GE 164D2966P212, 49-8697 warranty Do not boil liquids in narrow- necked containers

Do not boil liquids in narrow- necked containers.

•Spontaneous boiling—Under cer- tain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we recommend the following: before removing the container from the oven, allow the container to stand in the oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in nar- row-necked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine flasks and espe- cially narrow-necked coffee cups. Even if the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst or overflow.

•Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly result- ing in injury.

•Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.

•Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

•When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal tem- perature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in the remote possi- bility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.
