Understanding Microwave Oven Safety
Operating safety precautions
AWARNING
To reduce the risk of burns, fire,
electrical shock, injury to persons, or
damage when using the microwave oven,
follow the precautions on pages 6-7.
Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside
the shell. Steam buildup 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 eggs and allow a standing
time of one minute before cutting into them.
Stir before heating
For best results, stir any liquid several
times before heating or reheating. Liquids
heated in certain containers (especially
cylindrical containers) may become over-
heated. 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.
Never lean on the door or allow a child to
swing on it when the door is open. Injury
could result.
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not
heat containers, but the hot food does.
Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could
result. At the end of the recommended
cooking time, potatoes should be slightly
firm because they will continue cooking
during standing time. After microwaving,
wrap potatoes in foil and set aside for
5 minutes. They will finish cooking while
standing.

Do not start a microwave oven when it is
empty. Product life may be shortened.
If you practice programming the oven, put
a container of water in the oven.
It is normal for the inside of the oven door
to look wavy after the oven has been running
for a while.
Do not use newspaper or other printed paper
in the oven. Fire could result.
Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood,
paper, gourds or clothes in the oven. Fire
could result.
Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven.
Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave
oven because it allows microwaves to pass
through it.

If your electrical power line or outlet

may be longer. Have a qualified electrician
check your electrical system.

How microwave cooking works
Microwave oven features
Control panel features
Using the exhaust fan
Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave
energy is not hot. It causes food to make its
own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks the
food.
Microwaves are like TV waves or light
waves. You cannot see them, but you can
see what they do.

Your

fiz
Microwaves pass through most glass,
paper and plastics without heating them so
food absorbs the energy. Microwaves
bounce off metal pans so food does not
absorb the energy.
Microwaves may not reach the center of a
roast. The heat spreads to the center from
the outer, cooked areas just as in conven-
tional cooking. This is one of the reasons for
letting some foods (for example, roasts or
baked potatoes) stand for a while after
cooking, or for stirring some foods during the
cooking time.
The microwaves disturb water molecules
in the food. As the molecules bounce around
bumping into each other, heat is made, like
rubbing your hands together. This is the
heat that does the cooking.
Radio interference
Operation of the microwave oven may cause
interference to your radio, TV or similar
equipment. When there is interference, it
may be reduced or eliminated by taking the
following measures:
¢ Clean door and sealing surfaces of the
oven.
e Adjust the receiving antenna of radio or
television.
© Move the receiver away from the micro-
wave oven.
¢ Plug the microwave oven into a different
outlet so that the microwave oven and
receiver are on different branch circuits.
