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

_{;_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.
