Food Prepara�on
Follow these Safety Precau�ons when cooking in your oven.
IMPORTANT
Proper cooking depends upon the power, the �me se�ng
and quan�ty of food. If you use a smaller por�on than
recommended but cook at the �me for the recommended
por�on, fire could result.
1) HOME CANNING / STERILIZING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL
QUANTITIES OF FOODS
•
DO NOT
use your oven for home canning. Your oven cannot
maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. The food
may be contaminated and then spoil.
•
DO NOT
use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby
bo�les, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high
temperature needed for steriliza�on.
•
DO NOT
dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.
Small quan��es of food or foods with low moisture content can
dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated.
2) POPCORN
Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven corn popper.
Microwave popcorn that pops in its own package is also available.
Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable
for the cooking power of your microwave oven.
CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, you
can follow recommended package instructions or use the Popcorn
button (refer to page 12). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop
adequately or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave the oven
unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool
before opening, and always open the bag facing away from your
face and body to prevent steam burns.
Examine Your Oven
Unpack oven, remove all packing material and examine the oven for
any damage such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in the door.
Notify dealer immediately if oven is damaged.
DO NOT
install if oven is
damaged.
Placement of Oven
(a)
DO NOT
block air vents. If they are blocked during
operation, the oven may overheat and be damaged.
Installation
1.
DO NOT
block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the
oven may overheat. If the oven overheats, a thermal safety device
will turn the oven off. The oven will remain inoperable until it has
cooled.
WARNING: IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING PLUG
CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three-
wire extension cord that has a three-prong polarized grounding plug, and a
three-slot receptacle that will accept the plug of the appliance. The marked
rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.
(b)
DO NOT
place oven near a hot, damp surface such as a
gas or electric range, sink, or dishwasher.
(c)
DO NOT
operate oven when room humidity is excessive.
2. This oven is manufactured for household use only. It is not
approved or tested for mobile vehicle, marine, or commercial
use.
Installation
1. The oven must be placed on
a flat, stable surface. Place the
front surface of the door 3
inches (7.6 cm) or more from
the counter top edge to avoid
accidental tipping of the
microwave oven during normal
use. For proper operation, the
minimum installation height is
3.0 ft, and leave a minimum clearance of 3.0 inches on each
side, 3.0 inches on the top and 1.0
in the rear.
