14. Do NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food
products. Do NOT clean this oven with any product that is labelled
as containing corrosive chemicals. The heating of corrosive
chemicals in this oven may cause microwave radiation leaks.
15. Do not use your oven for home canning or the heating of any
closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In
addition, the microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the
correct canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil
and be dangerous to consume.
16. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.
17. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash and sausages are
examples of foods with nonporous skins. This type of food must be
pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting.
18. DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE
MICROWAVE OVEN. To check the degree of cooking of roasts and
poultry use a MICROWAVE THERMOMETER. Alternatively, a
conventional meat thermometer may be used after the food is
removed from the oven. If undercooked, return meat or poultry to
the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the recommended
power level. It is important to ensure that meat and poultry are
thoroughly cooked.
19. Extreme care should be taken when cooking popcorn in a
microwave oven. Cook for the minimum time as recommended by
the popcorn manufacturer. Use the directions suitable for the
wattage of your microwave oven. NEVER leave the microwave
oven unattended when popping popcorn.
