f. Do not overcook potatoes. They may dehydrate and
catch fire.
g. Do not use for drying clothes, linens, newspaper or
similar non-food type items.
21. Do not operate the oven when empty or with an empty
utensil to avoid damage to the voen and danger of fire.
22. Do not lean on the oven door. The door is designed to
close tightly and seal properly for safe operation.
Leaning on the door may warp or break the hinges.
23. To avoid exposure to dangerous high voltage, DO
NOT REMOVE THE SPLATTER SHIELD inside
the oven cavity.
24. Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially
cylindrical-shaped containers) may become overheated
and splash out with a loud noise. For best results, stir
the liquid several times before heating. Always stir
liquids several times between reheatings.
25. Read and follow specific microwave oven
preparation instructions on food packages or
containers (especially baby food). Above all, this is a
cooking appliance designed to prepare food.
26. Use only cooking utensils and accessories made for use
in the microwave and specifically described in this
manual.
27. Microwave oven manufacturesrs do not recommend
deep fat frying or frying in a microwave oven. Hot oil
can damage oven parts and utensils and even result in
sking burns.
28. Plastic wrap: Use only those types designed for
microwave oven use and avoid forming an air-tight
seal. Fold back a small corner or cut a small slit to
allow steam to excape.
29. Stay near the appliance while it is in use and check
cooking progress frequently. Leaving the appliance
unattended may reslut in overcooked food and possibly
a fire in your oven.
30. Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to
boil over more rapidly than foods containing less
moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and
Cleaning section for insturctions on how to clean the
inside of the oven.
31. Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving
unless the thermometer is designed or recommended
for use in the microwave oven.
32. Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is
very useful, but should be used carefully. Even
microwave-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 only 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.
33. Do not stor anythig directly on top of the microwave
oven surface when the oven is in operation.
34. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than
3/4” deep; remove top foil cover and return tray to box.
When using metal in microwave oven, keep metal at
least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.
35. Do not defrost frozen beverages in harrow necked
bottles.
36. Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred
from the heated food. Potholders may be needed to
handle the cookware.
37. Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin
wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it
allows microwaves to pass through it.
38. Never use sharp-edged utensils in or near the oven.
39. Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when
opening containers of hot food, including popcorn
bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible
injury, direct steam away from hands and face.
40. Clean the vent hood often. Do not allow agease to build
up on the hood or the filter.
41. Use care when cleaning the vent hood filter. Corrosive
cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may
damage the filter.
42. Whjen flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan
off. The fan, if operating may spread the flame.
