18. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the
boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling when the con-
tainer is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS
COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER
WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED
INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
(a)
STIR THE LIQUID BOTH BEFORE AND HALFWAY THROUGH
HEATING IT.
(b)
Do not heat water and oil, or fats together. The film of oil will trap
steam, and may cause a violent eruption.
(c) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
(d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a
short time before removing the container.
19.
DO NOT
cook directly on the turntable. It can crack, cause injury or damage
to the oven.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SHOCK:
DO NOT
remove outer panel from oven. Repairs must be done only by a qualified serv-
ice person.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVE
ENERGY:
DO NOT
tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to Door,
Control Panel Frame, Safety Interlock Switches, or any other part
of oven, microwave leakage may result.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE:
1.
DO NOT
operate the oven empty. The microwave energy will
reflect continuously throughout the oven causing overheating and
damage, if food or water is not present to absorb energy.
2.
DO NOT
store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the
oven.
3.
DO NOT
dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven, or use newspaper or
paper bags for cooking.
4.
DO NOT
hit or strike Control Panel. Damage to controls may occur.
5.
DO NOT
use recycled paper products unless the paper product is labeled as safe for
microwave oven use. Recyled paper products may contain impurities which may
cause sparking.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING:
POT HOLDERS
should always be used when removing items from the oven. Heat is
transferred from the HOT food to the cooking container and from the container to the
Glass Tray. The Glass Tray can also be very HOT after removing the cooking container
from the oven.
