160℉

 To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area,
away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during
cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling dishes and utensils

that are in contact with hot food. Heat from the food can transfer through
them and cause burns.
Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands.

Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering to allow steam to escape.
Carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.
Stay near the oven while it's in use and check cooking progress frequently

so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
 NEVER use the oven cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
 Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve quality and minimize the
spread of food-borne bacteria.
 Keep the waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or
fires.
 Use care when removing items from the oven so that dishes, utensils,
clothes, or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.
