,& SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven
Home canning /sterilizing /drying
foods /small quantities of foods
Popcorn
Deep fat frying
Eggs
Foods with nonporous skins
Liquids
Do not use your microwave for home canning or the heating of any closed jar.
Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the microwave cannot
maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly canned food
may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
,_, Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, burn or
catch on fire. If a fire occurs, turn oven off and leave oven door closed.
Disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
,_, Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.
IMPORTANT
Proper cooking depends on time set and weight of food. If you use a smaller
protion than recommended and cook at the time for the recommended portion,
fire can result. If a fire occurs, turn oven off and leave oven door closed.
Disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Popcorn must be popped in a microwave oven corn popper. Microwave popcorn
which pops in its own package isalso available. Follow popcorn manufacturers'
directions and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your microwave. Never
leave oven unattended when popping popcorn.
CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, follow recommended
package instructions.
Check package weight before using the popcorn pad. Set the oven for the weight of
the popcorn package.
If these instructions are not followed, the popcorn may not pop adequately or may
ignite and cause a fire.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Oil can be heated beyond
ideal temperatures very quickly in a microwave oven. Temperatures can climb
high enough for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points and burst
into flames. The heated oil may bubble and spatter causing possible damage to
the oven and perhaps resulting in burns. Additionally, microwave-safe utensils
may not be able to withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could result in
the utensil shattering if it contains even a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.
Do not cook/reheat whole eggs, with or without the shell.
Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage
the oven or cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard-boilded eggs and cooking
SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.
_, Potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with
nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before microwave
cooking to prevent them from exploding.
CAUTION: Cooking dry or old potatoes can cause fire.
_, Heated liquids can erupt if not mixed with air. Do not heat liquids in your
microwave oven without first stirring.

®
®
Cooking utensils get hot during microwaving. Use potholders when removing
utensils and Glass Tray from the oven or when removing lids or plastic wrap
covers from cooking utensils to avoid burns.
The Glass Tray will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed to cool before
handling or before paper products, such as paper plates, napkins or microwave
popcorn bags, are placed in the oven for microwave cooking.
During cooking, heat is transferred from the hot food to the cooking utensil and
from the utensil to Glass Tray. Glass Tray can be very hot after removing cooking
utensils from oven.
When using foil allow at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of space between foil, metal
material and interior oven walls or door. If arcing occurs (sparking) remove metal
material (skewers etc.) and/or transfer to a non-metallic container.
Dishes with metallic trim should not be used during Microwave cooking, arcing
may occur.
Do not use paper towels or cloths which contain a synthetic fiber woven into
them. The synthetic fiber may cause the towel to ignite. Use paper toweling
under supervision.
Do not use paper bags or recycled paper products in the microwave oven.
Microwave browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking only.
Preheating times vary depending on the size of the browning dish and food being
cooked. Always follow instrutions provided by the browning dish or grill
manufacturer. Do not preheat browning dishes more than 6 minutes.
If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to
package directions. Do not use a wire twist-tie to close bag, instead use nylon
ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make six 1/2-inch
slits by closure. Place oven cooking bag in a dish slightly larger than the food
being cooked.
Do not use a conventional meat thermometer for Microwave cooking. Arcing may
occur. Microwave safe thermometers are available for both meat and candy.
Do not heat baby formula or food in the microwave oven. The glass jar or surface
of the food may appear warm while the interior can burn the infant's mouth and
esophagus.
When reheating pastry products, check temperatures of any fillings before
eating. Some foods have fillings which heat faster and can be extremely hot while
the surface remains warm to the touch (ex. Jelly Donuts).
Do not use the oven for any reason other than the preparation of food.
Do not leave oven unattended while in use.
The microwave is intended only for the preparation of foods. Other uses can be
dangerous and cause damage. For example, warmed grains and grain kernels
can ignite even after hours have passed. Fire danger!
