Important Safeguards
(cont’d)
12. Water, coffee or tea may overheat 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 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.
a. Do NOT overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before AND halfway through heating.
c. Do NOT use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave a short time
before removing.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
13. The contents of heating containers should be stirred or shaken and the tem-
perature should be checked before serving to avoid burns.
14. Cooking utensils may become hot from heat transferred from the heated food.
Potholders may be needed to handle the utensils.
15. Do NOT use this microwave near water (like in a kitchen sink, near a swimming
pool, in a wet basement or a similar location).
16. Do NOT operate this microwave if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
17. Do NOT immerse the cord or plug in water. Keep cord away from heated sur-
faces. Do NOT let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
18. Use only thermometers designed for microwaves.
19. Do NOT operate any heating or cooking appliance beneath the microwave.
20. Be certain the glass tray, shaft and roller rings are in place when the unit is in
use.
21. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the ap-
pliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free
customer service number for information regarding returning or replacing the
product.
Precautions to avoid exposure to excessive microwave energy:
1. Do NOT attempt to operate this microwave with the door open. Door open op-
eration can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not
to tamper with safety interlocks.
2. Do NOT place any objects between the microwave front face and the door, or
allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
3. Do NOT operate the microwave if damaged. It is particularly important that the
microwave door be properly closed and there is no damage to the: (1) door
(bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing
surfaces.
4. The microwave does not contain user serviceable parts. If you have problems,
please contact our toll-free customer service number for information.
Grounding Instructions
This microwave must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, ground-
ing reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
Short Cord Instructions
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becom-
ing entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable power cord or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the detachable power supply cord or exten-
sion cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be the
same type 3-wire.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Electrical Requirements:
• The electrical requirements for this microwave are 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only,
20 amp.
• It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the microwave be
provided.
• The microwave is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be
plugged into a wall outlet properly installed and grounded.
Radio or TV interference:
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or
TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different circuit, relocate the TV or radio
as far away from the oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving
antenna.
