materials inside oven should ignite,

keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

●

Some products such as whole eggs and sealed

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 foil only as directed in this book.

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 oven,

keep it at least 1 inch away from the sides

of the 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

comphance

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,

temperature of at least

follow the directions

cook the meat to an internal

170°F.

This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and 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.

●

Foods with unbroken outer

“skin”

sausages, tomatoes, apples,

such as potatoes,

chicken livers and other giblets, and

egg

yolks (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

●

Sometimes, the turntable can become too hot

to touch.

Be careful touching the turntable 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.

●

Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in

microwave ovens.

Check the package for

proper use.
