IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
FOODS
„
Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a
special microwave popcorn accessory
or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave
ovens.
„
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.
„
Operating the microwave with no food inside for more than a
minute or two may cause damage
to the oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat
around the magnetron and can shorten
the life of the oven.
„
Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs,
sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets,
and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
„
SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea, are able to
be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to
be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS
COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR
OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

the container.
„
Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may
tend to boil more rapidly than foods containing less moisture.
Should this occur, refer to the
Care and cleaning of the microwave oven section
for instructions on how to clean the inside of
the oven.
„
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. The
container may feel cooler than the formula really is. Always
test the formula before feeding the baby.
„
Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked 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.
„
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.
„
Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch
fire, causing damage to your oven.

least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
