SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 164D3370P066 6-98 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Special Notes About Microwaving Arcing If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem. Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by: • Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold-rimmed dishes, in the microwave. • Metal or foil touching the side of the oven. • Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave. • Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas). Foods • Operating the microwave with no food inside for more than a minute or two may cause damage to the oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the oven. • Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens. • Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed jars—will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury. • 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. • Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury. 164D3370P066 6-98 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL INFORMATION BEFORE USING Safety Fact – SUPERHEATED WATER Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all. Superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it. To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for 30 seconds before moving it or putting anything into it. • Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury. • 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 or breast milk. The container may feel cooler than the milk really is. Always test the milk before feeding the baby. • Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face. • Spontaneous boiling—Under certain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we recommend the following: before removing the container from the oven, allow the container to stand in the oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in narrownecked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine flasks and especially narrow-necked coffee cups. Even if the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst or overflow. • Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven. • Cook meat and poultry thoroughly— meat to as least INTERNAL 71°C (160°F) and poultry to at least INTERNAL 82°C (180°F). Cooking to these internal temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness. 164D3370P066 6-98 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Special Notes About Microwaving Microwave-Safe Cookware • Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite. Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.” • Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers. • Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use. • Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape. How to test for a microwave-safe dish. • If you are not sure if a dish is microwavesafe, use this test: Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water—set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwavesafe. • Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware. • “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face. • If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens. • Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel. 164D3370P066 6-98 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL INFORMATION BEFORE USING Microwave-Safe Cookware (continued) • Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than 2 cm (3/4″) high; remove the top foil cover and return the tray to the box. When using foil in the microwave oven, keep the foil at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the sides of the oven. In longer exposures to over-cooking, the food and cookware could ignite. Follow these guidelines: 1. Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations. • Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. 2. Do not microwave empty containers. 3. Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision. The Exhaust Fan • Use care when cleaning the exhaust fan filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filters. The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions (see Automatic Fan feature). Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the exhaust fan is in use. • When flaming foods under the microwave, turn the exhaust fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame. • Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow grease to build up on the microwave or the fan filters. • In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the microwave oven, smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray. • Never leave surface units beneath your microwave oven unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the microwave exhaust fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary. 164D3370P066 6-98 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Grounding Instructions/Optional Kits Grounding Instructions Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Ensure proper ground exists before use. WARNING Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance. This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.
