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. This microwave must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlets. See page 4 for Grounding
Instructions.
3. Install or place this microwave only in accordance with installation instructions.
4. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS " on page 4.
5. Some items 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, do not overcook food. Carefully attend to the microwave when paper,
plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the microwave to facilitate cooking.
9. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing in microwave.
10. If materials inside the microwave should ignite, keep microwave door closed, turn it off, and disconnect the power
cord or turn off the power fuse at the circuit breaker panel. Do not use the microwave cavity for storage purposes.
11. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
12. Liquids, such as 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. To reduce the risk of injury: do not overheat the
liquid; stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating; do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks; after heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave a short time before removing; use extreme
care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
13. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying in this microwave. It is difficult to control the temperature of oil in the
microwave.
14. Pierce foods with heavy skins, such as potatoes, before cooking.
15. The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature should be checked
before serving to avoid burns.
16. Cooking utensils may become hot from heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to
handle these utensils.
17. Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. Do not immerse the cord or plug in water. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let the cord hang over
the edge of the table or counter.
