IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

• Foods with unbroken outer ‘‘skin’’ such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

SAFETY FACT—Superheated water. 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 THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

—Do not overheat the liquid.

—Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

—Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

—After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

—Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

•Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed glass jars— are able to explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave/convection oven could result 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.

•Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding when warming formula or breast milk. The container may feel cooler than the milk really is. Always test the milk before feeding the baby.

•Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

•‘‘Boilable’’ cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

•Use of the shelf accessory.

—Use pot holders when handling the shelf and cookware. They will be hot.

—Never use the shelf for microwave-only cooking. Remove the shelf from the oven when microwave-only cooking.

—Always place the shelf on the floor of the oven for convection and combination cooking.
