6. 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.

7. Only allow children to use the oven without
supervision when adequate instructions have been
given so that the child is able to use the oven in a
safe way and understands the hazards of improper
use.

8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged
cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has
been damaged or dropped.

9. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified
service personnel.
Contact nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the
appliance.
11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this
product near water — for example, near a kitchen
sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool,
or similar locations.
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
15. Either:
a) When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that
comes together on closing the door, use only
mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied
with a sponge or soft cloth , or
b) When separate cleaning instructions are
provided, See door surface cleaning instructions
on.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance
when paper, plastic, or other com-bustible
materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in oven.
c) If materials inside the oven 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.
17. Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive
chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides).
Vapours from such corrosive chemicals may interact
with the contact and springs of the safety interlock
switches thereby rendering them inoperable.
18. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.
Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after
each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the
cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire
when next using the oven.
19. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot
control the temperature and doing so may lead to
overheating and fire.
20. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to 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.
21. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in
place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating
base.
