Spontaneous boiling--

Under certain special

recommend the tollowing:

betore removing the

container from the oven,

allow the container to

30 to 40 seconds after

the oven has sl-mt off.

Do not boil liquids in

narrow-necked containers

• Don't defrost Dozen

beverages in narrow-

necked bottles (especially

carbonated beverages).

Even if the container is

opened, pressure can

build up. This can cause

the container to burst,

possibly resulting in

ill.jury.

• Hot fi)ods and steam

careful when opening

any containers of hot

tbod, including popcorn

bags, cooking pouches

and boxes. To prevent

possible il/.iury, direct

• Cook meat and poultry

thoroughly--meat to at

temperature of 160°F.

and poultry to at least an

INTERNAL temperature

of 180°K Cooking to

these temperatures

usually protects against

SPECIAL NOTES ABO UF MICRO WAVING

Make sure all cookware

used in your microwave

oven is suitable lot

microwaving. Most glass

casseroles, cooking dishes,

measuring cups, custard

cups, pottery or china

dinnerware which does not

haw metallic trim or glaze

with a metallic sheen can

be used. Some cookware

is labeled "suitable lot

microwaving."

How to test for a microwave

safe dish.

• If you are not sure if

a dish is microwave-satE,

use this test: Place in the

oven both the dish you

are testing and a glass

measuring cup flled with

1 cup of water--set the

measuring cup either

in or next to the dish.

Microwave 30-45 seconds

at 1-figh. If the dish 1-mats,

it should not be used for

microwaving.

If the dish remains cool

and only the water in the

cup heats, then the dish

is microwave-satE.

If you use a meat thet_

mometer while cooking,

make sure it is sate tot

rise ill microwave O_llS.

• Do not use recycled

paper products. Recycled

paper towels, napkins

and waxed paper can

contain metal flecks

which may cause arcing

or ignite. Paper products

containing nylon or

nylon filaments should

be avoided, as they may

also ignite.

•Some sWroloam tl_,ty_s

(like those that meat is

packaged on) have a tl-fin

strip of metal embedded

in the bottom. YVhen

microwavcd, the metal can

burn the floor of the oven

or ignite a paper towel.

• Do not use the

microwave to dry

newspapers.

• Not all plastic wrap is

suitable tot use in micro-

wave ovens. Check the

package tot 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 may become

hot 1)ecause of heat

transJErred tiom the

heated tood. Pot holders

m_V be needed to handle

the cookware.

• "Boilable" cooking

pouches and tightly

closed plastic bags should

be slit, pierced or vented

as directed by package. If

they are not, plastic could

burst during or immed-

iately after cooking,

possibly resulting in ill.jury.

Also, plastic storage

containers should be at

least partially uncovered

because they form a tight

seal. ¼]-Jen cooking with

containers tightly covered

with plastic wrap, remove

covering carefiflly and

direct steam away tiom

hands and lace.

•Usetoil only as directed

in this n/anual. TV

dinners may be

accidental cooking fires

while the vent Lm is in use.

• Clean the underside of

the n/icrowave often.

Do not allow grease

to build lip on the

tim filters.

• In the event of a grease

fire on the surfi_ce units

below the microwave

oven, sn/other a flan/ing

pan on the surtace unit

by covering the pan

con/pie(ely with a lid, a

cookie sheet or a fiat tray.

• Use care when cleaning

Never leave surfi_ce units

beneath your n/icrowave

oven umtttended at high

heat settings. Boilovers

cause sn/oking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite

and spread if the
