About Foods 33 BEFORE USING MICROWAVE CAUTION • Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers-for example, closed jars- will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury. • 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. • 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 microwave oven, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the microwave oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in narrow-necked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine flasks, or especially narrow-necked coffee cups. Even if the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst or overflow. • Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-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. • 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. IMPORTANT • Operating the microwave with no food inside for more than a minute or two may cause damage to the microwave oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the microwave oven. • Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your microwave oven. • 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. • 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. • 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 or breast milk. The container may feel cooler than the milk really is. Always test the milk before feeding the baby. • Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 165°F Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against food-borne illness.

BEFORE USING MICROWAVE
About Foods
CAUTION
•
Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers—for example, closed jars—
will explode and should not be heated in this
microwave oven. Such use of the microwave
oven could result in injury.
•
Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pres-
sure will build up inside egg yolk and will
cause it 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 remov-
ing the container from the microwave oven,
allow the container to stand in the microwave
oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the micro-
wave oven has shut off
. Do not boil liquids
in narrow-necked containers such as soft
drink bottles, wine flasks, or especially nar-
row-necked coffee cups. Even if the container
is opened, excessive steam can build up and
cause it to burst or overflow.
•
Do not defrost frozen beverages in nar-
row-necked bottles (especially carbonated
beverages). Even if the container is opened,
pressure can build up. This can cause the con-
tainer to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
•
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 inju-
ry, direct steam away from hands and face.
IMPORTANT
•
Operating the microwave with no food inside
for more than a minute or two may cause
damage to the microwave oven and could
start a fire. It increases the heat around the
magnetron and can shorten the life of the
microwave oven.
•
Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehy-
drate and catch fire, causing damage to your
microwave oven.
•
Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven
unless in a special microwave popcorn accesso-
ry or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
•
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.
•
Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with
the lid off
. Make sure all infant food is thorough-
ly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat even-
ly. Be careful to prevent scalding when warming
