IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
—Do not pop popcorn in
your microwave oven unless
in a special microwave popcorn
accessory or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
—If materials inside the oven
should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and
disconnect the power cord, or
shut off power at the fhse or
circuit breaker panel.
Some products such as whole
eggs and sealed containers-for
example, closed glass jars—may
explode and should not be heated
in this oven.
Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even without their
lids; especially meat and egg
mixtures.
Don't defrost frozen
beverages in narrow necked
bottles; especially carbonated
ones. Even if the container is
opened, pressure can build up.
This can cause the container to
burst. resulting in injury.
Use metal only as directed in
Cookbook. Metal strips as used
on meat roasts are helpful when
used as shown in Cookbook.
TV dinners maybe cooked
in metal trays, providing the
metal foil covers are removed.
However, when using metal in
microwave oven, keep metal
at least l-inch away from sides
of oven.
Cooking utensils may
become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food.
This is especially true if plastic
wrap has been covering the top
and handles of the utensil.
Potholders may be needed to
handle the utensil.
Sometimes, the cooking tray
can become too hot to touch.
Be careful handling the cooking
tray during and after cooking.
. Thermometer—Do not use
a thermometer in food you
are microwaving unless the
thermometer is designed or
recommended for use in the
microwave oven.
Plastic utensils—Plastic
utensils designed for microwave
cooking are very useful, but
should be used carefully. Even
microwave plastic may not be
as tolerant of overcooking
conditions as are glass or
ceramic materials and may
soften or char if subjected to
short periods of overcooking. In
longer exposures to overcooking,
the food and utensils could
ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use
Microwave plastics only and use
them in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer's
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty utensils to
microwaving. 3) Do not permit
children to use plastic utensils
without complete supervision.
When cooking pork follow
our directions exactly and always
cook the meat to at least 170°.
This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be
killed and meat will be safe
to eat.
Boiling eggs (in and out of
shell) is not recommended for
microwave cooking. Pressure
can build up inside egg yolk and
may cause it to burst, resulting
in injury.
Foods with
unbroken
outer
"skin" such as potatoes, hot
dogs or sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and eggs (see previous
caution) should be pierced to
allow steam to escape during
cooking.
"Boilable" cooking pouches
and tightly closed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed in Cookbook. If they
are not, plastic could burst
during or immediately after cook-
ing, possibly resulting in injury.
Also, plastic storage containers
should be at least partially un-
covered 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.
