IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
OPERATING
n
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
n
Do not operator the oven without the turntable in place.
The turntable must be unrestricted so it can turn.
n
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven
is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles,
cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery
or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or
glaze with a metallic sheen can be used in compliance
with cookware manufacturers’ recommendations.
n
Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave
surface when the microwave is in operation.
n
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - for example, closed jars - are able to
explode and should not be heated in the microwave
oven.
n
Do not overcook potatoes. The could dehydrate and
catch fire.
n
Do not cover any other part of the oven with metal foil.
This will cause overheating of the oven.
n
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
n
This oven is not approved or tested for marine use.
CLEANING
n
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
n
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn
off the pad and touch electrical pars involving risk of
electric shock.
n
When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes
together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive
soaps, or detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft
cloth. Rinse well.
SUPER HEATED WATER
■ Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea, are able to
be overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling. 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 THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED
OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED
INTO THE LIQUID.
■ To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
- Do not overheat the liquid.
- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
- After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
