INSTRUCTIONS
@
Some
products such as
whole eggs and sealed con-
tainers—for example, closed
glass jars—may explode and
should not be heated in this
oven.
@ Avoid
heating baby food
in
glass jars, even without their
lids; especially meat and egg
mixtures.
@ Don't defrostfrozen bever-
ages in narrow necked bottles;
especially carbonated ones.
Even if the container is opened,
pressure can build up. This can
cause the container to burst,
resulting in injury.
@ Use metalonly ~s directedin
Cookbook Metal strips as used
on meat roasts are helpful when
used as shown in Cookbook.
TV dinners may be cooked in
metal trays but when using shelf
they must be replaced in their
box. However, when using metal
in microwave oven, keep metal
(except
for IDOUBLE DUTYTM
shelf) at leastl-inch away from
sidesof oven.
@ Cooking utensilsmay
become hot
because of heat
transferred from the heated
food. This is especially true if
plastic wrap has been covering
the top and handles of the
utensil. Potholders may be
needed to handle the utensil.
@ Sometimes,
the
oven
floor
can
become too hot to touch.
Be careful touching the floor
during and after cooking.
@ DO not use any thermometer
in food you are microwaving
unless that thermometer is
designed or recommended for
use in the microwave oven.
@ Removethe temperature
probe from the ovenwhen not
using it to cook with. If you leave
the probe inside the oven without
inserting it in food or liquid, and
turn on microwave energy, it can
create electrical arcing in the
oven, and damage oven walls.
@ PlasticLltensils-Plastic
utensilsdesignedfor microwave
cooking are very useful, but
should be used carefully. Even
microwave plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking condi-
tions as are glass or ceramic
materials and may soften or
char if subjected to short periods
of overcooking. In longer expo-
sures to overcooking, the food
and utensils could ignite. For
these reasons: 1) Use micro-
wave plastics only "and use
them" in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer's
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty utensils to micro-
waving. 3) Do not permit children
to use plastic utensils without
complete supervision.
@
When cooking pork
follow
our directions exactly and
always cook the meat to at least
170°. 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.
@
Boiling eggs
(in and out of
shell) is not recommendedfor
microwave cooking. Pressure
can build up inside egg yolk and
may cause it to burst, resulting
in injury.
@ Foodswith unbrokenouter
"skin"such as potatoes, hot
@
dogs or sausages,tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and eggs (see above)
e
should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.
@ "Boilable"
cooking pouches
and tightly closedplasticbags
should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed in Cookbook. If they
are not, plastic could burst dur-
ing or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should
beat least partially uncovered
because they form a tight seal.
When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and
direct steam away from hands
and face.
@ Use
of the
DOUBLE 13UIYM
shelfaccessory.(See your Cook-
book for proper use.)
—Remove the shelf from oven
when not-in use.
—Do not store or cook with
shelf on floor of oven. Product
@
damage may result.
—Use potholders when handling @
the shelf and utensils. They may
be hot.
—Do not use microwave brown-
ing dish on shelf. The shelf could
overheat.
