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:
1
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
1
2. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS
TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found
on page 1.
1
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only
to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 3.

4. Install or locate this appliance only in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.

5. 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.
1
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.
1
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
1
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.
1
9. This appliance should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel.
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, 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. When cleaning the contact surfaces between
the door and the oven cavity, use only mild,
non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a
sponge or soft cloth.
16. 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 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. 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.
18. Do not use this microwave oven to heat
corrosive chemicals (for example, sulfides and
chlorides). Vapors from such corrosive
chemicals may interact with the contact and
springs of the safety interlock switches thereby
rendering them inoperable.
19. 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.
20. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you
cannot control the temperature and doing so
may lead to overheating and fire.
21. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray
in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the
rotating base.
