Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled for microwave use, or pop it in
a microwave oven corn popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers' directions and use
a brand suitable for the wattage of your oven. Do not continue to heat after popping
has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended.
CAUTION: When using pre packaged microwave popcorn, check
package weight before using the popcorn pad. Set the oven for the weight
of the popcorn package. If these instructions are not followed, popcorn
may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause fire.
Potatoes, tomatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods
with nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before cooking to
prevent them from exploding.
Do not heat baby bottles or food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of
food may appear warm while the interior can burn the infant's mouth and
esophagus.
Do not deep fat fry in 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 result 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 a
slight imperfection, scratch or chip.
Do not use microwave oven for home canning or heating of any closed jar. Pressure
will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the oven 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.
Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.
Proper cooking depends on time set and weight of food. If you use a smaller portion
than recommended and cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could
result.
See also Microwave utensil guide.
Cooking utensils, the glass tray and the metal rack get hot during microwaving.
Always use potholders when removing items from the oven. Allow to cool the glass
tray and the metal rack (if used) before handling.
Do not use metal utensils, or dishes with metallic trim in the oven.
When using aluminum foil in the oven, allow at least 1" (25,4 mm) of space between
foil and intirior oven walls or door.
