IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MICROWAVE
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the microwave.
This microwave must be grounded. Connect only to property grounded outlets.
Install or place this microwave only in accordance with installation instructions.
Some products, such as sealed glass jars, may explode and should not be heated in this microwave.
This microwave is intended for use only as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals
or vapors in this microwave. This type of microwave is speci
fi
cally designed to heat, cook, or dry
foods. It is not designed for laboratory use.
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to the microwave when paper, plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside the microwave to facilitate cooking.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing in microwave.
If materials inside the microwave should ignite, keep microwave door closed, turn it off, and
disconnect the power cord or turn off the power fuse at the circuit breaker panel.
Do not use the microwave cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea may overheat 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 form the microwave 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: do not overheat the liquid; stir the liquid both
before and halfway through heating; do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks; after
heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave a short time before removing; use extreme
care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying in this microwave. It is dif
fi
cult to control the temperature of
oil in the microwave.
Pierce foods with heavy skins, such as potatoes, before cooking.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature
should be checked before serving to avoid burns.
Cooking utensils may become hot from heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be
needed to handle these utensils.
Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave.
Do not store or use this microwave outdoors. Do not use this microwave near water.
Do not operate this microwave if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it
has been damaged or dropped.
Do not immerse the cord or plug in water. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let the
cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
Use only thermometers speci
fi
cally designed for microwaves.
Do not operate any heating or cooking under this microwave.
Be certain the tray and roller rings are in place when using the microwave.
