A WARNING!
FOODS
m 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.
• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will
build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst,
possibly resulting in injury.
m 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 magneU'on and can shorten the life
of the oven.
• Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as
potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples,
chicken rivers and other giblets, and egg yolks
should be pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers-for example, dosed jars-will explode
and should not be heated in this microwave
oven. Such use of the microwave oven could
result in injury.

• Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may
tend to boil more rapidly than foods containing
less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the
Careand cleaningof the microwave ovensection
for instructions on how to clean the inside of
the oven.
• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with
the 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 narrnw-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 injury.
• Spontaneous boiling--Under certain special
circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or
shortly after removal from the microwave oven.
To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we
recommend the following: before removing the
container from the oven, allow the container to
stand in the oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the
oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in narrow-
necked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine
flasks and especially narrow-necked coffee cups.
Even if the container is opened, excessive steam
can build up and cause it to burst or overflow.
• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful
when opening any containers of hot food,
including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and
boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam
away from hands and face.
• Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate
and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at
least an IN'IERNAL temperature of 160°F. and
poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of
180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.
