FOOD
Check foods to see that they are cooked to USDA
•
recommended temperatures.
160°F
—Fresh pork, ground meat, boneless
(70°C)
white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen
prepared food.
165°F

and deli and carry-out fresh food.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a
•
thick or dense area away from fat or bone. Never
leave the thermometer in the food during cooking,
unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent
•
explosion. Do not cook eggs in shells or reheat
whole eggs.
Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs
•
and sausages so that steam escapes.
Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave
•
oven. Listen while popping corn for the popping to
slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use the special POPCORN
touch pad. Do not exceed the maximum time on
popcorn package.
Do not heat baby food in original jars. Transfer baby
•
food to a small dish and heat carefully, stirring often.
Check temperature before serving.
Do not heat bottles with nipples on. Put nipples on
•
bottles after heating and shake thoroughly. Wrist-test
before feeding. Do not heat disposable bottles.

After heating baked goods with fillings, pierce
•
outside of food to release steam and avoid burns.
Do not heat or cook in closed glass jars or air tight
•
containers.
Do not preserve foods by canning using the
•
microwave oven, as harmful bacteria may not be
destroyed.
CHILDREN
Children below the age of seven should use the
•
microwave oven with a supervising person very
near to them. Children ages 7–12 should have a
supervising person in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the microwave oven
•
comfortably; if not, they should stand on a sturdy
stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean on the
•
oven drawer.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use
•
pot holders, remove coverings carefully, pay special
attention to packages that crisp food because they
may be extra hot.
Do not assume that because a child has mastered
•
one cooking skill they can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is
•
not a toy. Refer to page 9 for the control lock feature.
