WARNING!
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Potentially hot surfaces include the
oven door, floor, walls, oven rack and
turntable.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 manual.
■ Metal cookware used during either
speedcook or microwave cooking
(except for the pans provided with
the oven).
■ Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins,
or gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.
■ Recycled paper towels containing small
metal pieces being used in the oven.
ARCING Arcing can occur during both speedcooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing, press the
CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ When microwaving, place all foods and
containers on the clear glass tray.
■ Do not pop popcorn in your oven unless
in a special microwave popcorn accessory
or unless you use popcorn labeled for use
in microwave ovens.
■ Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure
will build up inside egg yolk and will
cause it to burst, possibly resulting
in injury.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
