READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MICROWAVE
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy,
basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.
2. Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY" on page 3.
3. This microwave must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlets. See page 4 for grounding instructions.
4. Install or place this microwave only in accordance with installation instructions.
5. Some produce such as whole eggs and sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars - are able to explode and
should not be heated in this oven.
6. This microwave is intended for use only as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this
microwave. This type of microwave is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry foods. It is not designed for laboratory
use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
8. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a)
Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to the microwave when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are
placed inside the microwave to facilitate cooking.
b)
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing in oven.
c)
If materials inside the microwave should ignite, keep microwave door closed, turn it off, and disconnect the power
cord or shut off the power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
d)
Do not use the microwave cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the cavity when not in use.
9. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to 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. To reduce the risk of injury:
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.
10. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying in this microwave. It is difficult to control the temperature of oil in microwave oven.
11. Pierce foods with heavy skins, such as potatoes, whole squash, apples and chestnuts before cooking.
12. The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature should be checked
before serving in order to avoid burns.
13. Cooking utensils may become hot from heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle
these utensils.
14. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
15. Do not store or use this microwave outdoors. Do not use this microwave near water, for example, near a kitchen sink,
in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar location.
