ABOUT SAFETY
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United
States Department of Agriculture's recommended

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a
thick or dense area away from fat or bone. Never leave
the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is
approved for oven use.

• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when
handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils
to cause skin burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the
face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's
covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking
bags away from the face.
• Stay near the oven while it's in use and check cooking
progress frequently so that there is no chance of
overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other
items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its
high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne
bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause
arcing and/or fires.
• Use care when removing items from the oven so that
the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch
the safety door latches.
