appliance when paper, plastic or other
combustible materials are placed inside
the oven to facilitate cooking.

Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing
to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the
container is removed from the microwave oven is not
always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY
HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN
A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO
THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
c. Do not use straight-sided containers
with narrow necks. Use a wide-mouthed
container.
d.
After heating, allow the container to stand
in the microwave oven at least for 20
seconds before removing the container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the container.
18. If the oven light fails, consult a DACOR
AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
