USAGE CAUTIONS

If the surface of the microwave is cracked, turn it off.
-  Failing to do so may result in electric shock.
Dishes and containers can become hot. Handle with care. 

Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Carefully remove container coverings, 
directing steam away from your hands and face. 

Remove lids from baby food before heating. After heating baby food, stir well 
to distribute the heat evenly. Always test the temperature by tasting before 
feeding the baby. The glass jar or surface of the food may appear to be cooler 
than the food in the interior, which can be so hot that it will burn the infant’s 
mouth. 

Make sure all cookware used in the oven is suitable for microwaving. 

Use microwavable cookware in strict compliance with such manufacturer’s 
recommendations. 

Do not stand on top of the microwave or place objects (such as laundry, oven 
covers, lighted candles, lighted cigarettes, dishes, chemicals, metal objects, 
etc.) on the appliance.
-  Items, such as a cloth, may get caught in the door.
-  This may result in electric shock, fire, problems with the product, or injury.
Do not operate the appliance with wet hands.
-  This may result in electric shock. 
Do not spray volatile material such as insecticide onto the surface of the 
appliance.
-  As well as being harmful to humans, it may also result in electric shock, fire 

or problems with the product. 

Do not place the appliance over a fragile object such as a sink or glass object. 
-  This may result in damage to the sink or glass object. 
Do not put your face or body close to the appliance while cooking or when 
opening the door just after cooking.
-  Take care that children do not come too close to the appliance.
-  Failing to do so may result in children burning themselves. 
Do not place food or heavy objects over the door when opening the door.
-  The food or object may fall and this may result in burns or injury. 
Do not abruptly cool the door, the inside of the appliance, or the dish by 
pouring water over it during or just after cooking.
-  This may result in damage to the appliance. The steam or water spray may 

result in burns or injury.
