example, closed jars-are able to explode and should not be
heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave
oven could result in injury.

oven. Pressure will build up
inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in
injury.
[] 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

beverages). Even if the container is
opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to
burst, possibly resulting in injury.

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. THISCOULD RESULT

CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTEDINTO 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 container 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.
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
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.
