Cuisinart AMW-60 Instruction And Recipe Booklet page 3

20. Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea can be overheated beyond the
boiling point without appearing to be boiling. This is called delayed
eruptive boiling. 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 THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR
A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
21. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
Use wide-mouth containers.
b. Stir liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
c. Do not overheat liquid.
d. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the
container. This may also cause delayed eruptive boiling.
e. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven
for at least 20 seconds before removing the container.
22. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall
cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage, always unplug the
unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of
fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the
door touches the unit as it closes.
23. The oven must be placed on a level surface.
24. The glass tray and turntable assembly must be in the oven during
cooking. Handle the glass turntable carefully and place cookware
on it gently to avoid possible breakage.
25. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
26. Incorrect use of browning dish may cause the turntable to break.
See information about cookware you can use, page 9.
27. Use only the correctly specified bag size when using the preset
popcorn program.
28. The oven has several built-in safety switches to ensure that the power
remains off when the door is open. Do not tamper with these switches.
29. Do not operate the microwave oven when empty. Operating the oven
with no food or food that is extremely low in moisture can cause fire,
charring or sparking.
30. Do not cook bacon directly on the turntable. Excessive local heating
of the turntable may cause the turntable to break.
31. Do not preheat empty oven with glass tray in place.
32. Do not heat baby bottles or baby food in the microwave oven.
Uneven heating/hotspots may occur and cause injury.
33. Do not heat narrow-necked containers, such as syrup bottles.
34. Do not attempt to deep-fry in your microwave oven.
35. Do not attempt home canning in this microwave oven, as it is impossible
to be sure all contents of the jar have reached boiling temperature.
36. Do not use this microwave oven for commercial purposes.
This microwave oven is made for household use only.
37. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to
deterioration that could adversely affect the life of the appliance
and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
38. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking off parts.
39. Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in
a microwave/toaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric
shock.
40. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad
and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.
41. Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in the toaster
mode.
42. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's recommended
accessories, in this oven when not in use.
43. Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This
will cause overheating of the oven.
