Installation
DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat. If the oven overheats, a thermal safety device will turn the oven off. The oven will remain inoperable until it has cooled.

Food Preparation

Follow these Safety Precautions when cooking in your oven. IMPORTANT
Proper cooking depends upon the power, the time setting and quantity of food. If you use a smaller portion than recommended but cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could result.

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.

1. HOME CANNING / STERILIZING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL QUANTITIES OF FOODS
   · 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.

6

Food Preparation (continued)

· 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.
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 burns. Microwave utensils 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 SLICED 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 or old potatoes can cause fire.

· If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to package directions. DO NOT use a wire twist-tie to close bag. Instead use plastic ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag.
8) THERMOMETERS · DO NOT use a conventional
meat thermometer in your oven. Arcing may occur. Microwave safe thermometers are available for both meat and candy.
9) BABY FORMULA / BABY FOOD · DO NOT heat baby formula or baby
food in the microwave oven. The glass jar or surface of the food may appear warm while the interior can be so hot as to burn the infant’s mouth and esophagus.
10) REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS · When reheating pastry products, check temperatures of any
fillings before eating. Some foods have fillings, which heat faster and can be extremely hot, while the surface remains warm to the touch (for example, jelly donuts).

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 Tray. 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 cooking. 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 door.
   · Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing may occur.

6. GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES · DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the
   preparation of food.

7. PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS
   · DO NOT use paper towels or cloths that contain a synthetic fiber woven into them. The synthetic fiber may cause the towel to ignite. Use paper toweling under supervision.

8. BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS

· Only use browning dishes that are designed

for microwave cooking. Check browning dish

information for instructions/heating chart.

DO NOT preheat browning dish more than six minutes.
