CAUTION

To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the
following:

1. DO NOT deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and

be hazardous to handle.

2. DO NOT cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an

unbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure
may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or knife
before cooking.

3. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar foods

before cooking with microwave energy. When skin is
pierced, steam escapes evenly.

4. DO NOT operate oven without load or food in oven

cavity.

5. Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled

for microwave use. Popping time varies depending on
oven wattage. Do not continue to heat after popping
has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not
leave oven unattended.

6. DO NOT use regular cooking thermometers in oven.

Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and may
cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to
oven.

7. DO NOT use metal utensils in oven.

8. Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible

materials that are not intended for cooking.

9. When cooking with paper, plastic, or other com-

bustible materials, follow manufacturer’s recom-
mendations on product use.

10. DO NOT use paper towels which contain nylon or

other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt
and cause paper to ignite.

11. 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.

12. To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physician or

pacemaker manufacturer about effects of microwave
energy on pacemaker.
