oven or injure yourself.

* Cook hard/soft boiled eggs.
* Overcook oysters.
* Dry nuts or seeds in shells.

* Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or

glass bowls.

* Exceed maximum time on popcorn

package.

* Heat disposable bottles.
* Overheat baby bottles.

Only heat until warm.

* Heat bottles with nipples on.

* Heat baby food in original jars.

* Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air

tight containers.

* Deep fat fry.
* Heat or dry wood, herbs, wet papers,

clothes or flowers.

.

* Heat or cook food while in cans.

* Overcook as they may catch fire.

* Place meat directly on the turntable for

cooking.

* Use metal utensils for MICROWAVE

cooking. Metal reflects microwave
energy and may cause an electrical
discharge known as arcing.

* Use too much.
* Shield food close to cavity walls.

Sparking can damage the cavity.

* Exceed the preheating time recom-

mended by the manufacturer. Exces-
sive preheating can cause the glass
turntable to shatter and/or damage
internal parts of the oven.

* Puncture egg yolks and whites and

oysters before cooking to prevent
"explosion".

* Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,

squash, hot dogs, sausages and
oysters so that steam escapes.

* Use specially bagged popcorn for the

microwave oven.

* Listen while popping corn for the

popping to slow to 1-2 seconds.

* Transfer baby food to small dish and

heat carefully, stirring often. Check for
suitable temperature to prevent burns.

* Remove the screw cap and teat

before warming baby bottles. After
warming shake thoroughly. Check for
suitable temperature.

* Food with filling should be cut after

heating, to release steam and avoid
burns.

* Use a deep bowl when cooking liquids

or cereals to prevent boiling over.

* For boiling or cooking liquids see

WARNING on page 2 to prevent
explosion and delayed eruptive boiling.

* Remove food from can.

* Cook for the recommended time.

(These foods have high sugar and/or
fat contents.)

* Use a microwave proof roasting rack

to collect drained juices.

* Check the utensils are suitable for

MICROWAVE cooking before you use
them.

* Use to shield food to prevent over

cooking.

* Watch for sparking. Reduce foil or

keep clear of cavity walls.

* Place a suitable insulator such as a

microwave and heat proof dinner plate
between the turntable and the
browning dish.
