OperatingSafetyPrecautions

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the microwave oven, follow the precautions on pages 29-32.

Never cook or reheat a whole egg. Steam build- up in whole eggs may cause them to burst and burn you, and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard boiled eggs before heating. In rare instances, poached eggs have been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into them.

Liquids heated in certain containers (especially cylindrical-shaped containers) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee, etc.) resulting in harm to the oven and possible personal injury. For best results stir any liquid several times before heating or reheating.

Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open. Injury could result.

Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the hot food does.
