IMPORTANT-SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3
* Do not cover the shelf or any other part of the
oven with metal foil. This will cause
overheating of the microwave oven.
* Cookware may
become hot
because of beat
transferred from
the heated food.
Pot holders may be
needed to handle
the cookware.
* Sometimes, the oven floor and walls can
become too hot to touch.
Be cardful touching,
the floor and walls during and after cooking.
* Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may
tend to boil over more rapidly than foods
containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer
to the Care and Cleaning section(s’) for
instructions on how to clean the inside of the
oven.
* Thermometer - Do not use a thermometer in
food you are microwaving unless the
thermometer is designed or recommended for
use in the microwave oven.
* Plastic cookware - Plastic cookware designed
for microwave cooking is very useful, but
should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe
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, the food and cookware could
ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe
plastics only and use them in strict complance
with the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty
cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit
children to use plastic cookware without
complete supervision.
* When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170˚F. 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.
* Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven.
Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will
cause it to burst possibly resulting in injury.
* Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such is
potatoes. sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken
livers and other giblets, and egg yolks (see
reviouscaution) should be pierced to allow
steam to escape
during cooking.
* Not all plastic
wrap is suitable
for use in
microwave ovens.
Check the package for proper use.
* Spontaneous
boiling -
Under
certain special
circumstances,
liquids may start to
boil during or
shortly after
removal from the microwave oven.
To prevent bums from splashing liquid, stir the
liquid briefly before removing the container
from the mcirowave oven.
* Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers -
for example, closed glass jars - will
explode and should not be heated in this
microwave oven. Such use of the microwave
oven could result in injury.
* Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even
without their lids; especially meat and mixtures.
