CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe
the following:
1. Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat
and be hazardous to handle.
. Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an
unbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure
may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or
knife before cooking.
3. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar
foods before cooking with microwave energy.
When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
4. Do not operate oven without load or food in oven
cavity.
5. Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeled for microwave use. Popping time varies
depending on oven wattage. Do not continue
to heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will
scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended.
6. Do not use regular cooking thermometers
in oven. Most cooking thermometers contain
mercury and may cause an electrical arc,
malfunction, or damage to oven.
7. Do not use metal utensils in oven.

materials that are not intended for cooking.
9. When cooking with paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials, follow manufacturer's
recommendations on product use.
10. Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or
other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could
melt and cause paper to ignite.
11. Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in
oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and
cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open
container or bag before cooking.
