IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave
energy:
Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.
■
Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
■
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY" found in this section.
The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to
■
properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS" found in this section.
Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance
■
with the provided Installation Instructions.
Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and sealed
■
containers – for example, closed glass jars – may explode
and should not be heated in the microwave oven.
Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as
■
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals
or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is
specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.
Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be
■
inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or
risk of electric shock.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off
■
the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric
shock.
Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's
■
recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged
■
cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
Do not deep fry in oven. Microwavable utensils are not
■
suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying
temperatures.
Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in
■
the "PAN BROWN" mode.
Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal
■
foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
■
when used by children.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified
■
service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service
company for examination, repair, or adjustment.
Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave
■
oven.
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
■
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be
boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
– Do not overheat the liquid.
– Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
– Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
– After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing the
container.
– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil
into the container.
Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not use this
■
product near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
See door surface cleaning instructions in the "Oven Care"
■
section.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
■
– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave
oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bags in oven.
– If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or
shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave
paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity
when not in use.
