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 2.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See
“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 4.
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

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 any 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

14. Do not let cord hang over edge o f table or counter.
15. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes together on closing the door, use
only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or detergent applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
(1). Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or
other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
(2). Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bag before placing bag in oven.
(3). If material insidde of 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.
(4). 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. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed
from the microwave oven is not always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUID SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE
CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
1. Do not overheat liquids.
2. Stir the liquid before and halfway through cooking.
3. Do not use containers with straight sides and narrow necks.
4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave for a short
time before removing it.
5. Use extreme caution when inserting spoons or other utensils into the container.
18. Large-sized food or large metal utensils should not be inserted into a microwave/toaster
oven as they can create a fire or electric shock hazard.
