PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID

POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE

MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a)DO NOT attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b)DO NOT place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c)DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d)The oven should NOT be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVECaution

To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:

1.Always press STOP/RESET before programming oven.

2.Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and be hazardous to handle.

3.Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an unbroken yolk. Pressure may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with a fork or knife before cooking. Do not reheat previously cooked eggs in the microwave oven unless finely chopped or scrambled.

4.Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, or other foods with a "skin" before cooking in microwave oven. This allows steam to escape during cooking.

5.Remove excess fat from meats and poultry to prevent splattering.

6.Do not heat baby bottles in microwave oven.

7.Do not home can in microwave oven. Home canning is generally done with metal lids. Since metal lids reflect heat, product may not be heated uniformly to 212°F or above. Food could deteriorate. USDA extension specialists do not recommend home canning in microwave ovens.

8.Briskly stir or pour liquids before heating to prevent spontaneous boiling or eruption. Do not overheat. If air is not mixed into a liquid, liquid can erupt in oven or after removal from oven.

9.All uncooked foods should be heated to a final internal temperature of at least 165°F. Some foods require higher temperatures.

These recommended temperatures kill most food borne, disease causing organisms. Some common visual signs that indicate the cooking temperature has been reached:

•Food steams throughout, not just around edges.

•Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.

10.When popping microwave popcorn place popcorn bag on turntable inside oven. Do not place popcorn bag on oven floor.

11.If using a microwave popcorn popper, use according to manufacturer's instructions. Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended.

12.Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled for microwave use. Pop according to package directions, beginning with the minimum amount of time recommended. Use caution when handling hot popcorn bag.
