IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- If materials inside the microwave
oven ignite, keep microwave oven
door closed, turn microwave 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 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. Use a wide-mouthed container.
- After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven at least for
20 seconds before removing the container.
- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon
or other utensil into the container.
• Clean ventilation openings and grease lters
frequently.
Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on
ventilation openings.
• When using the convection or combination
cooking functions, both the outside and
inside of the oven will become hot. Always
use hot pads to remove containers of food
and cooking accessories such as the oven
shelf, round wire rack and glass tray.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces
can burn off the pad and touch electrical
parts involving risk of electric shock.
•
Thermometer — Do not use regular cooking
or oven thermometers when cooking by
microwave or combination. The metal and
mercury in these thermometers could cause
arcing and possible damage to the oven.
Do not use a thermometer in food you are
microwaving unless the thermometer is
designed or recommended for use in the
microwave oven.
WARNING
If you see arcing, press the Cancel button
and correct the problem.
ARCING
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the
oven. Arcing is caused by:
• The metal shelf not installed correctly so it
touches the microwave wall.
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act
like antennas).
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or
goldrimmed dishes, in the microwave.
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal
pieces being used in the microwave.
