About safety
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to
the United States Department of Agriculture's
recommended temperatures.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer
in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone.

cooking, unless it is approved for microwave use.
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when
handling utensils that are in contact with hot
food. Enough heat from the food can transfer
through utensils to cause skin burns.
on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the oven
to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave
cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in
food will influence the amount of moisture that
condenses in the oven. Generally, covered foods
will not cause as much condensation as uncovered
ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
The Microwave Oven is for food preparation only. It
should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your Microwave Oven is rated 900 watts by
using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or
package directions, check food a minute or two
before the minimum time and add time accordingly.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away
from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest
edge of a dish's covering and carefully open
popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the
face.
• Stay near the oven while it's in use and check
cooking progress frequently so that there is no
chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or
other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to
preserve its high quality and minimize the
spread of foodborne bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can
cause arcing and/or fires.
• Use care when removing items from the oven
so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories
do not touch the safety door latches.
• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least
1 inch away from walls, ceiling and door.
