  • DO NOT use your oven for home canning. Your oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. The food may be contaminated and then spoil.
  • DO NOT use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization.
  • DO NOT dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated.

2) POPCORN

Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven corn popper. Microwave popcorn that pops in its own package is also available. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable for the cooking power of your microwave oven.

CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, you can follow recommended package instructions or use the Popcorn button (refer to page 10). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave the oven unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool before opening, and always open the bag facing away from your face and body to prevent steam burns.

3) DEEP FAT FRYING

  • DO NOT deep-fat fry in your microwave oven. Cooking oils may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven and may result in Microwave utensils that may not withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.

4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS

  • DO NOT COOK / REHEAT WHOLE EGGS, WITH OR WITHOUT THE SHELL

Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating SUCED hard-boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.

  • Potatoes, apples, whole squash, and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before microwave cooking to prevent them from exploding.
    CAUTION: Cooking dry ovoid potatoes can cause a fire.

5) GLASS TRAY / COOKING CONTAINERS / FOIL

  • Cooking containers get hot during microwaving. Heat is transferred from the HOT food to the container and the Glass Use pot holders when removing containers from the oven or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers from cooking containers, to avoid burns.
  • The Glass Tray will get hot during It should be allowed to cool before handling or before paper products, such as paper plates or microwave popcorn bags, are placed in the oven for microwave cooking.
  • When using foil in the oven, allow at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of space between foil and interior oven walls or doors.
  • Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing may occur.

6) PAPER TOWELS/CLOTHS

  • DO NOT use paper towels or cloths that contain a synthetic fiber woven into The synthetic fiber may cause the towel to ignite. Use paper toweling under supervision.
