

A. Yes. Sometimes you may only want to defrost a

food, hold it, and cook it later. All you need to do is program in defrost and amount of time. Then program the hold time. Be sure to put the thawed dish in the refrigerator promptly.

the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. (Fig. 1)

Use of Adapter Plugs

WARNING–Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician

the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected infrequently.

Because of potential safety

hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.

However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made

use of a

listed adapter (Fig. 2) which is available at

Caution:

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not

done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug

frequent disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.
