IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)
■ To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
— Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance
when paper, plastic or other combustible
materials are placed inside the oven while
microwave cooking.
— Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from
paper or plastic containers before placing them
in the oven.
— Do not use the oven for storage purposes. Do
not leave paper products, cooking utensils or
food in the oven when not in use.
— If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven
door closed, turn the oven off and shut off power
at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is
opened, the fire may spread.
— D o not use the Sensor Features twice in
succession on the same food portion. If food
is undercooked after the first countdown, use
COOK BY TIME for additional cooking time.
■ Do not operate the oven without the turntable in place.
The turntable must be unrestricted so it can turn.
■ Potentially hot surfaces include the oven door, floor,
walls, oven rack and turntable.
WARNING
NOTICE—PACEMAKERS
Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However,
patients with pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.
WARNING
ARCING
Arcing can occur during both speedcooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing, press the Clear/Off pad
and correct the problem.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
■ Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
■ Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like
antennas).
■ Use foil only as recommended in this manual.
■ Metal cookware used during either speedcook or
microwave cooking (except for the pans provided
with the oven).
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■ Don't defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked
bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if
the container is open, pressure can build up. This
can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting
in injury.
■ F oods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend
to boil more rapidly than foods containing less
moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and
Cleaning of the oven section for instructions on how
to clean the inside of the oven.
■ Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful
when opening any containers of hot food, including
popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To
prevent possible injury, direct steam away from
hands and face.
■ Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate
and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.
■ Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with
the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly
cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be
careful to prevent scalding when warming formula.
The container may feel cooler than the formula really
is. Always test the formula before feeding the baby.
■ Do not attempt to deep fry in the oven.
■ Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold-
rimmed dishes, in the oven.
■ Recycled paper towels containing small metal
pieces being used in the oven.
