To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the
following:
1. DO NOT deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and be

unbroken yolk using microwave energy.
Pressure may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork
or knife before cooking.
3. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar foods
before cooking with microwave energy. When skin is
pierced, steam escapes evenly.
4. DO NOT operate oven without load or food in oven
cavity.

microwave use. Popping time varies depending on oven
wattage. Do not continue to heat after popping has
stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven

Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and may
cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to oven.

materials, follow manufacturer's recommendations on
product use.
10. DO NOT use paper towels which contain nylon or other
synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt and cause
paper to ignite.
11. DO NOT heat sealed containers or plastic bags in
oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause

bag before cooking.

during or after use. Use utensils or protective clothing,
like pan grips or dry oven mitts, when necessary to
avoid burns.
