WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
1. Briskly stir or pour liquids before heating
to prevent spontaneous boiling or
eruption. Do not overheat.
If air is not
mixed into a liquid, liquid can erupt in
oven or after removal from oven.
2. Do not heat sealed containers or plastic
bags in oven. Food or liquid could
expand quickly and cause container or
bag to break. Pierce or open container
or bag before heating.
Caution
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
1. If food smokes or ignites:
·Do not open door.
·Push reset to turn oven off.
·Disconnect power cord.
·Shut off power at fuse or circuit breaker.
2. Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could
overheat and be hazardous to handle.
3. Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or
with an unbroken yolk. Pressure may
buildup and erupt. Pierce yolk with a
fork or knife before cooking.
4. Use only popcorn in packages designed
and labeled for microwave use. Pop

beginning with the minimum amount of
time recommended. Do not continue to
heat after popping has stopped.
Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not
