microwave.

13. To prevent delayed eruptive boiling of hot liquids and beverages or scalding yourself, stir liquid before placing the container in the oven and again half- way through cooking time. Let it stand in the oven for a short time and stir again before removing the con- tainer.

14.Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

15.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

16.When cleaning door and oven surfac- es use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

17.Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can heat beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. This is called delayed eruptive boiling. When the container is removed from the oven, there is a danger that very hot liquids could suddenly boiling over when the container is disturbed or a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the liquid.
