d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the cavity when not in use.
9. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can
be overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling due to surface tension
of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when
the container is removed from the microwave
oven is not always present. THIS COULD
RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY
BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To
reduce the risk of injury to person:
1) Do not overheat the liquid.
2) Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
3) Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
4) After heating, allow the container to stand
in the microwave oven for a short time before
removing the container.
5) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon
or other utensil into the container.
10. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is
difficult to control the temperature of oil in
microwave oven.
11. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as
potatoes, whole squash, apples and chestnuts
before cooking.
12. The contents of feeding bottles and baby
jars should be stirred or shaken and the
temperature should be checked before serving
