CAUTION
USAGE CAUTIONS
If the surface of the microwave is cracked, turn it off.
• Failing to do so may result in electric shock.
Dishes and containers can become hot. Handle with
care.
Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Carefully
remove container coverings, directing steam away
from your hands and face.
Remove lids from baby food before heating. After
heating baby food, stir well to distribute the heat
evenly. Always test the temperature by tasting
before feeding the baby. The glass jar or surface of
the food may appear to be cooler than the food in
the interior, which can be so hot that it will burn the
infant’s mouth.
Make sure all cookware used in the oven is suitable
for microwaving.
Use microwavable cookware in strict compliance
with such manufacturer’s recommendations.
Do not stand on top of the microwave or place
objects (such as laundry, oven covers, lighted
candles, lighted cigarettes, dishes, chemicals, metal
objects, etc.) on the appliance.
• Items, such as a cloth, may get caught in the
door.
• This may result in electric shock, fire, problems
with the product, or injury.
Do not operate the appliance with wet hands.
• This may result in electric shock.
Do not spray volatile material such as insecticide
onto the surface of the appliance.
• As well as being harmful to humans, it may also
result in electric shock, fire or problems with the
product.
Do not place the appliance over a fragile object such
as a sink or glass object.
• This may result in damage to the sink or glass
object.
Do not put your face or body close to the appliance
while cooking or when opening the door just after
cooking.
• Take care that children do not come too close to
the appliance.
• Failing to do so may result in children burning
themselves.
Do not place food or heavy objects over the door
when opening the door.
• The food or object may fall and this may result in
burns or injury.
Do not abruptly cool the door, the inside of the
appliance, or the dish by pouring water over it during
or just after cooking.
• This may result in damage to the appliance. The
steam or water spray may result in burns or injury.
Do not try to preheat the oven or operate it while
empty.
Do not cook without the glass tray in place on the
oven floor. Food will not cook properly without the
tray.
Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked
bottles. The containers can break.
Do not scratch the glass of the oven door with a
sharp object.
• This may result in the glass being damaged or
broken.
Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance
when it is in operation.
Do not use sealed containers. Remove seals and
lids before use. Sealed containers can explode due
to buildup of pressure even after oven has been
turned off.
