GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONT.)
Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could result. At the end of the recom- mended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm because
they will continue cook- ing during standing
time. After micro-
waving, let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven because
it allows microwaves to pass through it.
Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty. Product life may be shortened.
If you practice programming the oven,
put a container of water in the oven or
use the Demo/learning feature (see “Using the demo/learning feature”
later in this section). It is normal for the oven door to look wavy after the oven has been
running for a while.
Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven. Fire could result.
Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven. Fire could result.

Handle your turntable with care when removing it from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your turntable cracks or breaks, contact your dealer for a replacement.
When you use a browning dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least 3⁄16 inch above the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
If your electric power line or outlet voltage is
less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system.
