Operating safety precautions

NEVER COOK OR REHEAT A WHOLE EGG.

Steam build-up in whole eggs may cause them to burst and burn you, and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard boiled eggs before heating. In rare instances, poached eggs have been known to explode. Cover poached egge and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into them.

USE HOT PADS.

Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the hot food does.

It is normal for the inside of the oven door to look wavy after the oven has been running for a while.

Liquids heated in certain con- tainers (especially cylindrical- shaped contalners)may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee, etc.) resulting in harm to the oven and possible personal injury. For best results stir any liquid several times before heating or reheating.

DO NOT heat, store or use flam- mable materials in or near the oven. Fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

NEVER lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open. Injury could result.

DO NOT do canning of foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode resulting in damage to the oven or possible personal injury.

DO NOT use the oven to steri- lize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to maintain the high temperature required for safe sterilization.

DO NOT deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep fry- ing temperatures.

Additional Precautions

lDo not operate the microwave oven unless the glass tray is securely in place. l Carefully place cookware on glass tray to avoid possible breakage.

l Handle glass tray with care when removing from oven to avoid possible breakage.

l When a browning dish is used, the browning dish bottom must be at least J/r6 inch above glass tray.
