READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If you see arcing, press the Stop/Clear pad and correct the problem.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the
oven. Arcing is caused by:
n Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
n Plates or dishes with metallic trim or glaze
with a metallic sheen.
n Do not pop popcorn in your drawer
microwave unless in a special microwave
popcorn accessory or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in microwave
ovens.
n Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers—for example, closed
jars—are able to explode and should not
be heated in this drawer microwave. Such
use of the drawer microwave could result in
injury.
n Do not operate the microwave without food
inside the oven.
n Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as
potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other giblets and
egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam
to escape during cooking.
n 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.
could be caught in the guides.
n Be sure that the food and containers are shorter than the
drawer before closing it. You can refer to the height of the
side walls of the drawer.
n As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children
n Be careful when touching the floor, door and walls of the
oven which may become hot during use.
n Foil not molded to food.
n Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or
gold-rimmed dishes, in the microwave.
n Recycled paper towels containing small
metal pieces being used in the microwave.
n 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 drawer
microwave 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 container with
narrow necks.
— After heating, allow the container to
stand in the drawer microwave for
a short time before removing the
container.
— Use extreme care when inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the container.
n Do not overcook potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage
to your oven.
n 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.
