* 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.
* 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.
* Stir liquids briskly before and after
cooking for even heating.
* Use a deep bowl when cooking liquids
or cereals to prevent boiling over.
* For boiling or cooking liquids see
WARNING on page E-1.

* Check that 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
microwave and heat proof dinner
plate between the turntable and the
browning dish.
SPECIAL NOTES
* Cook eggs in shells. This prevents
“explosion”, which may damage the
oven.
* Reheat whole eggs.
* Overcook oysters.

* Operate the oven empty.
* 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.

mended by the manufacturer.
Excessive preheating can cause the
