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.
■ Potentially hot surfaces include the
oven door, floor, walls, oven rack and
turntable.
■ 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.
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 or the wire oven rack
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 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.
