IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be
heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a
microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high enough
for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points
and burst into flames. The heated oil may bubble and
spatter causing possible damage to the oven and
perhaps result in burns. Additionally, microwave–safe
utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of
the hot oil, and could result in the utensil shattering, if it
contains a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.
Home Canning / Drying foods / Small quantities of
foods: Do not use microwave oven for home canning or
heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the
jar may explode. In addition, the oven cannot maintain
the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly
canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture
content can dry out, burn or catch on fire.
Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your
oven.
Proper cooking depends on time set and weight of food.
If you use a smaller portion than recommended and
cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could
result.
Browning dishes: Microwave browning dishes or grills
are designed for microwave cooking only. Preheating
times vary depending on the size of the browning dish
and food being cooked. Always follow instructions
provided by the browning dish or grill manufacturer. Do
not preheat browning dishes more than 6 minutes.
Oven roasting bags: If an oven bag is used for
microwave cooking, prepare according to package
directions. Do not use wire twist–ties to close bags,
instead use nylon ties, cotton string or a strip cut from
the open end of the bag. Make six ½" (12.7 mm) slits by
closure. Place oven cooking bag in a dish slightly larger
than the food being cooked.
Cooking Utensils
See also Microwave Utensil Guide.
Cooking utensils, the glass tray and racks get hot during
microwaving. Always use potholders when removing
items from the oven. Allow the glass tray and the metal
racks (if used) to cool before handling.
Do not use metal utensils, or dishes with metallic trim in
the oven.
When using aluminum foil in the oven, allow at least 1"
(25.4 mm) of space between foil and interior oven walls
or door.
The glass tray and the metal racks (if used) will get hot
during cooking. The cooking container and the glass tray
can be hot even if the oven is cool.
Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials
that are not intended for cooking.
When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials, follow manufacturer's recommendations on
product use. Do not use paper towels which contain
nylon or synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt
and cause paper to ignite
Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in oven.
Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container
or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before
cooking.
Glass Tray / Turntable Ring
Do not operate the oven without the turntable roller rest
and the glass tray in place.
Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place.
Improper cooking or damage to the oven could result.
Verify that the glass tray is properly positioned and
turning when the oven is in use.
Note: The glass tray can turn in either direction.
Only use the glass tray designed for this oven. Do not
substitute any other tray.
Allow the glass tray to cool before cleaning or placing in
water.
Do not place food directly on the glass tray. Always place
food in a microwave safe dish.
Always replace the turntable ring and the glass tray in
their proper positions.
The turntable ring must always be used for cooking
along with the glass tray.
Exhaust Mode Operation
When the microwave is operated in exhaust mode
simultaneously with a different burner, care must be
taken to ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh
air which will be needed by the burner for combustion.
WARNING
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning - Provide adequate air
intake so combustion gases are not drawn back into the
room.
Thermometers
Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven. Most
cooking thermometers contain mercury and may cause
electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to the oven.
Pacemakers
CAUTION
To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physician or
pacemaker manufacturer about effects of microwave
energy on pacemaker.
