cautIon
To reduce the risk of fire in the micro-
wave oven cavity, take the following
precautions:
Do not overcook food . Carefully attend to
the appliance when paper, plastic or other
combustible materials are placed inside
the microwave oven to facilitate cooking .
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plas-
tic bags before placing bags in the micro-
wave oven .
If materials inside the microwave oven ig-
nite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off,
and disconnect the power cord or shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel .
Do not use microwave oven cavity for stor-
age purposes .
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils, or food in the cavity when not in
use .
Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are
able to be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing to be boiling . Visi-
ble 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
from boiling liquids:
Do not overheat the liquid .
Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it .
Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks . Use wide-mouthed contain-
ers .
After heating, allow the container to stand
in the microwave oven at least 20 seconds
before removing .
Use extreme care when inserting spoons
or other utensils into the container .
If the microwave oven light fails, consult an
authorized servicer .
