IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Plastic cookware – Plastic cookware designed
for microwave cooking is very useful, but
should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe
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 cookware could
ignite.
ARCING
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the
oven. Arcing is caused by:
Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like
antennas).
SUPERHEATED WATER
They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all.
Superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup
when it is moved or when something like a spoon
or tea bag is put into it.
To prevent this from happening and causing injury,
do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per
cup.
After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave
for 30 seconds before moving it or putting
anything into it.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these guidelines:
Use microwave-safe plastics only and use
them in strict compliance with the cookware
manufacturer's recommendations.
Do not microwave empty containers.
Do not permit children to use plastic
cookware without complete supervision.
Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold-
rimmed dishes, in the microwave.
Recycled paper towels containing small metal
pieces being used in the microwave.
Spontaneous boiling
microwave oven.
To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we
recommend the following before removing the
container from the oven:
Allow the container to stand in the oven for 30 to
40 seconds after the oven has shut off.
Do not boil liquids in narrow-necked containers
such as soft drink bottles, wine flasks and
especially narrow-necked coffee cups. Even if
the container is opened, excessive steam can
build up and cause it to burst or overflow.
