SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
General Use
Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to
follow and safeguards to assure top performance from
this oven:
1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food
preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any
other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes.
They may catch on fire.
2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the
oven.
3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such
as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.
4. Do not operate the oven without the turntable tray in
place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.
5. Be caution when removing the turntable tray after cooking
meats that may have caused an accumulation of grease
in the tray.
6. Unlike microwave-only ovens, this oven may become hot
on the cabinet and oven door.
Always use hot pads or oven mitts when placing or
removing food and/or accessories from the oven.
Be cautions about touching parts other then control panel
during or immediately following grill or combination
cooking.
7. If the oven is hot from combination cooking, do not use
plastic or Styrofoam cookware for microwave cooking.
They may melt.
8. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking.
They may contain impurities which could cause sparks
and/or fires when used during cooking.
9. Do not continue to cook with metal utensils if sparking
appears. See "Accessories" section on page 6 for proper
use of cookware.
10. Do not leave the oven unattended during short cooking
times. Overcooking and fire may result.
11. Do not cook eggs in the shelf, as they will explode.
Occasionally a poached egg may burst during microwave

as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without first
piercing them several times with a fork.
13. Do not pop popcorn except in a microwave approved
popcorn bag or in a commercial package recommended
