the liquid beyond boiling point
can occur without evidence
of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil
over of the hot liquid.
If you practice operating the oven, put a
glass of water inside. The water will absorb the
microwave energy and the oven will not be
damaged.
To prevent this possibility the following steps
should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
Do not use the cavity for any storage
purposes.
2. Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the oven and let the teaspoon remain
in the container.
3. After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container from the oven.
Do not remove the microwave inlet
protection plates located on the side of the
oven cavity wall. They prevent grease & food
particles from entering the microwave inlet
channels.
