●
Some products such as whole
eggs and sealed containers—for
example, closed glass jars-will
explode and should not be heated
in this oven.
* See door surface cleaning
instructions in the Care and
Cleaning section(s) of this book.
Don’t defrost frozen beverages
in narrow-necked bottles
(especially carbonated beverages).
Even if the container is opened,
pressure
build up, This can
cause the container to burst,
possibly resulting in injury.
Use metal only as directed in –
this book and the cookbook.
Foil strips as used on meat roasts
are helpful when used as shown
in cookbook.
TV dinners
maybe microwaved
in foil trays less than 3/4” high;
remove top foil cover and return
tray to box. When using metal in
microwave oven, keep metal

●
Cookware may become hot
because of heat transferred from
the heated food. Pot holders may
be needed to handle the cookware.
●

tomatoes, apples, chicken livers
and other giblets, and egg yolks
should be pierced to allow steam
