3) DEEP FAT FRYING
• DO NOT deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Cooking oils
may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven
and may result in burns. Microwave utensils may not
withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or
melt.
4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS
• DO NOT COOK / REHEAT WHOLE EGGS, WITH OR
WITHOUT THE
SHELL.
Steam buildup in
whole eggs may
cause them to
explode, and possibly
damage the oven or
cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard-boiled eggs and
cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.
• Potatoes, apples, whole squash
and sausages are examples of
foods with nonporous skins. These
types of foods must be pierced
before microwave cooking to
prevent them from exploding.
CAUTION: Cooking dry or old
potatoes can cause fire.
5) GLASS TRAY / COOKING CONTAINERS / FOIL
• Cooking containers get hot during microwaving. Heat is
transferred from the HOT food to the container and the
Glass Tray. Use pot holders when removing containers
from the oven or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers
from cooking containers, to avoid burns.
• The Glass Tray will get hot during cooking. It should be
allowed to cool before handling or before paper products,
such as paper plates or microwave popcorn bags, are
placed in the oven for microwave cooking.
• When using foil in the oven, allow at least 1-inch (2.5 cm)
of space between foil and interior oven walls or door.
• Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing may
occur.
6) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS
• DO NOT use paper towels or cloths that contain a synthetic
fiber woven into them. The synthetic fiber may cause the
towel to ignite. Use paper toweling under supervision.
7) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS
• Only use browning dishes that are designed for microwave
cooking. Check browning dish information for instructions/
heating chart.
DO NOT preheat browning dish more than six minutes.
• If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave cooking,
prepare according to package
directions. DO NOT use a wire twist-
tie to close bag. Instead use plastic
ties, cotton string or a strip cut from
the open end of the bag.
Food Preparation (continued)
8) THERMOMETERS
• DO NOT use a conventional meat
thermometer in your oven. Arcing
may occur.
Microwave safe thermometers are
available for both meat and candy.
9) BABY FORMULA / BABY FOOD
• DO NOT heat baby formula or baby
food in the microwave oven. The
glass jar or surface of the food may
appear warm while the interior can be
so hot as to burn the infant's mouth
and esophagus.
10) REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS
• When reheating pastry products, check temperatures of
any fillings before eating. Some foods have fillings, which
heat faster and can be extremely hot, while the surface
remains warm to the touch (for example, jelly donuts).
11) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES
• DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the
preparation of food.
