*Mn’t defrost frmn bevemges inn- wked bodes (especitiy carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, resulting in injury.

*Use metal ody as directed in cookbook. TV dinners maybe microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4” high; remove top foil cover and return tray to box. When using meti in microwave oven, keep metal [other than meti shel~ at least l-inch away from sides of oven.

●Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the utensil.

*Sometimes, the oven floor can become too hot to touch. Be care~l touching the floor during and after cooking.

●Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to boil over more rapidy than foods containing less moisture. Should this’occur, refer to page 16 for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

*Thermometer-Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving udess the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

*Remove the temperature

probe from the oven when not using it to cook with. If you leave the probe inside the oven without ins~rting it in f~ or liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can create electrical arcing in the oven and damage oven walls.

*Plastic u&ns*Plastic utensds designed fir microwave cooking are very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materi~s and may sotin or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In

longer exposures to overcooking, the food and utensils could ignite. Porthesereasons: l) Usernicrowave plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the utensil manufacturer’s recommendations.

2)Do not subject empty utensils to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic utensils without complete supervision.

@When cooking pork, follow our directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least l~°F. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it wi~ be kifled and meat will be safe to eat.

●Boiling eggs is not recommended in a microwave oven. Pressure can build up inside egg yolk and may cause it to burst, resulting in injury.

Q Foods with unbroken outer ‘%kin” such m potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and e= yolks (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

. ;$Bofiab~e?? cooking Pouche$

and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed in cookbook. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately afier cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should beat least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefu~y and direct steam away from hands and face.

. Svntaneous boiling—Under certain speciai circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly afier removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, stir the liquid briefly before removing the container from the microwave oven.

●Use of the shelf accessory.

–kmove the shelf from oven when not in use.

–Do not store or cook with shelf on floor of oven. Product damage may result.

–Use pot holders to handle the shelf and utensds. They maybe hot.

–Do not use microwave browning dish on shelf; the shelf could overheat.

T~~~USTHOOD:

●Have it installed and properly grounded by a qutified instiler. See the special instigation booHet packed with the microwave oven.

●The exhaust fan in your oven will operate automatically under certain conditions (see Automatic Fan Feature, page 6). While the fan is operating, caution is required to prevent the stirting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the exhaust fan is in use. For this reason:

–Never leave surface uniti unattended at high heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if exhaust fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized utensils and use high heat settings only when necessary.

—In the event of a grease fire, smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

—Never flame foods under the oven with the exhaust fan operating because it may spread the flames.

–Wep hood and grease filters clean, according to instructions on

pages 15 and 17, to maintain good — venting and avoid grease fires.
