About safety
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the •
Unit ed S tat es D epa rt men t of Agr icu lt ure’ s re com -
mended temperatures.
Temp food
160˚F For fresh pork, ground meat, bone-
less white poultry, fish, seafood, egg
dishes and frozen prepared food.
165˚F For leftover, ready-to-reheat refriger-
ated, and deli and carry-out “fresh”
food.
170˚F White meat of poultry.
180˚F Dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in
a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. nEVER
leave the thermometer in the food during cooking,
unless it is approved for microwave use.
ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when •
handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through
utensils to cause skin burns.
Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from •
the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge
of a dish’s covering and carefully open popcorn
and oven cooking bags away from the face.
Stay near t he oven while it’s in use and check •
cooking progress frequently so that there is no
chance of overcooking food.
nEVER use the cavit y for storing cook books or •
other items.
Select, store and handle food carefully to pre -•
serve its high quality and minimize the spread of
foodborne bacteria.
Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can •
cause arcing and/or fires.
Use care when removing items from the oven so •
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do
not touch the safety door latches.
Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least •
1 inch away from walls, ceiling and door.
