IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not store or use this appliance out-
doors.
Do not use this product near water - for
example: near a kitchen sink, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool, or simi-
lar locations.
Oversized foods or oversized metal uten-
sils should not be inserted in a microwave
oven as they may create a fi re or risk of
electric shock.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads.
Pieces can burn off the pad and touch
electrical parts, involving a risk of electric
shock.
Do not use paper products when appli-
ance is operated in the convection or mix
mode (some models).
Do not cover racks (if equipped) or any
other part of the microwave oven with
metal foil. This will cause overheating of
the microwave oven.
Review the door cleaning instructions in
the operating instructions.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fi re in the micro-
wave oven cavity, take the following
precautions:
Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to
the appliance when paper, plastic or other
combustible materials are placed inside
the microwave oven to facilitate cooking.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plas-
tic bags before placing bags in the micro-
wave oven.
If materials inside the microwave oven ig-
nite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off ,
and disconnect the power cord or shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Do not use microwave oven cavity for stor-
age purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils, or food in the cavity when not in
use.
Liquids such as water, coff ee, or tea are
able to be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing to be boiling. Visi-
ble 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
from boiling liquids:
Do not overheat the liquid.
Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks. Use wide-mouthed contain-
ers.
After heating, allow the container to stand
in the microwave oven at least 20 seconds
before removing.
Use extreme care when inserting spoons
or other utensils into the container.
If the microwave oven light fails, consult an
authorized servicer.
