IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Caution
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Briskly stir or pour liquids before heating with
microwave energy to prevent spontaneous boiling or
eruption. Do not overheat. If air is not mixed into a
liquid, liquid can erupt in oven or after removal
from oven.
2. Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and
be hazardous to handle.
3. Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an
unbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure
may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or knife
before cooking.
4. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar foods
before cooking with microwave energy. When skin is
pierced, steam escapes evenly.
5. Pop popcorn in microwave mode only. If oven is
preheated or hot, allow oven to cool before popping
popcorn or bag may ignite.
6. Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled
for microwave use. Popping time varies depending
on oven wattage. Do not continue to heat after
popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn.
Do not leave oven unattended.
7. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven
when cooking in microwave or combination mode.
Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and
may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or damage
to oven.
8. Do not heat baby bottles in oven.

9. Do not use metal utensils in oven except when
recommended by microwave food manufacturers or
recipe requires metal utensils in convection or
combination mode. Heat food in containers made of
glass or china if possible.
10. Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials that are not intended for cooking. If oven
temperature is high, material may ignite.
11. When cooking with paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials, follow manufacturer's
recommendations on product use.
12. Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or other
synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt and
cause paper to ignite.
13. Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags
in oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and
cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open
container or bag before heating.
14. Racks, utensils, and oven surfaces may become hot
during or after use. Use utensils or protective
clothing, like pan grips or dry oven mitts, when
necessary to avoid burns.
15. Do not use rack position if rack hook breaks.
Replace broken hooks immediately.
16. Do not unplug oven immediately after use. Internal
fan must cool oven to avoid damage of electrical
components.
17. To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physician or
pacemaker manufacture about effects of
microwave energy on pacemaker.
