IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
ARCING
If you see arcing, press the Cancel/Off pad and correct the problem.
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).
 Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold-rimmed
dishes, in the microwave.
 Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces
being used in the microwave.
FOODS
 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

oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in

 Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will
build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst,

 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.

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. The
container may feel cooler than the formula really is.
Always test the formula before feeding the baby.
 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
LQMXU\
 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.
