Food Preparation
Follow these Safety Precautions when cooking in your oven.
IMPORTANT
Proper cooking depends upon the power, the time setting
and quantity of food. If you use a smaller portion than
recommended but cook at the time for the recommended
portion, fire could result.
1)
HOME CANNING / STERILIZING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL
QUANTITIES OF FOODS
•
DO NOT
use your oven for home canning. Your oven cannot
maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. The food
may be contaminated and then spoil.
•
DO NOT
use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby
bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high
temperature needed for sterilization.
•
DO NOT
dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.
Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can
dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated.
2)
POPCORN
Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven corn popper.
Microwave popcorn that pops in its own package is also available.
Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable
for
the
cooking
power
of
your
microwave
oven.
CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, you
can follow recommended package instructions or use the Popcorn
button (refer to page 10). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop
adequately or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave the oven
unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool
before opening, and always open the bag facing away from your
face and body to prevent steam burns.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
•
Plug into properly installed and grounded three-prong
outlet.
•
DO NOT
remove ground prong.
•
DO NOT
use an adapter.
Power Supply
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
DO NOT
let cord hang over
edge of a table or counter.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used,
(1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the
appliance,
(2) the extension cord must be a grounding-type three-wire
cord,
and
(3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
Wiring Requirements
appliance should share the circuit with the microwave oven.
If it does, the branch circuit fuse may blow or the circuit breaker
may trip.
Hz GROUNDED OUTLET. Where a standard two-prong outlet is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of
the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-

Grounding Instructions
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED.
In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric
