cooking or oven thermometers when
cooking by microwave. The metal and
mercury in these thermometers could
cause arcing and possible damage to
the oven. Do not use a thermometer
in food you are microwaving unless
the thermometer is designed or
recommended for use in the microwave
oven.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads.
Pieces can burn off the pad and touch
electrical parts involving risk of electric
shock.
Do not store any materials, other than our
recommended accessories, in this oven
when not in use.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter.
Keep power cord away from heated
surfaces.
Do not immerse power cord or plug in
water.
Do not operate the oven without the
turntable in place. The turntable must
be unrestricted so it can turn.
During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact any interior area
of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the
oven door, floor, walls, oven rack and
turntable.
It is important to keep the area clean
where the door seals against the
microwave. Use only mild, non-abrasive
detergents applied with a clean sponge or
soft cloth. Rinse well.
Do not store anything directly on top of
the microwave oven surface when the
microwave oven is in operation.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Per USDA, cook meat to an INTERNAL
temperature of at least 160°F, and
poultry to an INTERNAL temperature
of at least 180°F. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects
against foodborne illness. For more
information, see www.foodsafety.gov.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in
the oven. Arcing is caused by:
Metal or foil touching the side of the
oven.
Foil not molded to food (upturned edges
act like antennas).
Use foil only as recommended in this
manual.
Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or
gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.
Metal cookware or the wire oven
rack used during either speedcook or
microwave cooking (except for the pans
provided with the oven).
Recycled paper towels containing small
metal pieces being used in the oven.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
When microwaving, place all foods and
containers on the clear glass tray.
Do not pop popcorn in your oven unless in
a special microwave popcorn accessory or
unless you use popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure will
build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to
burst, possibly resulting in injury.
Do not operate oven without food inside.
This may cause damage to the oven. It
increases the heat around the magnetron
and can shorten the life of the oven.
Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as
potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other giblets,
and egg yolks should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.
Don’t defrost frozen beverages in
narrow-necked bottles (especially
carbonated beverages). Even if the
container is open, pressure can build up.
This can cause the container to burst,
possibly resulting in injury.
Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta)
may tend to boil more rapidly than
foods containing less moisture. Should
this occur, refer to the Care
and Cleaning of the Oven section for
instructions on how to clean the inside
of the oven.
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.
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. The container may feel cooler
than the formula really is. Always test
the formula before feeding the baby.
Do not attempt to deep fry in the oven.
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:
