• 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.

• 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.

• Foods with unbroken outer ‘‘skin’’ such as

potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken

livers and other giblets and egg yolks should

be pierced to allow steam to escape during

cooking.

• Do not overcook potatoes. They could

dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage

to your oven.

• 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.

• 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. The container may

feel cooler than the formula really is. Always

test the formula before feeding the baby.

• Do not 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven

unless it is in a special microwave popcorn

accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled

for use in microwave ovens.

FOODS

ARCING

If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad

and correct the problem.

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.
