7. Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when
adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able
to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of
improper use.

9. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service
personnel. Contact nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product
near water — for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar locations.
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
15. Either:
a) When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes
together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive
soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth , or
b) When separate cleaning instructions are provided, See
door surface cleaning instructions on.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when
paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed
inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in oven.
c) If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed,
turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
d) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave
paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when
not in use.
17. Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive chemicals
(for example, sulfides and chlorides). Vapours from such
corrosive chemicals may interact with the contact and springs
of the safety interlock switches thereby rendering them
inoperable.
18. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.
Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use.
If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may
overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.
19. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the
temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire.
20. 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:
1
Do not overheat the liquid.
2
Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it
3
Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
4
After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave
oven for a short time before removing the container.
5
Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil
into the container.
21. Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be
inserted in a thicrowave oven as they may create a fire or risk
of electric shock.
22. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can bum off the
pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.
23. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s
recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
24. Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal
foil. This will cause overtheating of the oven.
25. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place.
Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.
Prior to use(If your oven has a grill element)
In order to protect your oven during transportation and storage, the grill element is covered with a protective coating.
To remove this coating the grill element must be heated for 5 minutes.
This procedure will produce some bad odors as the protective coating on the element disappears.
