“FWECAlJTlC)fW3TO AV61D
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE lvliCROWAVE
ENERGY” found on page 2.

e This appliance must be
grounded. Connect only to

properly grounded outlet. See
“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS”
found on page 9.

@ For best operation, plug this

6 Plastic LJtensils-Plastic

utensils designed for microwave
cooking are very useful, but
should be used carefully. Even
microwave plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking condi-

tions 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 utensils could ignite. For
these reasons: 1) Use micro­wave plastics only “and use
them” in strict compliance with

the utensil manufacturer’s

mendations. 2) Do not

tempty utensils to micro­wa~ing. 3) !% not permit children
to use plastic utensils without
complete supervision.

@ When cooking
our directions exactly and
always cook the meat to at least
170°. 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.

“skin”such as potatoes, hot

as directed in Cookbook. If they
are not, plastic could burst dur-

ing 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
