IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use this product near water - for
example: near a kitchen sink, in a wet base-
ment, near a swimming pool, or similar loca-
tions.
Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils
should not be inserted in a microwave oven
as they may create a fi re or risk of electric
shock.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Piec-
es 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 the convection or mix mode
(some models).
Do not cover racks (if equipped) or any other
part of the microwave oven with metal foil.
This will cause overheating of the microwave
oven.
Review the door cleaning instructions in the
operating instructions.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fi re in the microwave
oven cavity, take the following precautions:
Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to
the appliance when paper, plastic or other
combustible materials are placed inside the
microwave oven to facilitate cooking.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing bags in the microwave
oven.
If materials inside the microwave 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 microwave oven cavity for stor-
age purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking uten-
sils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
Liquids such as water, coff ee, or tea are
able to be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing to be boiling. Visi-
ble 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 a spoon
or other utensil is inserted into the liquid.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons from
boiling liquids:
Do not overheat the liquid.
Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks. Use wide-mouthed containers.
After heating, allow the container to stand
in the microwave oven at least 20 seconds
before removing.
Use extreme care when inserting spoons or
other utensils into the container.
If the microwave oven light fails, consult an
authorized servicer.
