IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■
Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as
described in the manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type
of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry
food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
■
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
■
Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if
it has been damaged or dropped.
■
The microwave oven should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Call an authorized service
company for examination, repair, or adjustment.
■
Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave
oven.
■
Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not
use the microwave oven near water - for example,
near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a
swimming pool, or similar locations.
■
Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
■
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
■
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
■
See door surface cleaning instructions in the
“Microwave Oven Care” section.
■
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the
microwave oven when paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials are placed inside the oven to
facilitate cooking.
– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bags in oven.
– 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.
– Do not use the 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 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 LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN
THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
– Do not overheat the liquid.
– Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
– Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
– After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave
oven for a short time before removing the container.
– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into
the container.
■
Do not mount over a sink.
■
Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven
when the microwave oven is in operation.
■
Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be
inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk
of electric shock.
■
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the
pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.
■
Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in
convection, combination, grill or “PAN BROWN” mode.
■
Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's
recommended accessories, in this microwave oven when not in
use.
■
Do not cover racks or any other part of the microwave oven with
metal foil. This will cause overheating of the microwave oven.
■
Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
■
When flambéing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
■
