Precautions • Place the front surface of the door three inches or more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven during normal use. • To program the oven, make sure you touch the center of each pad firmly since the areas between the pads will not activate the oven. A tone will sound each time a pad is touched correctly. Don't touch several pads at once. • Do not strike the control panel with silverware, utensils, etc. Breakage may occur. • Always use caution when taking cookware out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and may be hot. See Cookware Guide earlier in this section for more information. • Do not rinse containers by placing them in water immediately after cooking. This may cause breakage. Also, always allow the turntable to cool before removing it from the oven. • Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or water should always be in the oven during operation to absorb the microwave energy. • Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes. They may catch fire. • Use thermometers that have been approved for microwave oven cooking. • The turntable must always be in place when you operate the oven. • Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it to burst. • There are several precautions to follow when microwaving popcorn: − Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe container or commercial packages designed for microwave ovens. − Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag that is not microwave-approved. − Overcooking may result in smoke and fire. − Do not repop unpopped kernels. − Do not reuse popcorn bags. − Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops. − Do not leave microwave unattended while popping corn. − Follow directions on bag.
