Operating safety precautions
^WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns, fire,
electrical shock, injury to persons, or
damage when using the microwave oven,
follow the precautions on pages 6-7.
Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside
the shell. Steam build-up in whole eggs
may cause them to burst and burn you, and
possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled
eggs before heating. In rare instances,
poached eggs have been known to explode.
Cover poached eggs and allow a standing
time of one minute before cutting into them.
Stir before heating
For best results, stir any liquid several
times before heating or reheating. Liquids
heated in certain containers (especially
cylindrical containers) may become over­
heated. The liquid may splash out with a
loud noise during or after heating or when
adding ingredients (coffee, etc.) resulting in
harm to the oven and possible personal
injury.
Never lean on the door or allow a child to
swing on it when the door is open. Injury
could result.
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not
heat containers, but the hot food does.
Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could
result. At the end of the recommended
cooking time, potatoes should be slightly
firm because they will continue cooking
during standing time. After microwaving,
wrap potatoes in foil and set aside for
5 minutes. They will finish cooking while
standing.
