IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of California to

publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during

the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

_fi:,:Plastic cookware - Plastic cookware

designed for microwaxe cooking is xerv
useflll, but should be used caIeflllly.

Exert microwaxe-satb 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, tile food

and cookware could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

[] Use microwaxe-safe plastics only and

use them in suict compliance with

the cookware manut_acturer's
recommendations.

[] Do not microwme empty containers.
[] Do not permit children to use

plastic cookware without complete
super\ ision.

ARCING

If you see arcing press the CLEAR/OFFpad and correct the problem.

q_{_Metal, such as twist-ties, poultIy' pins or

g_ld-rimmed dishes, in the microwaxe.

_{;_Recycled paper towels containing small

metal pieces being used in tile microwme.

SUPERHEATEDWATER

Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point.

They can actuafly get superheated and not bubble at all

Superheated liquid will bubble up out of the
cup when it is moved or when something
like a spoon or ma bag is put into it.

To prevent this flom happening and causing

injury, do not heat ally liquid fLn"more than

2 minutes per cup.

After heating, let the cup stand ill the

microwave for 30 seconds before moving it
or putting anything into it.

Spontaneousboiling

Under certain special circumstances, liquids

may start to boil during or shortly after removal

from the microwave oven.

To prexent burns fiom splashing liquid, we
recommend tile fbllowing befbre remoxqng

the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary20-40 degrees.

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you

decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. Thelower the fat

content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards reqlfire products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% lilt by weight, ixmqht spreads, on the
