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—will 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

•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.

•Spontaneous boiling—

Under certain special

circumstances, liquids

may start to boil during

or shortly after removal

from the microwave oven.

To prevent burns from

splashing liquid, we

recommend the following:

before removing the

container from the oven,

allow the container to

stand in the oven for 30

to 40 seconds after the

oven has shut off. Do not

boil liquids in narrow-

necked containers such

as soft drink bottles, wine

flasks and especially

narrow-necked coffee

cups. Even if the

container is opened,

excessive steam can build

up and cause it to burst

or overflow.

•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.

SAFETY

FACT

SUPERHEATED WATER

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.

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 1 minute 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 ther-

mometer 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 micro-

wave 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 immed-

iately 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 inch 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 over-

cooking, the food and

cookware could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

Use microwave-safe

plastics only and use

them in strict compliance

with the cookware

manufacturer’s

recommendations.

Do not microwave empty

containers.

Do 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.

stood, 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 responsibility

and obligation to have it

replaced with a properly

grounded 3-prong wall

outlet.

Do not under any circum-

stances cut or remove the

third (ground) prong from

the power cord.

Do not use an adapter plug

with this appliance.

Do not use an extension

cord with this appliance. If

the power cord is too short,

have a qualified electrician

or service technician install
