IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■  

Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as 

described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or 
vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is 
specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not 
designed for industrial or laboratory use. 

■  

As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when 

used by children. 

■  

Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord 

or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged 
or dropped.

■  

The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified 

service personnel. Call an authorized service company for 
examination, repair, or adjustment. 

■  

Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven. 

■  

Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use the 

microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen 
sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar 
locations.

■  

Do not immerse cord or plug in water. 

■  

Keep cord away from heated surfaces. 

■  

Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. 

■  

See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Microwave 

Oven Care” section.

■  

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven 

when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are 
placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. 

– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before 

placing bags in oven.

– 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.

– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave 

paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when 
not in use.

■  

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be 
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to 
be boiling. 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 THE CONTAINER 
IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS 
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. 

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

– Do not overheat the liquid.

– Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

– Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

– After heating, allow the container to stand in the 

microwave oven for a short time before removing the 
container.

– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other 

utensil into the container.

■  

Do not mount over a sink. 

■  

Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave 
oven when the microwave oven is in operation.

■  

Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not 
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.  

■  

When flambéing foods under the hood, turn the fan on. 

■  

Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking 
equipment.

■  

Intended to be used above ranges with maximum width of 
36" (91.44 cm).

■  

Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. Corrosive 
cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may 
damage the filter.
