WARNING
17. Do not mount over a sink.
18. To reduce the risk of fire in the appliance cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appli-
ance when paper, plastic or other combustible
materials are placed inside the microwave oven
to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing bag in microwave oven.
c. If materials inside the appliance ignite, keep
microwave oven door closed, turn microwave
off and shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
d. Do not use the microwave oven for storage
purposes. Do not leave paper products, cook-
ing utensils, or food in the microwave oven
when not in use.
19. Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to
be overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of
the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the
container is removed from the appliance is not
always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY
HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN
A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO
THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating.
c. Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.
d. After heating, allow the container to stand in
the microwave oven for at least 20 seconds
before removing the container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the container.
20. If the oven light fails, consult a DACOR AUTHORIZED
SERVICER.
