To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, observe the following safety
instructions:
General Use:
1. Do not use regular cooking thermometers
in oven. Most cooking thermometers contain
mercury and may cause an electrical arc,
malfunction, or damage to oven.
2. Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials that are not intended for cooking.
3. When cooking with paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials, follow
manufacturer’s
recommendations on product use.
4. Do not use paper towels which contain nylon
or other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics
could melt and cause paper to ignite.
5. To avoid surface deterioration, keep the oven
in a clean condition. Infrequent cleaning could
adversely affect the life of the appliance and
possible result in a hazardous situation.
6. Clean oven regularly and remove any food
deposits.
Heating Foods and Liquids:
7. 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 microwave
oven 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 it.
c. Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
d. After heating, allow the container to stand
in the microwave for a short time before
removing it.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon
or other utensil into the container.
8. Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat
and be hazardous to handle.
9. 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.
10. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar
foods before cooking with microwave energy.
When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
11. 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.
12. Do not heat baby bottles in oven.
13. Baby food jars shall be open when heated and
contents stirred or shaken before consumption,
in order to avoid burns.
14. Never use oven to heat alcohol or food
containing alcohol as it can more easily catch
fire if overheated.
Additional Microwave Oven Safety Instructions:
15. Do not operate equipment without load or food in
oven cavity.
16. 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.
17. Do not use metal utensils in oven.
18. An authorized servicer MUST inspect equipment
annually. Record all inspections and repairs for
future use.
Additional Combination Oven Safety Instructions:
19. Do not pop popcorn in this oven.
20. 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.
21. Oven temperature is at least 450°F in convection
mode. Verify plastic, paper or other combustible
materials are recommended by the manufacturer
to withstand the maximum oven temperature.
22. Racks, utensils, rack guides, 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.
23. Do not unplug oven immediately after use.
Internal fan must cool oven to avoid damage of
electrical components.
24. Caution: To avoid burns, do not use containers
loaded with liquid or kitchen products that
become liquid by heating at levels above those
that can be easily observed.
