IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 microwave oven.
■
Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” found in this section.
■
The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” found in this section.
■
Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance
with the provided Installation Instructions.
■
Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and sealed
containers – for example, closed glass jars – may explode
and should not be heated in the microwave oven.
■
Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals
or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is
specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.
■
Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be
inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or
risk of electric shock.
■
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off
the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric
shock.
■
Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's
recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
■
Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged
cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
■
Do not deep fry in oven. Microwavable utensils are not
suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying
temperatures.
■
Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in
the “PAN BROWN” mode.
■
Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal
foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
■
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
■
The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified
service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service
company for examination, repair, or adjustment.
■
Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave
oven.
