Food Prepara�on
Follow these Safety Precau�ons when cooking in your oven.
IMPORTANT
Proper cooking depends upon the power, the �me se�ng
and quan�ty of food. If you use a smaller por�on than
recommended but cook at the �me for the recommended
por�on, fire could result.
1) HOME CANNING / STERILIZING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL
QUANTITIES OF FOODS
•
DO NOT
use your oven for home canning. Your oven cannot
maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. The food
may be contaminated and then spoil.
•
DO NOT
use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby
bo�les, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high
temperature needed for steriliza�on.
•
DO NOT
dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.
Small quan��es of food or foods with low moisture content can
dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated.
2) POPCORN
Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven corn popper.
Microwave popcorn that pops in its own package is also available.
Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable
for the cooking power of your microwave oven.
CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, you
can follow recommended package instructions or use the Popcorn
button (refer to page 10). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop
adequately or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave the oven
unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool
before opening, and always open the bag facing away from your
face and body to prevent steam burns.
