—Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid
damage to the oven and the danger of fire. If
by accident the oven should run empty a minute
or two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid
operating the oven empty at all times—it saves
energy and prolongs the life of the oven,
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect
power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers—for example, closed jars-will
explode and should not be heated in this
microwave oven. Such use of the microwave
oven could result in injury.
Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even
without their lids; especially meat and egg
mixtures.
Don't defrost frozen beverages in narrow
necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages).
Even if the container is opened, pressure can build
up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
Use
metal only as directed in this book. TV
dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than
3/4" high; remove top foil cover and return tray
to box. When using metrd in the microwave oven,
keep metal at least 1 inch away from sides
of oven.
Cookware may become hot
because of heat transfemed from
the heated food. Pot holders may
be needed to handle the cookware.
Sometimes, the turntable can become too hot
to touch. Be careful touching the turntable during
and after cooking.

(continued)
Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend
to boil over more rapidly than foods containing
less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care
and Cleaning section(s) for instructions on how to
clean the inside of the oven.
Thermometer—Do not use a thermometer in
food you are microwaving unless the thermometer
is designed or recommended for use in the
microwave oven.
Plastic cookwar*Plastic cookw~e 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. For these reasons: 1) Use
microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict
compliance with the cookware manufacturer's
recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty
cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit
children to use plastic cookware without complete
supervision.
When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe
to eat.
Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure
will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to
burst, possibly resulting in injury,
Foods with unbroken outer
sausages, tomatoes, apples,
chicken livers and other giblets,
and egg yolks (see previous
caution) should be pierced to
allow steam to escape during
cooking.
