To reduce the risk of fire in
the oven cavity:
—Do not overcook food. Care-
fully attend appliance if paper,
plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
—Removewire twist-ties from
paper or plastic bags’before
placing bag in oven.
—-Donot useyour microwave
oven to dry newspapers.
—Do nol pop popcorn in your
microwaveovenunlessin a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you usepopcorn
labeled for usein microwave
ovens.
—Do not operatetheovenwi=dle
emptyto avoiddamageto the
ovenand the dangeroffire. If by
accident the oven should run
empty a minute or two, no harm
is
done. However,try to avoid
operating the oven empty at all
times—it savesenergy and prolongs life of the oven.
—If materials inside the oven
should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the 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
glass jars—may explode and
should not be heated in this
oven.
63 Avoid baby food in
glass jars, even without their
lids; especially meat and egg
mixtures.

resulting in injury.
@ use metalonly as directed in
Cookbook. Metal strips as used
on meat roastsare helpful when

43Cookingutensilsmay
becomehot becauseof heat
transferred from the heated
food. This is especially true if
plastic wrap has beencovering
the top and handles of the
utensil. Potholders may be
neededto handle the utensil.
~ Sometimes,the oven floor
Carlbecome too hot to touch.
Be careful touching the floor
during and after cooking.
e Do not use any thermometer
in food you are microwaving
unless that thermometer is
designed or recommended for
use in the microwave oven.
e Remove the temperature
probe from the oven when not
using it to cook with. If you leave
the probe inside the oven without
inserting it in food or liquid, and
turn on microwave energy, it can
create electrical arcing in the
oven, and damage oven walls.
4B Plastic Utensiis—Plastic
utensils designed for microwave
cooking arevery useful,but
should be used carefully. Even
microwave plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking conditions as areglassor ceramic
materialsand may softenor
char if subjected to short periods
of overcooking. In longer expo-
sures 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
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty utensils to microwaving. 3) Do not permitchildren
to use p!astic utensils without
complete su~ervision.
e When cooking pork follow
our directions exactly and
always cook the meat to at least
170°.This assuresthat, in the
remote possibility that trichina
may be present in the meat, it
will be killed and meatwill be
safeto eat.
49
Boiling eggs (in am! out d
she!!) is not recommended
microwave cooking. Pressure
can build up inside egg yolk and
may cause it to burst, resulting
in injury.
