TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
1. Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in
harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety
interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to
accumulate on sealing surfaces.
3. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is very important that the oven door close properly and
that there is no damage to the
a) Door (including any bents),
b) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
c) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified service personnel.
A SPECIAL NOTE ON ARCING
“Arcing” refers to the presence of sparks inside the microwave oven. It can be caused by:
• Metal or foil touching the inside walls of the oven.
• Foil not closely molded to food, where edges have been left sticking up.
• Small metal parts such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold-rimmed dishes.
• Recycled paper towels which may contain small amounts of metal.
WARNING! When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, includ-
ing the following. 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 "TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY" above.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS" on page 4.
4. Install or position this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
5. Do not operate the oven when empty.
6. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers -for example, closed glass jars- are able
to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
7. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemi-
cals 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.
8. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
9. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials
are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
c) If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the
power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
d) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in
the cavity when not in use.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (cont.)
10. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated 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 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 person:
a) Do not overheat the liquid.
b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
c) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
11. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is difficult to control the temperature of oil in microwave
oven.
12. Foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole squash, apples and chestnuts should be pierced
with a fork or the tip of a sharp knife before cooking.
