f. Do not overcook potatoes. They may dehydrate and
catch fire.
g. Do not use for drying clothes, linens, newspaper or
similar non-food type items.
21. Do not operate the oven when empty or with an empty
utensil to avoid damage to the oven and danger of fire.
22. Do not lean on the oven door. The door is designed to
close tightly and seal properly for safe operation.
Leaning on the door may warp or break the hinges.
23. To avoid exposure to dangerous high voltage, DO
NOT REMOVE THE SPLATTER SHIELD inside
the oven cavity.
24. Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especial-
ly cylindrical-shaped containers) may become over-
heated and splash out with a loud noise. For best
results, stir the liquid several times before heating.
Always stir liquids several times between reheatings.
25. Read and follow specific microwave oven prepara-
tion instructions on food packages or containers
(especially baby food). Above all, this is a cooking
appliance designed to prepare food.
26. Use only cooking utensils and accessories made for
use in the microwave and specifically described in
this manual.
27. Microwave oven manufacturers do not recommend
deep fat frying or frying in a microwave oven. Hot oil
can damage oven parts and utensils and even result in
skin burns.
28. Plastic wrap: Use only those types designed for
microwave oven use and avoid forming an air-tight
seal. Fold back a small corner or cut a small slit to
allow steam to escape.
29. Stay near the appliance while it is in use and check
cooking progress frequently. Leaving the appliance
unattended may result in overcooked food and possi-
bly a fire in your oven.
30. 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 for instructions on how to clean the
inside of the oven.

31. Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwav-
ing unless the thermometer is designed or recom-
mended for use in the microwave oven.
32. Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is
very useful, but should be used carefully. Even
microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of over-
cooking 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 plas-
tic cookware without complete supervision.
33. Do not store anything directly on top of the
microwave oven surface when the oven is in oper-
ation.
34. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than
3/4˝ deep; remove top foil cover and return tray to
box. When using metal in microwave oven, keep
metal at least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.
35. Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow necked bot-
tles.
36. Cookware may become hot because of heat trans-
ferred from the heated food. Potholders may be need-
ed to handle the cookware.
37. Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin
wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it
allows microwaves to pass through it.
38. Never use sharp-edged utensils in or near the oven.
39. Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when
opening containers of hot food, including popcorn
bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible
injury, direct steam away from hands and face.
40. Clean the vent hood often. Do not allow grease to
build up on the hood or the filter.
41. Use care when cleaning the vent hood filter. Corrosive
cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may
damage the filter.
42. When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan
off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.
