if it has been damaged or dropped.
Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.
Do not use corrosive chemicals or any products in this appliance that produce explosive vapors.
This microwave oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food, and is not intended for laboratory
or industrial use.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers (e.g. glass jars or canned food) may
explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven.
Do not store this appliance outdoors.
Do not use this product near water, in a wet environment, near a swimming pool or close to a sink.
Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not immerse the power cord or plug in water.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE OVEN: DO NOT OVERCOOK FOOD
Carefully attend the appliance if paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the
microwave oven while cooking.
Remove wire twist ties and metal handles from containers before placing them in the oven.
Do not use the microwave oven for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the microwave oven when not in use.
Do not use the microwave oven to dry newspapers.
If materials inside the microwave oven should ignite, keep the door closed, turn the oven off, and
disconnect the power from the input source. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.
ARCING
Arcing is the scientific term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
Metal or foil touching the side of the oven
Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like an antenna)
Metal, such as twist ties, poultry pins, or gold-rimmed dishes
Recycled paper towels containing small metal particles
IF YOU SEE ARCING, PRESS THE
START/STOP
BUTTON TO STOP THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
