SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For Household Use Only
17. Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially
cylindrical-shaped containers) may become overheated.
The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after
heating or when adding ingredients (instant coffee, etc.),
resulting in harm to the oven and possible injury. In all
containers, for best results, stir the liquid several times
before heating. Always stir liquid several times between
re-heating.
18. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling, care must be taken when handling the
containers.
19. Liquids such as water, coffee, hot chocolate, or tea are
able to be overheated beyond the boiling point. 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 Avoid this from occurring:
a. Do not over heat liquid.
b. Stir the liquid before and halfway through heating it.
c. After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
d. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
e. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
20. Do not fry food in the microwave oven. Hot oil can
damage oven parts and utensils and even result in
personal injuries.
21. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers
should not be heated in the microwave oven. For
example, heating eggs in their shells, whole hard-boiled
eggs or closed glass jars can explode and should not be
heated in the microwave oven.
22. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole
squashes, apples and chestnuts before cooking.
23. Avoid heating small-necked containers like honey or
syrup bottles.
24. Avoid using corrosive and vapors, such as sulfide and
chloride.
25. Cooking containers may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Use potholders to
remove the containers from the microwave oven.
26. Always make sure that your cooking containers are
microwave safe.
27. WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a
trained person to carry out any service or repair operation
which involves the removal of any cover which gives
protection against exposure to microwave energy.
