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. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” found on page 1.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly
grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS”
found on page 5.
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.
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. As with the appliance, close supervision is necessary when
used by children.
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, 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.
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.
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.
22. UNDER-CABINET AND WALL-MOUNTED APPLIANCES:
a) Do not operate any heating or cooking appliance
beneath this appliance.
Exception: A microwave oven investigated for use above
another heating appliance is not required to have this
statement in the important safety instructions.
b) Do not mount unit over or near any portion of a heating
or cooking appliance.
Exception: A microwave oven investigated for use above
another heating appliance is not required to include
this statement in the important safety instructions.
c) Do not mount over a sink.
d) Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance
surface when the appliance is in operation.
