IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
n
Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with
the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly
cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly.
Be careful to prevent scalding when warming
formula or breast milk. The container may feel
cooler than the milk really is. Always test the milk
before feeding the baby.
n
Spontaneous boiling – Under certain special
circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or
shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To
prevent burns from splashing liquid, we recommend
the following: before removing the container from
the oven, allow the container to stand in the oven
for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has shut off. Do
not boil liquids in narrownecked containers such as
soft drink bottles, wine flasks and especially narrow-
necked coffee cups. Even if the container is opened,
excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst
or overflow.
n
Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrownecked
bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even
if the container is opened, pressure can build up.
This can cause the container to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
n
Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful
when opening any containers of hot food,
including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and
boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam
away from hands and face.
n
Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate
and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.
n
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly – meat to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F (71° C)
and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature
of 180°F (82° C). Cooking to these temperatures
usually protects against foodborne illness.
n
Place microwavable container directly on the
glass turntable to cook your food.
n
If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use
this test: Place in the oven both the dish you are
testing and a glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup
(240 mL) of water—set the measuring cup either
in or next to the dish. Microwave 30–45 seconds
at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for
microwaving.
If the dish remains cool and only the water in the
cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.
n
Oversized food or oversized metal cookware
should not be used in a microwave/convection
oven because they increase the risk of electric
shock and could cause a fire.
n
Sometimes the oven floor, turntable and walls
can become too hot to touch. Be careful touching
the floor, turntable and walls during and after
cooking.
n
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking,
make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
n
Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled
paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or
ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon
filaments should be avoided, as they may also
ignite.
n
Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat
is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal
embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the
metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a
paper towel.
n
Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers.
n
Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave
ovens. Check the package for proper use.
n
Do not use paper products when the microwave/
convection oven is operated in the convection or
combination mode.
n
Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap
can be used to cover dishes in order to retain
moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent
plastic wrap so steam can escape.
n
Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders
may be needed to handle the cookware.
MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
Make sure to use suitable cookware during microwave cooking. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze
with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.”
