ABOUT SAFETY

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department
of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away
from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking,
unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in
contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils
to cause skin burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly
lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and
microwave oven cooking bags away from the face.
• Stay near the microwave oven while it's in use and check cooking progress
frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and
minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.
• Use care when removing items from the microwave oven so that the utensil,
your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.
• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from
walls, ceiling and door of microwave oven.
