1 . 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
correct canning temperature. Improperly
canned food may
spoil and be
dangerous to consume,
2. Do not attempt to deep
fat fry
in your microwave oven.
3. Do not boil eggs in their shell, (unless otherwise stated
in
cookbook
section.) Pressure
will build up and the eggs will
explode.
4. 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.
5. Stir liquids several times during heating to avoid
eruption
of
the
liquid from the container, e.g. water, milk
or milk based
fluids.
6. DO NOT USE A
CONVENTIONAL
MEAT
THERMOMETER iN THE MICROWAVE
OVEN. To
check
the degree of
coolcing
of roasts and
pouitry 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. (See the cookbook section for
further
information.)
7. COOKING TIMES given In the
coolcbook section are
APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect cooking
time are
preferred degree of moisture content, starting temperature,
altitude, volume, size,
shape
of food and utensils used. As
you
become familiar
with the oven, you
will
be
able
to
adjust
for these
factors.
8.
It Is
better
to
UNDERCOOK
RATHER THAN
OVERCOOK
foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be
returned to the
oven
for
further
cooking. If
food Is overcooked, nothing
can be
done. Always start with minimum cooking
times
recommended,

Cook for minimum time
as
recommended by
manufacturer.
Use the directions suitable for the wattage of your
oven.
