7R DYRLG ULVN RI ¿UH LQ WKH RYHQ FDYLW\
a. DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend oven
when paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing bag in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven
door CLOSED, turn oven off and disconnect
the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
d. DO NOT use the cavity for storage. DO NOT
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food
in the cavity when not in use.
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:
1. Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat
and be hazardous to handle.
2. Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with
an unbroken yolk using microwave energy.
Pressure may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk
with fork or knife before cooking.
3. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar
foods before cooking with microwave energy.
When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
4. Do not operate equipment without load or food
in oven cavity.
5. Microwave popcorn should not be popped in
oven.
6. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in
oven. Most cooking thermometers contain
mercury and may cause an electrical arc,

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to
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 persons:
i) Do not overheat the liquid.
ii) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
iii) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
iv) After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
v) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the container.
!

materials that are not intended for cooking.
10. When cooking with paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials, follow manufacturer's
recommendations on product use.
11. Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or

melt and cause paper to ignite.
12. Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in
oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and
cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open
container or bag before heating.
13. To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult
physician or pacemaker manufacturer about
effects of microwave energy on pacemaker.
