WARNING!
--To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure
to excessive microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" on page 1.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See

4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
5. Do not operate the oven when empty.
6. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers -for example, closed glass
jars- are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
7. 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.
8. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
9. 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 paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
c) If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and

utensils or food in the cavity when not in use.
10. 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 person:
