SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

Arcing is the microwave

term for sparks in the

oven. Arcing is caused by:

•Metal or foil touching

the side of the oven.

•Foil not molded to food

(upturned edges act like

antennas).

•Metal, such as twist-ties,

poultry pins, or gold-

rimmed dishes, in the

microwave.

•Recycled paper towels

containing small metal

pieces being used in the

microwave.

If you see arcing, press

the CLEAR/OFF pad and

correct the problem.

ARCING

•Do not pop popcorn in

your microwave oven

unless in a special

microwave popcorn

accessory or unless you

use popcorn labeled for

use in microwave ovens.

•Some products such as

whole eggs and sealed

containers—for example,

closed jars—are able to

explode and should not

be heated in this

microwave oven. Such use

of the microwave oven

could result in injury.

•Do not boil eggs in a

microwave oven. Pressure

will build up inside egg

yolk and will cause it to

burst, possibly resulting

in injury.

•Operating the microwave

with no food inside for

more than a minute or

two may cause damage to

the oven and could start a

fire. It increases the heat

around the magnetron

and can shorten the life

of the oven.

•Foods with unbroken

outer “skin” such as

potatoes, hot dogs,

sausages, tomatoes,

apples, chicken livers

and other giblets, and

egg yolks should be

pierced to allow steam

to escape during

cooking.

FOODS

SAFETY FACT

SUPERHEATED WATER

Liquids, such as water,

coffee or tea, are able to

be overheated beyond

the boiling point without

appearing to be 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 SPOON

OR OTHER UTENSIL IS

INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury

to persons:

— Do not overheat the

liquid.

— Stir the liquid both

before and halfway

through heating it.

— Do not use straight-

sided containers with

narrow necks.

— After heating, allow

the container to stand

in the microwave oven

for a short time before

removing the container.

— Use extreme care when

inserting a spoon or

other utensil into the

container.

•Avoid heating baby food

in glass jars, even with

the lid off. Make sure all

infant food is thoroughly

cooked. Stir food to

distribute the heat evenly.

Be careful to prevent

scalding when warming

formula or breast milk.

The container may feel

cooler than the milk

really is. Always test the

milk before feeding

the baby.

•Don’t defrost frozen

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

injury.

•Hot foods and steam

can cause burns. Be

careful when opening

any containers of hot

food, including popcorn

bags, cooking pouches

and boxes. To prevent

possible injury, direct

steam away from hands

and face.

•Do not overcook

potatoes. They could

dehydrate and catch

fire, causing damage

to your oven.

•Cook meat and poultry

thoroughly—meat to

at least an INTERNAL

temperature of 160°F

and poultry to at least an

INTERNAL temperature

of 180°F. Cooking to

these temperatures

usually protects against

foodborne illness.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

Make sure all cookware

used in your microwave

oven is suitable for

microwaving. Most glass

casseroles, cooking dishes,

measuring cups, custard

cups, pottery or china

dinnerware which does not

have metallic trim or glaze

with a metallic sheen can

be used. Some cookware

is labeled “suitable for

microwaving.”

•If you are not sure if a

dish is microwave-safe,

use this test: Place in the

oven both the dish you

are testing and a glass

measuring cup filled with

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 for

microwaving.

If the dish remains cool

and only the water in the

cup heats, then the dish

is microwave-safe.

•If you use a meat

thermometer while

cooking, make sure

it is safe for use in

microwave ovens.

•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 styrofoam trays

(like those that 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 not use the microwave

to dry newspapers.

•Not all plastic wrap is

suitable for use in

microwave ovens.

Check the package

for 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 because of heat

transferred from the

heated food. Pot holders

may 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

immediately after cooking,

possibly resulting in injury.

Also, plastic storage

containers should be at

least partially uncovered

because they form a tight

seal. When cooking with

containers tightly covered

with plastic wrap, remove

covering carefully and

direct steam away from

hands and face.

MICROWAVE-

SAFE

COOKWARE

How to test for a microwave-

safe dish.

•Use foil only as directed

in this guide. TV dinners

may be microwaved in

foil trays less than 3/4″

high; remove the top foil

cover and return the tray

to the box. When using

foil in the microwave

oven, keep the foil

at least 1″away from

the sides of the oven.

•Plastic cookware—Plastic

cookware designed for

microwave cooking is

very useful, but should

be used carefully. Even

microwave-safe plastic

may not be as tolerant of

overcooking conditions

as are glass or ceramic

materials and may soften

or char if subjected

to short periods of

overcooking. In longer

exposures to overcooking,

the food and cookware

could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

1Use microwave-safe

plastics only and use

them in strict compliance

with the cookware

manufacturer’s

recommendations.

2Do not microwave empty

containers.

3Do not permit children

to use plastic cookware

without complete

supervision.

The fan will operate

automatically under

certain conditions (see

Automatic Fan feature).

Take care to prevent the

starting and spreading of

accidental cooking fires

while the vent fan is in use.

•Clean the underside of

the microwave often. Do

not allow grease to build

up on the microwave or

the fan filters.

•In the event of a grease

fire on the surface units

below the microwave

oven, smother a flaming

pan on the surface unit

by covering the pan

completely with a lid, a

cookie sheet or a flat tray.

•Use care when cleaning

the vent fan filters.

Corrosive cleaning

agents, such as lye-based

oven cleaners, may

damage the filters.

•When preparing

flaming foods under

the microwave, turn

the vent fan on.

•Never leave surface units

beneath your microwave

oven unattended at high

heat settings. Boilovers

cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite

and spread if the

microwave vent fan is

operating. To minimize

automatic fan operation,

use adequate sized

cookware and use high

heat on surface units

only when necessary.
