SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL USE

1
DO NOT attempt to tamper with or make any adjust-
ments or repairs to door, control panel or any other
part of the oven. DO NOT remove outer case from
oven. Repairs should only be done by a qualified
service person.
2 DO NOT operate the oven empty. The microwave
energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven
if no food or water is present to absorb energy.
3 If a fire occurs in the oven, touch the STOP/CLEAR
pad and LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED.
Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the
fuse or circuit breaker panel.
4 DO NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspaper or other
materials in oven. They may catch on fire.
5 DO NOT use recycled paper products as they may
contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or
fires when used.
6 DO NOT hit or strike control panel, damage to
controls may occur.
7 AVOID inserting nails, wire, etc. through any holes
in the unit while operating the oven. Never insert a
wire, nail or any other metal object through the holes
on the cavity or any other holes or gaps because such
objects may cause electric shock and microwave
leakage.
UTENSILS
METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic
1
rims should not be used. Arcing may occur.
METAL TWIST-TIES must not be used in the
2
microwave oven.

ing.

For FURTHER INFORMATION on proper cooking
6
utensils, refer to the Introduction in the Microwave
cooking guide.
FOOD
1
Never use your microwave oven for HOME
CANNING. The oven is not designed to permit
proper canning. Improperly canned food may spoil
and be dangerous to consume.
2 COOKING TIMES given in the cooking guide are
APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect cooking
are: starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and
shape of foods and utensils used. As you become
familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for
these factors.
3 It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN
OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can
always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If
food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always
start with minimum cooking times.
4 SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with LOW
MOISTURE content can burn, dry out or catch on
fire if cooked too long.
5 DO NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build
up and the eggs will explode.
6 Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acorn squash and
sausage are examples of food with NONPOROUS
SKINS. These must be pierced before cooking to
prevent bursting.
7 POPCORN must be popped in a microwave corn
popper. Microwave popped corn produces a lower
yield than conventiolal popping. Do not pop popcorn
unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn
utensil or unless it's commercially packaged and
recommended especially for microwave ovens. Do
not use oil unless specifed by the manufacturer.
8 DO NOT attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
9 HEATED LIQUIDS can ERUPT if not mixed with
air. Do not heat liquids in your microwave oven
without first stirring.
