Safety Fact- SUPERHEATEDWATER

Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach

the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all.

Superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when

something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.

To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for

more than 2 minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the

microwave for 30 seconds before moving it or putting anything into it.

* Avoid heating baby fi.)od in glass jars,

even with the lid oil. Make sure all infimt

lbod is thoroughly cooked. Stir lk)od to

distribute the heat evenly. Be carefixl to

prevent scalding when warming lk)rnmla

or breast milk. [he container may lk_el

cooler than the milk really is. Always test

the milk bell)re l)eding the baby.

e Spontaneous boiliilg-[Jnder certain

special circumstances, liquids may start

to boil during or shortly afier removal

li-om the microwave oven. To prevent

bums li-om splashing liquid, we

recommend the fi)llowing: belk)re

removing the conlainer fi-om the oven,

allow the container to stand in the oven

lbr 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has

shut o11. Do ilOl boil liquids iil narrow-

necked containers such as sofi drink

bottles, x_ine flasks and especially

narrow-necked coll_:e cups. Even if the

container is opened, excessive steam can

build up and cause it to bin-st or

overflow.

• DO IIOt defi-ost fi-ozeil beverages iIl

narrow-necked botdes (especially

carbonated beverages). Even if the

container is opened, pressure can build

up. [his can cause the comainer to

burst, possibly resulting iil iltjury.

• Hot l_)ods aild s_ealn tail cause bttrIlS.

Be careful when opeifing any containers

of hot lk)od, including popcon_ bags,

cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent

possible ir_juu, direct steam m_a_ l¥om

Microwave-Safe Cookware

Make sure all cookware used in your

microwave oven is suitable lk)r

cooking dishes, nleasuring cups, custard

cups, pottery or china diimemvare which

does not have metallic trim or glaze with a

metallic sheen can be used. Some

cookware is labeled "suitable lbr

How to test for a microwave-safe dish

. If you are ilot sure ira dish is microwave-

sal_, use this test: Place in the oven both

the dish you are testing arid a glass

measuring cup filled wilh 1 cup of

water--set the measuring cup either in

or next to the dish. Microwave 30 45

seconds at high. if the dish heats, it

should not be used lbr microwaving.

If the dish remains cool arid only the

water in the cup heats, then the dish is

microwave-sal_.

, If you use a meat thermometer while

cooking, make sure it is sale l_.)r use lit

lllicrowave ()veils.

• Some slyrol_)am trays (like those dmt

meat is packaged on) have a thin strip of

metal embedded in the bottom. When

microwaved, the metal can burn the

floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

• DO IlOt use recycled paper products.

Recycled paper towels, napkins and

waxed paper can contain metal flecks

which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper

products contaiifing nylon or nyh)n

filaments should be avoided, as they may

also ignite.

• Do not use the microwave to dry

newspapers.

• Not all plastic wrap is suitable lbr use in

microwave ovens. Check the package liar

proper use.

• Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic

wrap can be used to cover dishes in

order to retain moisture and prevent

spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap

so steam can escape.

• Cookware nlay become hot because of

heat transferred fiom the heated lbod.

Pot holders m W be needed m handle the

cookware.

* "Boilable" cooking pouches and dghtly

closed plastic hags should he slit, pierced

or vented as direcmd by package, if they

are not, plastic could burst during or

immediately after cooking, possibly

resulting in illju U. Also, plastic storage

containers should be at least partially

tmcovered because they li)nn a tight

seal. When cooking with conmiImrs

tightly covered with plastic _wap, remove

covering carefully and direct steam away

li-om hands and l_tce.

IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION

Grounding Instructions

Ensure proper ground

exists before use

Consuh a qualified electrician or service

technidan if the grounding instructions

are riot completely understood, or if

doubt exists as to whether the appliance

is properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall

outlet, it is your personal responsibilily

and obligation 1() have it replaced with a

properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Improper use of the grounding plug

can result in a risk of electric shock.

['his appliance must be grounded. In

the event of an electrical short circuit,

grounding reduces the risk of electric

shock b} providing an escape wire lbr

the electric current.

['his appliance is equipped with a power

cord having a grounding wire with a

grouilding plug. 'lhe plug must be

plugged imo an outlet that is properly

installed and grounded.

Do llOt tl_lde r ally circl]lT_sla_(;es tilt or

remove the lhird (grolmd) prong liom

the power (ord.

We do not recoimnend using an extension

cord with this appliance, if the power cord

is too short, have a qualified electrician or

sec,'ice technician install an outlet near

the appliance. (See WARNING Extension

Cords section.)

For best operation, plug this appliance

imo its own electrical outlet to prevent

flickering of lights, blowing ofluse or

tripping of circuit breaker.

IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION

Adapter Plugs

Usage situations where appliance's

power cord will be disconnected

infrequently.

(Adapter plugs not

permitted in Canada)

__1._Align large

prongs/slot _ ..

_"_"-_ I_E_lsurepm_erground

and firm collneetion

TEMPORARY before use

METHOD

Because of potcmial salety hazards under

certain conditions,we strongly recommend

against the use of an adapter plug.

However, if you still elect to use an adapter,

where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY

CONNECTION ma} be made to a properly

grounded lwo-prong wall receptacle by the

use of a U Llisted adapter which is available

at most local hard_are stores.

['he lm-ger slot in the adapter IlIUStbe

aligned with the larger slot in the wall

receptacle to provide proper polari U in the

connection of llae power cord.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter

ground terminal to the wall receptacle

cover screw does not ground the

appliance unless the cover screw is

metal, and not insulated, and the wall

receptacle is grounded through the

house wiring.

You should have the circuit checked b>

a qualified electrician to make sure the

receptacle is properly gq-ounded.

When disconimcfing the power cord fi-om

the adapter, alwa_,s hold the adapter with

one hand. If this is not done, the adapter

ground terminal is very likely to break with

repeated use. Should this happen, DO

NOT USE the appliance until a proper

ground has again been established.

Usage situations where appliance's

power cord will be disconnected

frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these

situations because fi-equent disconnection

of the power cord places t]ildtle strain on

the adapter and leads to eventual lhilure of

the adapter ground temfiiml. You should

have the two-prong wall receptacle

replaced with a three-prong (gToundiiN)

receptacle b_, a qualified electrician belore

using the appliance.
