ignite, keep oven door closed, turn
oven off, and disconnect power
cord, or shut off power at
or
circuit breaker panel.
●
Some products such as whole
eggs and sealed containers-for
example, closed glass jars—may
explode and should not be heated
in this oven.
●

glass jars, even without their lids;
especially meat and egg mixtures.

as directed in
the cooking guides
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
the microwave oven, keep metal
at least 1 inch away from sides
of oven.
●
Cookware may become hot

the heated food. Pot holders may
be needed to handle the cookware.
Sometimes, the glass cooking
tray can become too hot to
touch. Be careful when handling
the cooking tray during and after

cooked in liquids (such
as pasta) may tend to boil over
more
than foods containing
less moisture. Should this occur,
refer to page 26 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.
.
cookware designed for microwave
cooking are very useful, but should
be used carefully. Even
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
and
use them in strict compliance
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.

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.
Boiling eggs is not
recommended in a microwave
oven. Pressure can build up
inside the egg yolk and may cause
it to burst, resulting in injury.
●
Foods with unbroken outer
such as potatoes, sausages,
tomatoes, apples, chicken livers
and other giblets, and egg yolks
(see previous caution) should be
pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
.
cooking pouches
and tightly closed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed in the cooking guide.
If they are not, plastic could burst
during or immediately after
cooking, possibly resulting in
injury, Also, plastic storage
containers should beat least
partially uncovered because they
form a tight seal. When cooking
with containers tightly covered
with plastic wrap, remove
covering carefully and direct
steam away from hands and
●
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, stir the
liquid briefly before removing the
container from the
