For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injur y, or loss of life. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual. When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
4 VENT FANThe 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 vent fan is in use. • 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, cookie sheet or flat tray. • Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filters.• When preparing flaming foods under the microwave, turn the fan on. • 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 vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate-sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! ARCING If you see arcing, press the OFF pad and correct the problem. Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by: • The metal shelf not installed correctly so it touches the microwave wall. • Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas). • Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or goldrimmed dishes, in the microwave. • Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.
FOODS 5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! • 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—are able to explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury. • 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. • 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. • 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. • 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. • 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.• SUPERHEATED WATER Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons: — Do not overheat the liquid. — Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it. — Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. — After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container. — Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container. • Don’t 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. • Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven. • Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE 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.” • If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, 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 30–45 seconds 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 microwave-safe. • If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens. • 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. • Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than 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 1 inch away from the sides of the oven. • 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. • 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. • 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. • 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. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite. Follow these guidelines: 1Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations. 2Do not microwave empty containers. 3Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.
