IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Stir or turn the food several times during cooking. 

Check the temperature.

After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 

5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.

Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when 

removing plates from the oven.

Cooking Items
Eggs: 
Do not cook or reheat whole eggs, with or without 

shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to 

explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. 

Reheating sliced hard-boiled eggs and cooking 

scrambled eggs is safe.
Popcorn: Use only popcorn in packages designed and 

labeled for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave oven 

corn popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions 

and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your oven. 

Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. 

Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven 

unattended.

CAUTION

When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check 

package weight before using the popcorn function. Set 

the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If these 

instructions are not followed, popcorn may not pop 

adequately or may ignite and cause fire.

Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet 

potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are 

examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of 

foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them 

from exploding.
Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or 

food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of 

food may appear warm while the interior can burn the 

infant’s mouth and esophagus.
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 ceramic tray and racks get hot 

during microwaving. Always use potholders when 

removing items from the oven. Allow the ceramic 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 inch (25 mm) of space between foil and interior oven 

walls or door.
The ceramic tray and the metal racks (if used) will get hot 

during cooking. The cooking container and the ceramic 

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. 

Metal Tray Turntable 
Do not operate the oven without the metal tray turntable 

in place.
Verify that the metal tray turntable is properly positioned 

and turning when the oven is in use. Improper cooking or 

damage to the oven could result. 
Only use the metal tray turntable designed for this oven. 

Do not substitute any other tray.
Always replace the metal tray in its proper position.
