(continued)

—Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

—Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

—Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger of fire. If by accident the oven should run empty a minute or two, no harm is done, However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at all times—it saves energy and prolongs the life of the oven.

Do not use the oven for storage purposes. Do not

leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

If materials inside oven should ignite, keep

oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed jars—will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury.

Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even without their lids; especially meat and egg mixtures.

Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

Use metal only as directed in this book. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4” high; remove top foil cover and return tray to box. When using metal in the microwave oven,

keep metal at least 1 inch away from sjdes of oven.

Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.

Foods cooked jn ljquids (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(s) for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

Thermometer—Donot use a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

Plastic cookwar*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 cookwme without complete supervision.

When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.

Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

Foods with unbroken outer “skin”

such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yoks (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking,

Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

w Spontaneous boiling—Under certain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent bums from splashing liquid, stir the liquid briefly before removing the container from the microwave oven.
