When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
WARNING
- To reduce the risk of burns, electric
shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to
excessive microwave energy:
Read all instructions before using the
appliance.
Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS
TO
AVOID
POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE
TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" on page
1.
This appliance must be grounded. Connect
only to a properly grounded outlet. See
"GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” on page 4.
Install or locate this appliance only in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers (for example, closed glass
jars) can explode and should not be heated in
this oven.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type
of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook or
dry food. It is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use.
As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a.
Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance when paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials are placed inside
the oven to facilitate cooking.
b .
Remove wire twist-ties from bags
before placing bags in oven.
c.
If materials inside the oven should
ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven
off, and disconnect the power cord or
shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
d .
Do not use the cavity for storage
purposes. Do not leave paper products,
cooking utensils or food in the cavity
when not in use.
Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea can be
overheated 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 oven
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 to persons:
a.
Do not overheat the liquid.
b .
Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
c.
Do not use straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.
d .
After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for a short
time before removing the container.
e.
Use extreme care when inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the container.
Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is
difficult to control the temperature of oil in a
microwave oven.
Pierce foods with skins such as potatoes,
whole squash, apples and chestnuts before
cooking.
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.
Cooking utensils may become hot because of
heat
transferred
from
the
heated
food.
Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.
Do not cover or block any openings on the
appliance.
Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
Do not use this product near water, for example,
near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a
swimming pool, or similar locations.
Do not operate this appliance if it has a
damaged cord or a plug, if it is not working
properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.
Do not immerse cord or plug in water. Keep
cord away from heated surface. Do not let cord
hang over edge of table or counter.
