SAFETY PREGA UTIONS
Do not. operate the oven without
the turntable in place. The turntable
must be unrestricted so it can turn.
During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact any interior area of
the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.
Keep the oven free from grease
buildup.
I Cook meat and poultiw thoroughly—
meat to at least an INTERNAL" '
temperatuie of 160°F, and poultry to
at least an INTERNAl, temperature of
180°F. Cooking to these temperatures
usually protects against foodborne
illness.
I Potentially hot surfaces include the
oven door, floor, walls, oven rack and
turntable.
ARCING
Arcing can occur during holh spccdcooking and microwave cooking. If you .see arcing, press the
CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the prohlem.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks
in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
■ Metal or foil touching the side of
the oven.
■ Foil not molded to food (upturned
edges act like antennas).
■ Use foil only as recommended in
this guide.
I Metal cookware used during either
speedcook or microwave cooking
(except for the pans provided with
the oven).
I Metal, such as twist-ties, poultiy pins,
or gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.
I Recycled paper towels containing small
metal pieces being used in the oven.
FOODS
I When microwaydng, place all foods and
containers on the clear glass tray.
I Do not pop popcorn in your oven unless
in a special microwave popcorn accessory
or unless you use popcorn labeled for use
in mici'owave ovens.
I Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure
will build up inside egg yolk and will
cause it to burst, possibly resulting
in iiijuiy.
I Do not operate the oven without food
inside. This may cause damage to the
oven. It increases the heat around the
magnetron and can shorten the life of
the oven.
I 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.
