							Operating safety precautions 
To reduce the rlsk of tire, electrlcal shock, Injury to 
persons, or damage when uslng the mlcrowave oven, 
follow the precautions on pages 22-24. 
NEVER COOK OR 
REHEAT A WHOLE EGG. 
Steam build-up in whole 
eggs may cause them to 
burst and burn you, and 
possibly damage the oven. 
Slice hard boiled eggs be- 
fore heating. In rare in- 
stances, poached eggs have 
been known to explode. 
Cover poached eggs and 
allow a standing time of one 
minute before cutting into 
them. 
USE HOT PADS. Microwave 
energy does not heat contain- 
ers, but the hot food does. 
v Stir before heating 
For best results stir any 
llquld several ttmes before 
heating or reheating. 
Liquids heated in certain 
containers (especially 
cylindrical-shaped containers) 
may become overheated. 
The liquid may splash out wlth 
a loud noise during or after 
heating or when adding 
ingredients (coffee, etc.) 
resulting in harm to the oven 
and possible personal injury 
NEVER lean on the door or 
allow a child to swing on It 
when the door Is open. Injury 
could result. 
DO NOT heat, store or use 
flammable materials in or 
near the oven. Fumes can 
create a fire hazard or 
explosion. DO NOT do canning of foods 
in the oven. Closed glass jars 
may explode resulting in 
damage to the oven or possi- 
ble personal injury. 
DO NOT use the oven to ster- 
ilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). 
It is difficult to maintain the high 
temperature required for safe 
sterilization. 
DO NOT deep fry in the oven. 
Microwavable utensils are not 
suitable and it is difficult to 
maintain appropriate deep 
frying temperatures. 
22  
						

							DO NOT use the oven for stor- 
age. Do not leave paper prod- 
ucts, books or cooking utensils 
in the oven when not in use. Fire 
may result if someone acciden- 
tally starts the oven. 
DO NOT let food or container 
touch the top or sides of the 
oven. 
If a fire should start in the 
oven cavity: 
l do not open oven door 
l touch CANCEL to turn 
oven off 
l turn off the power at the 
maln power supply 
DO NOT use newspaper or 
other printed paper in the oven, 
Fire could result. 
DO NOT dry flowers, fruit, 
herbs, wood, paper, gourds or 
clothes in the oven. Fire couid 
result. 
-. 
Starting a microwave oven 
when it is empty is not recom- 
mended. Product life may be 
shortened. If you practice 
programming the oven, put a 
container of water in the oven. 
It is normal for the inside of the 
oven door to look wavy after 
the oven has been running for 
a while. 
NEVER remove the mode 
mixer cover. The plastic cover 
protects the microwave mixer 
blade from soil or bending. 
DO NOT try to melt paraffin 
wax in the oven. Paraffin wax 
will not melt in a microwave 
oven because it allows micro- 
waves to pass through it. 
DO NOT OVERCOOK 
POTATOES. 
Fire could result. At 
the end of the recommended 
cooking time potatoes should 
be slightly firm because they 
will continue cooking during 
standing time. After microwav- 
ing, wrap potatoes in foil and 
set aside for 5 minutes. They will 
finish cooking while standing. 
DO NOT pop popcorn, 
except in a microwave 
approved popcorn popper 
or commercial package 
designed especially for mlcro- 
wave ovens. Follow dlrectlons 
supplied wlth the product. 
NEVER try to pop popcorn in 
a paper bag not designed for 
microwave use. Overcooking 
may result in smoke and fire. 
DO NOT repop unpopped 
kernels. DO NOT reuse 
popcorn bags.
