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, and injury to persons or
exposure to excessive microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the
appliance.
2. Read
and
follow
the
specific
"PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE
TO
EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY" on page 1.
3. This appliance must be grounded.
Connect only to properly grounded outlet.
See "grounding instructions
”
on page 3.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers -for example, closed
glass jars- are able to explode and
should not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended
use as described in this manual. Do not
use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this
appliance.
This
type
of
oven
is
specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry
food. It is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision
is necessary when used by children.
8. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
cavity:
²
Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance when paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials are placed inside
the oven to facilitate cooking.
²
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
²
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.
²
Do not use the cavity for storage
purposes. Do not leave paper products,
cooking utensils or food in the cavity
when not in use.
9. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can
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 person:
²
Do not overheat the liquid.
²
Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
²
Do not use straight-sided containers
