o not use recycled paper products for cooking. They may contain
impurities which could cause sparks and/or fires when used during
cooking.
D
o not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn
popper or unless it has been commercially packaged and is
recommended especially for microwave ovens. Microwave popped corn
produces a lower yield than conventional popping; there will be a
number of unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless specified by the
manufacturer.
D
o not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer's directions.
(popping time is generally below 3 minutes). Longer cooking does not
yield more popped corn, and may result in scorching and fire. The
cooking tray may also become too hot to handle or may break.
I
f smoke is emitted, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the
door closed in order to stifle any flames.
C
heck the oven frequently when heating food in plastic or paper
containers to avoid accidental ignition.
T
he contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or
shaken and the temperature checked before consumption in order to
avoid burns.
A
lways test the temperature of food or drink which has been heated in
a microwave oven before you give it to somebody, especially to
children or elderly people. This is important because things which have
been heated in a microwave oven carry on getting hotter even though
the microwave oven cooking has stopped.
W
ipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you
leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or
even catch fire when next using the oven.
N
ever heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the
temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire. Do not fry
food in the oven. Hot oil can damage oven parts, utensils and can even
result in skin burns.
R
ead and follow the "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY".
